Wednesday August 25, 2010


KUALA LUMPUR: Telekom Malaysia (TM) has signed an agreement with the Government for the provision of network and maintenance services, as well as Internet-Protocol Virtual Private Networks (IP VPN).



The telco has undertaken to provide the services, which are stipulated for the period from Jan 1, 2009 to Dec 31, 2011 and are valued at a total of RM170.4mil, according to a filing with Bursa Malaysia.



IP VPN is a new service to be provided to the Government to enable the transmission of videos between RTM's regional TV studios and Angkasapuri.



TM has been providing the network and maintenance services prior to the privatisation of the Telekoms Department and this transaction is a renewal of the existing services provided by TM, with the IP VPN service as value-add.



TM has been providing network and maintenance services for RTM's television and radio facilities nationwide since 1946.



These services include the operation and maintenance of TV and FM radio transmitters, electricity, mechanical and electrical facilities, the provision of TV and FM circuits, as well as the rental of floor and tower spaces. - Bernama
