Malaysia

• Licences have been awarded to Green Packet Bhd, REDtone International Bhd, YTL e-Solutions Bhd and Asiaspace Dotcom Sdn Bhd to provide WiMAX services, service rollout began with P1's network in August 2008.
• Packet One Networks has deployed WiMAX in the 2.3 GHz band in Peninsular Malaysia with coverage in most major city areas under the brand P1. It was launched in August 2008. P1 initially offered an up-to-10 Mbit/s "Wiggy" package (the fastest offered speed for wireless Internet at the time it was introduced), but the package was discontinued for sometime as the system was found to be unable to achieve or sustain the speed in real-world conditions and the company received criticisms as a result. It has since been reintroduced after the company improved their network coverage and backbone. A no-fuss prepaid 800 kpbs package is also available. Packet One Networks' parent company, Green Packet, builds the transceivers for Packet One Networks.
• Asiaspace Dotcom announced that its WiMAX network will be called AMAX. Currently the service only covers certain parts of the Klang Valley as a market test. No definite launch date is provided. The maximum speed available is 1.5 Mbit/s to consumers and 2 Mbit/s to businesses in the trial markets. However, unlike YES and P1, AMAX's service appears to be available on a monthly flat fee with no quota.
• YTL e-Solutions Bhd launched its WIMAX service under the brand YES on 19 November 2010. Like P1's solution, it uses the 2.3 GHz band. It's flagship packages are no-fuss prepaid Internet service with voice and Text Messaging as value added services, although postpaid packages are also offered on a monthly fixed quota with the ability to buy in additional quota as required, although optional as the speed of the connection is merely throttled (albeit to a paltry 64kbit/s) once the quota is reached. There is no official announcement on the speed of the connection of the service, but speeds of up to 12 Mbit/s have been recorded in metropolitan areas, with speeds of up to 2 Mbit/s being recorded in rural areas. Coverage is said to be most major city and rural areas in Malaysia, however there are many areas that still lack service coverage. YTL sources its transceivers from Infomark Korea.
• Acting on YTL's deployment of YES, REDtone has since deployed its WiMAX infrastructure under the name of REDtone Broadband WiMAX. Like AMAX, the packages are offered is a flat-rate monthly service, although unlike AMAX there is a quota depending on the package chosen. REDtone's fastest speed offered is 2 Mbit/s to both home and office. Currently the service only covers the major cities in the East Malaysia.
