Yes 5G Advanced Goes Nationwide on Prepaid
In a bold step for Malaysia’s mobile landscape, Yes has announced that its 5G Advanced service is now available on prepaid plans across the country. Marking a historic milestone, the telco has delivered a nationwide rollout of 5G Advanced on Digital Nasional Berhad’s (DNB) 5G network, keeping Yes at the forefront as the first Malaysian operator to achieve nationwide deployment.
What 5G Advanced Means for Malaysian Consumers
5G Advanced represents an evolution beyond standard 5G, offering higher speeds, improved latency, and more robust performance for demanding applications. For prepaid users, this means a richer everyday mobile experience—from seamless video streaming and cloud gaming to faster file sharing and reliable connectivity in crowded city centers and regional towns alike.
Key Benefits for Yes Prepaid Customers
- Wider coverage: Nationwide reach means fewer dead zones and more consistent service, regardless of where customers travel.
- Faster speeds: Enhanced throughput supports advanced apps, mobile work, and high-quality media on the go.
- Lower latency: Real-time interactions, gaming, and video calls feel more instant and responsive.
- Network efficiency: 5G Advanced optimizes spectrum use for a smoother everyday experience on prepaid plans.
Partnership with Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB)
Yes’s nationwide 5G Advanced deployment is anchored on DNB’s 5G network, a national platform designed to unify coverage and elevate performance across Malaysia. The collaboration enables Yes to scale 5G Advanced across diverse environments—from urban skylines to regional hubs—without the need for separate operator-specific infrastructure in each locale.
Why This Matters for the Market
Being the first Malaysian operator to roll out 5G Advanced nationwide on the DNB network sets a new benchmark for prepaid offerings. It demonstrates Yes’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology to a broad audience, including students, remote workers, and digital-native users who rely on mobile internet as a core lifeline. For competitors, the move raises the bar for pricing, bundled benefits, and coverage guarantees on prepaid products.
What Customers Should Know
Prepaid customers can switch to or activate 5G Advanced-enabled plans where available, enjoying the improved capabilities that come with the nationwide rollout. As with any nationwide deployment, customers should ensure their devices support 5G Advanced and verify coverage in their locations. Yes encourages users to check the latest plan details, data allowances, and any promotional bundles tied to the 5G Advanced service.
The Road Ahead
With 5G Advanced now a staple on prepaid, Yes will likely focus on expanding capacity, optimizing speeds during peak times, and introducing additional value-added services that leverage the enhanced network. The nationwide milestone also positions Malaysia more competitively in the regional 5G race, inviting broader innovation across industries such as education, healthcare, and smart city initiatives.
