Proton ties up with YTL to offer Yes 4G in new vehicles
Proton Holdings Bhd is making this happen, thanks to its collaboration with YTL Group's Yes, one of the world's most advanced 4G networks.
Proton and YTL yesterday announced a partnership to offer Malaysia's first Internet cars.
The national carmaker's customers will enjoy Yes as a new value-added standard feature in new models, beginning with the soon-to-be-launched sedan tentatively called P3-21A.
The Proton cars will tap into Yes' 4G high-speed mobile Internet network.
The network covers more than 65 per cent of the country's populated areas, and YTL plans to increase it to 80 per cent soon.
Company officials said Yes was the only wireless network operator in the country that offered seamless 4G connectivity along the full 960km stretch of the North-South Expressway and a large portion of the East Coast Expressway.
Proton managing director Datuk Seri Syed Zainal Syed Mohamed Tahir said: "The role of the automobile is diversifying and changing rapidly. It is no longer viewed only for mobility, but is also evolving into an extension of an individual's social and business circles.
"The initiative is in line with our brand promise of being 'Committed To Be Better'."
He said this at the preview of the initiative here yesterday.
YTL Communications executive director Datuk Yeoh Seok Hong said high-speed mobile connectivity was just as essential as music players and air-conditioning in vehicles.
"This partnership with Proton will bring 4G connectivity to more Malaysians as Proton cars are ubiquitous."
