On 01st September 2022, DST, imagine, Progresif with support from AITI and UNN activated the Broadband Uplift program with the aim to raise the fixed broadband baseline speed for all subscribers to at least 50Mbps, an initiative to champion the nation’s progress towards transforming Brunei into a Smart Nation, aligned with the Digital Economy Masterplan 2025 and Wawasan Brunei 2035.

While the nation’s infrastructure is 5G-ready, it is important that the industry players are also ready. It is crucial for the relevant handset vendors and telecommunications service providers (DST, imagine, Progresif) to be aware of the types of devices that are compatible with Brunei’s network.

In Brunei, Unified National Networks is building a single wholesale state-owned telecommunications network infrastructure that Chief Operations Officer Uwe Beydemüller believes is unique.

With a refreshed experience-first network from Juniper, this partnership will bolster UNN’s efforts to create a modernized and efficient telecommunication backbone that will support the government’s five-year masterplan for transforming Brunei into a Smart Nation, which was first announced in 2020.

The need to promote digital connectivity is clear and urgent. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that connectivity is no longer a luxury but a lifeline for working, learning, keeping in touch and accessing essential services. In keeping with its momentum, the Brunei Telecommunications Industry will be uplifting fixed broadband speeds with the objective to bringing the baseline speed up to 50Mbps.
