From Earth to Orbit: Building the Next-Generation Connectivity Ecosystem for a Borderless Sarawak
The Future
Sarawak’s digital ambitions depend on connectivity that reaches everyone, everywhere, from Kuching’s city centre to longhouses deep in the interior, and outwards to the rest of ASEAN and the world. This session looks at how that connectivity ecosystem is being built across every layer: fibre and tower networks on the ground, subsea links to the wider region, and satellite capacity in orbit. Bringing together a leading infrastructure provider, a national satellite operator and an academic perspective on next-generation networks, the panel explores how these layers can work as one seamless system, what emerging technologies such as low-earth-orbit satellites and 6G mean for the state, and how a “borderless” Sarawak, where geography no longer limits opportunity, can be made a reality.
