These major clients will integrate and demonstrate these real-world solutions, as well as the true potential of these new industry solutions and use cases enabled by 5G, IoT, Cloud, Edge Computing, and other technologies, all supported by Maxis’ market-leading converged connectivity capabilities, in their respective businesses and industries.

Due to the sheer variety of partners in Maxis’ 5G Alliance ecosystem, corporate clients will profit from this network in the following ways:
