    • Nokia will interlink six Open DC AI-optimised data centres—including sites in Cyberjaya, Johor Bahru, Penang and Kedah—using its Data Centre Fabric, Gateway, quantum-safe networking and high-efficiency routers.

    • A broader MoU establishes joint go-to-market plans for multi-cloud integration, enterprise connectivity, DDoS mitigation and validation of technologies under Malaysia’s MYDIGITAL and National Cloud Computing Policy.


    What happened:Deployment across six AI data centres

    Nokia has signed a partnership with Extreme Broadband (EBB) and its Open DC arm to modernise AI-focused data centres in Malaysia. The deployment spans six sites: CJ1 in Cyberjaya; JB1 Menara MSC and JB2 Menara Ansar in Johor Bahru; PE1 Menara Suntech and PE2 in Bayan Lepas, Penang; plus a forthcoming site D8-1 in Kedah.

    The upgrade includes Nokia’s Data Centre Fabric, Gateway and quantum-safe network technology, together with its 7250 and 7220 Interconnect Routers, designed for energy-efficient, high-performance operations.

    In addition, Nokia and EBB have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on market development and technology validation. The joint initiatives will focus on enterprise services—such as multi-cloud interconnect, quantum-safe enterprise connectivity and DDoS protection—as well as testing automation tools including Event-Driven Automation (EDA) and security orchestration.

    Why it’s important

    The purpose of this important project is to set up Malaysia as a regional hub for intelligent technology and the digital economy, which falls compatible with the country’s National Cloud Computing Policy and deeper MYDIGITAL agenda. The financial services sector—where regulatory standards are high—is specifically targeted by the enhanced, secure infrastructure.

    From a global-tech trend perspective, the deal reflects Nokia’s ambition to expand beyond traditional telecom gear into AI-driven network infrastructure, sustainability and next-generation security across emerging markets. It complements earlier deals in Malaysia—such as its modernisation of Maxis’ data centres with 7220 IXRs and EDA platforms earlier this year.
