Malaysian telco Maxis has announced what it calls the Mission-Critical Communications solution. The company says that it’s the first in Malaysia “to provide voice, live video, and data with network priority over its nationwide mobile network”. The service was showcased to officials from the Ministry of Digital, the Ministry of Defence, the armed forces, and various security and enforcement agencies at the Cyber Digital Services, Defence & Security Asia (CyberDSA) 2026 event.
Available through Maxis Business specifically, the solution “connects frontline personnel and first responders directly to central command centres, giving teams a dedicated communications link built for demanding field environments”. In other words, this gives the aforementioned first responders a priority lane for their own communications needs during emergency incidents and natural disasters, when such network traffic is expected to be congested. The integration of voice, live video and data provides “a shared operational picture to both “field units and command centres”.
