KUCHING: Gamuda Land and Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM), via its business solutions arm, TM ONE, inked a strategic collaboration yesterday at Gamuda Gardens sales gallery for the deployment of converged telecommunications services at Precinct 1 and Precinct 2 including Gaia Residences, the first service apartments at Gamuda Gardens.
Through this collaboration, approximately 1,500 units of residences in Gamuda Gardens will enjoy a two-year complimentary unifi high speed internet service of 100Mbps; which will be upgraded to a higher bandwidth upon vacant possession ( VP) of their homes.
The complimentary package also comes with premium entertainment varieties from unifi TV which include LIVE sports, kids, lifestyle and international TV channels as well as telephony service.

“As one of Malaysia’s leading town-maker, Gamuda Land creates places that people will call home, want to be a part of, grow up and grow old in. One important aspect of creating a sustainable town is connecting people.
“Be it physical or digital connectivity, we are mindful throughout our masterplan design and architectural construction to incorporate the right facilities and technology to encourage interactions among people which are pertinent to building a sustainable community.
“Such demand is on an upward trend that has somewhat become a necessity, where high- speed internet is now almost as important to new home buyers as running water and electricity,” said Aw, adding that Gamuda Gardens’ property owners will expect highspeed internet connectivity to be available from the day they move in.

With our proven capabilities at TM, we aim to help property developers and local councils nationwide at solving the diverse challenges faced by urban areas in mobility and transportation, safety and security, environmental and social sustainability and public services which can be achieved through TM ONE’s comprehensive suite of smart solutions,” she added.
