CelcomDigi is contemplating expediting the merger integration process between Celcom and Digi networks, as the company is currently progressing towards achieving a 30% integration milestone by the end of the year.
The Chief Executive Officer of CelcomDigi, Datuk Idham Nawawi, reported that the network integration and modernisation have already been implemented at over 4,400 sites as of the end of October 2023, constituting 80% of the company’s planned objectives, according to Bernama.
He mentioned, “We might integrate more this year than what we planned earlier, which is 30% will be done this year, while 40% next year and the remaining 30% in the third year”.
When asked about the potential establishment of new targets, he indicated that the numbers would not deviate significantly from the initial goals.
Earlier statements from CelcomDigi outlined a comprehensive merger, involving the integration of networks, anticipated to conclude within the next 24 to 30 months.
This consolidation aims to merge the existing 12,000 sites from Celcom and Digi into a unified network of 18,000 sites.
