Telekom Malaysia’s enterprise and government sector digital solutions arm TM One announced that it has formed a partnership with local property developer PR1MA Corporation Malaysia to leverage broadband, digital and IoT solutions to help build sustainable smart-housing projects.
Under the three-year deal, TM One will establish a centralised monitoring system for PR1MA’s project tracking and workflows, which it says will improve operations and resource management, and enable data-driven decision-making.
PR1MA will also utilise TM One’s IoT-based solutions for energy and environmental monitoring to lower operational costs and adopt sustainable best practices.
“This partnership supports the creation of connected and eco-friendly living spaces, aligning with PR1MA’s community-centric vision and Malaysia’s Smart City aspirations,” said TM One Executive VP Shazurawati Abd Karim. “By fostering future-ready ecosystems and sustainable urbanisation, we will jointly integrate digital innovation into affordable, high-quality housing.”
Mohd Nazri Md Shariff, PR1MA’s group CEO and Member of Corporation, said PR1MA will also leverage the operator’s solutions to embed smart-home solutions into its residential projects.
“Through this partnership, PR1MA aims to integrate smart solutions from planning to construction, ensuring efficient project management,” he said in a joint statement. “It will also enable our subsidiaries, PR1MA Communications and PR1MA Facilities Management, to provide sustainable connectivity and advanced technologies that enhance convenience, security, and quality of life for residents. These efforts will transform PR1MA’s developments into fully connected, smart communities.”
PR1MA Communications signed a similar deal with CelcomDigi in October 2024, when both companies signed an MoU to collaborate on providing fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) and fixed wireless access (FWA) solutions to PR1MA projects.
That deal also includes implementation of centralised network solutions, managed from a single data centre, to enable “real-time monitoring of bandwidth usage and provide seamless digital experiences at affordable costs”, according to CelcomDigi.
