And with such importance stands today, Malaysia’s first national automotive maker Proton had announced their collaborative move with one of the most advanced 4G networks in the world, Yes, in producing Malaysia’s first 4G internet cars. This new feature will be as a standard, starting from the upcoming new model from Proton, the P3-21A.
With the coverage of over 65% of the country’s populated area, future Proton cars will be able to enjoy Yes’ 4G mobile internet network not only on those areas, but also along the whole North-South Expressway, and most of the East-Coast Expressway.
