KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 13): Maxis Bhd has defined in technical terms what the country's largest mobile phone operator aims for in terms of a great 4G experience.

In a statement issued recently, Maxis said it is inviting Celcom Axiata Bhd's and DiGi.Com Bhd's chief engineers to an open public dialogue on 4G measurement standards on Nov 23.

"We believe it's important that when any telco claims 'No. 1 for 4G', it is backed up with tangible, measurable and truthful results, which is why Maxis has decided to reveal our 4G definitions and performance statistics," it said.

"Coverage is important but so is quality. So when Maxis publishes our (widest) coverage, we use stringent requirements for signal strength," it added.

Maxis users should expect on Maxis 4G:
• zero buffering 98% of the time on YouTube SD
• zero buffering 96% of the time on YouTube HD
• top web pages (Google and Facebook) loading fully in less than 8 seconds
• average 4G speeds exceeding 15Mbps at all hours, both indoors and outdoors
• ultra-fast speeds of up to 225MBps in areas where Maxis has already rolled out LTE-Advanced technology, the first Malaysian telco to do so
• 90% 4G population coverage with signal strength of -98dBm in Klang Valley, Penang and JB
• 60% 4G population coverage with minimum signal strength of -98dBm across all state capitals, and
• 55% 4G population coverage with minimum signal strength of -98dBm nationwide.
