General : RM300 Mln Project To Transform Kota Kinabalu Into Smart City By 2028
KOTA KINABALU, Oct 11 (Bernama) -- Kota Kinabalu is set to be transformed into a smart city through a project worth about RM300 million, expected to be completed by February 2028, enhancing urban management, public safety and service delivery.
The Kota Kinabalu Smart City Project, worth approximately RM300 million, is set to transform the Malaysian city into a smart city by 2028. The project, initiated on August 6, is a collaboration between the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK), utilizing Universal Service Provision (USP) funds.
It involves developing fibre-optic and public Wi-Fi networks, installing 822 smart poles and multi-purpose poles, and establishing a Network Operations Command Centre (NOCC) within the former Kota Kinabalu Magistrates’ Court building. The NOCC will house a data centre with a capacity of 120 kW, supporting real-time monitoring for improved urban management, public safety, and service delivery.
The project also includes public Wi-Fi facilities to boost digital connectivity and economic opportunities. The MCMC will cover operating costs for five years after the two-year development period before transferring the facility to DBKK.
