UM AND HUAWEI TO SET UP THE FIRST WORLD-CLASS BROADBAND TRAINING ACADEMY KUALA LUMPUR, 26 AUGUST 2013 – University of Malaya (UM), Huawei Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (HUAWEI) and Iconix Consulting Sdn. Bhd. (ICONIX) collaborate to setup the first-of-its-kind world-class broadband training academy to cultivate future talents seed from local and foreign universities in the high growth broadband industry. The three parties signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) today to embark on this endeavour to make UM the regional reference model of academia-industry alliance for talents cultivation. This new lab facility, to be located at the Faculty of Engineering, UM, will be the first-of-its-kind in Southeast Asia to provide Huawei Fixed Broadband Backhaul (FBB) integration ‘hands-on’ laboratory and proficiency training for the academia and industry. It will address the current shortage of trained contractors for Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) technology platform. This collaboration is the first milestone leading to the build-up of a solid base to support the UM’s vision to ultimately set up an end-to-end ICT Solutions Learning Academy which will include Mobile Broadband Backhaul (MBB), Access, Transport and Core Network. This effort will raise the benchmark in Telecommunication and ICT capabilities and capacities amongst the institutions of higher learning. ..more info pls refer to um.edu.my/mainpage.php?module=News&show=1&id=421
