Solutions For You

Strong leadership creates first-class IT, Internet and Communications Solutions

Overview
TIME dotCom Berhad (TIME) is the second-largest but fastest growing fixed-line telecommunications network and solutions provider in Malaysia.

TIME has been listed on the main board of Bursa Malaysia since 2001. The Group underwent a management change in October 2008 and has since completed its business turnaround, recording strong quarterly of profits since mid-2009.

As a data-centric operator, TIME’s business is anchored at providing backhaul and wholesale bandwidth solutions to leading local, regional and global operators. The Group also offers extensive fibre optic-based telecommunications services to large corporations, government organisations and enterprises that demand uncompromising reliability. Within the consumer space, TIME offers 100% fibre-based broadband services.

The TIME business is built on its advance fibre optic network, the Cross Peninsular Cable System (CPCS™) - the most robust transborder terrestrial system ever built. Designed as a fully meshed network over five dedicated fibre routes traversing from Thailand to Singapore, the CPCS™ delivers a guaranteed 99.999% up time availability – validating it as a network built with the future in mind.

TIME's wholesale business encompasses the sale of bandwidth to support the data traffic between Indochina and Singapore. TIME also provides the crucial fibre backbone to at least 70% of regional and global Services Providers located in the Asia Pacific region.

Within the Corporate and Government sectors, TIME focuses on providing highly reliable data solutions.

With its core network designed to meet all the future demands of the market, TIME embarked on an aggressive expansion of its 100% Fibre network direct to premises to provide the reliable Internet products and services to the consumer and enterprise market.

In 2010, TIME Fibre Internet™ and TIME Fibre Broadband™, a 100% fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) high-speed broadband, became widely available to over 60,000 premises. This product offers Malaysian home and office users the fastest broadband connectivity in the country with speeds of up to 50Mbps.

The strength of its fibre optics capabilities and network footprint has positioned TIME as the preferred partner for mobile node fiberisation, providing the critical backhaul capacity to mobile operators. TIME’s fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) technology is utilised by a leading pay TV operator to deliver IPTV directly into homes.

The combination of TIME's high performing CPCS™ network, its wide range of 100% fibre-based data products and services, its unwavering customer service and major industry coups has positioned the Group to face future challenges in the wired-line telecommunications market well in the country.

After strengthening its domestic presence, TIME is now set to transition itself into a regional wholesale service provider by proposing the acquisition of a group of companies within the telecommunications industry.

The proposed acquisitions are subject to shareholder approval and scheduled for completion in mid-2011.
