Asiaspace was incorporated in 1996. In April 1998 (before Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission was set up), the company was granted a telecommunication license under the repeated Telecommunication Act 1950 to provide satellite network services in Malaysia.
The company subsequently registered its license under the new Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA) and on 8th May 2001, the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) granted the company a Network Facilities Provider License (NFP), Network Service Provider (NSP) and Applications Service Provider (ASP) license. The company has also been awarded the L-band spectrum and the 2.3GHz WIMAX spectrum, making the company a full-fledged telecommunications company.
Asiaspace, through its NFP license, was given the right to provide, construct and maintain telecommunications infrastructure such as earth stations, fixed links and cables, radio communications transmitters, satellite hubs and links, tower, poles, ducts and pits in conjunction with other network facilities.
The company’s NSP license allows it to provide and maintain bandwidth, broadcasting distribution, cellular, customer access, and mobile satellite services. Network services represent the core service platforms across different networks necessary for the delivery of telecommunication services to end users. |

Asiaspace’s ASP license on the other hand enables the company to deliver any functionality and applications to end users, such as voice communications, broadcasting services,
access to the internet etc.Our digital Audio Broadcasting license is being used for Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
for both for satellite and terrestrial over the L-Band frequency spectrum. The DAB technology has advanced and evolved with features for DMB (digital multimedia broadcasting)
and DAB+ (advance coding for radio broadcasting). We are able to use our spectrum blocks to cater for
terrestrial and satellite broadcasting.
Our 2.3GHz WIMAX license enables us to provide wireless transmission of data in a variety of ways, ranging from internet access, point-to-point links to full mobile cellular-type access. The license enables us to provide high speed broadband without the requirement of cable connectivity. The WIMAX technology is based on the IEEE 802.16e standard (Wireless Broadband Access with Mobility). |
