TM R&D Secures Double Wins at Malaysia Technology Excellence Awards 2026
Recognised for advancing AI-driven network assurance and automation in telecommunications
CYBERJAYA, 7 April 2026 – Telekom Research & Development Sdn Bhd (TM R&D), the innovation arm of TM Group and a subsidiary of Multimedia University (MMU), has won the Network and Broadband – Telecommunications and Automation – Telecommunications categories at the Malaysia Technology Excellence Awards 2026. The recognition celebrates the development of two platforms, ANTRIX and SMART-E which enhance network assurance and automate large-scale infrastructure migrations across Telekom Malaysia Berhad’s (TM) nationwide network.
Developed by TM R&D in collaboration with Group Network Technology of TM, both platforms address long-standing operational challenges in network assurance and infrastructure upgrades while improving efficiency, visibility and service continuity across TM’s broadband ecosystem.
The Advanced Neural Telecommunication Resolution Interface and Exchange (ANTRIX) is a smart network operations platform deployed across TM’s nationwide network in December 2025. It monitors network alerts, performance data and service indicators to detect issues in real time. Unlike traditional systems that relied on manual reporting and reactive processes, ANTRIX automates monitoring and response, enable faster generation of trouble tickets, restoration plans, work permits and change requests.
ANTRIX has also replaced TM’s legacy system and provides intelligent analysis tools that help identify root causes and coordinate solutions more efficiently across the network.
System for Migration & Technology Refresh of Network Element Tool (SMART-E) was developed to streamline Optical Line Terminal (OLT) migration activities during network upgrades and technology refresh programmes. Previously, migration processes involved manual configurations and extended timelines that affected inventory synchronisation and service continuity.
The platform automates the entire migration process, making it easier for systems and teams to work together. It also connects with TM’s inventory to handle key tasks automatically, such as setting up services, managing changes and carrying out checks before and after migration.
Dr. Sharlene Thiagarajah, Chief Executive Officer of TM R&D, said the recognition reflects the organisation’s continued commitment to research driven innovation that delivers real value to the business and to our customers.
“At TM R&D, we focus on developing solutions that address real operational challenges within the telecommunications ecosystem. ANTRIX and SMART-E demonstrate how AI and intelligent automation can enhance network assurance, improve operational efficiency and support large-scale infrastructure upgrades. We are pleased to collaborate with TM in advancing innovations that strengthen TM’s network capabilities and support Malaysia’s ongoing digital transformation.”
Chairman of TM R&D and President of MMU, Prof. Dato’ Dr. Mazliham Mohd Su’ud, expressed his pleasure on the achievement, stating that: “This remarkable milestone reflects MMU’s strong standing as an AI-driven university, committed to advancing impactful innovations that address real-world challenges.”
The Malaysia Technology Excellence Awards, presented by Asian Business Review, recognises organisations that are leading technological innovation and digital transformation across industries in Malaysia.

As part of our Big Idea Lecture Series, we were honoured to host Prof. Dr. Ir. @ZainalAripinZakariah, former GM of Research at TM R&D, who shared the story of how he helped transform Telekom R&D from the ground up.
In 1993, the unit was small, the resources limited and the path uncertain. But instead of waiting for perfect conditions, he made the decision to move forward, to jump-start research efforts by building partnerships, activating talent and driving progress one step at a time.
His talk reminded us that progress starts with action. That being resourceful, bold and connected to purpose can spark growth even in challenging times.
As we move forward, we carry this mindset with us. Because to shape the future, we must be willing to start, even when the way isn’t clear yet.
At TM R&D, we believe innovation doesn’t just happen. It is built with intent, courage and a clear sense of purpose.

The solution also delivers valuable insights that help companies make more informed decisions about improving their mobile networks. These insights guide critical business decisions, leading to smoother network performance and enhanced customer satisfaction. Ultimately, MINDS not only prevents issues but also improves the overall quality of mobile services, resulting in happier customers and more efficient operations.



Commenting on the achievement, Dr. Sharlene Thiagarajah, Chief Executive Officer of TM R&D, said, “We are deeply honoured to receive this award, which reflects our steadfast commitment to innovation in driving and accelerating the digital economy. This global recognition underscores our belief in the transformative power of technology to not only shape the future of digital landscapes but also tackle real-world challenges in managing and enhancing mobile network performance.”

During the session, Dr. Sharlene outlined three key pillars of climate governance: 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, which focuses on managing the immediate risks of climate change; 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, aimed at building resilience within the economy and ensuring self-sufficiency knowing that the climate risk is coming; and 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, which emphasises adopting solutions in a way that does not negatively impact businesses or the economy. Dr. Sharlene also highlighted the critical role of digital technology in advancing these pillars, using TM R&D’s Smart Water Integrated Management System (SWIMS) as an example. SWIMS is a homegrown solution that provides real-time monitoring and data analysis of water resources, helps manage water consumption, detects water leakages and optimises water distribution. At the event, we also showcased two of our innovative solutions: – 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 – enabling data-driven decision-making for forestry management. – 𝗔𝗜 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 – empowering more efficient and accurate carbon footprint tracking. These solutions represent our commitment to leveraging technology for a greener future, in alignment with global climate goals. Together, we are building a better tomorrow!

TM R&D Showcases Cutting-Edge Innovations to MOSTI Secretary General During Cyberjaya Visit

The latest stocktake of global corporate net-zero objectives reveals a concerning trend – while over one-third of the world’s largest publicly traded companies have committed to some form of net-zero target, a staggering 65% are failing to meet even the most basic reporting protocols.
This glaring gap between intention and action poses a significant threat to our collective goal of achieving a climate-safe future. Bridging this gap demands a step away from the status quo of “business as usual” thinking, which drives the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss that we currently face.
Recently, Professor Donald Lessard from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) popped over to TM R&D to give an open and fresh take on what he terms as “critical sustainability imperatives”. We delved deep into the urgent need for radical changes in business models, technology and policy, recognising that addressing these challenges demands a multifaceted approach from corporate players to government law makers.
In our pursuit of decarbonisation, we must ensure that our transformational efforts strike a balance between corporate profitability and sustainability goals. Our transformation plans should demonstrate how we’ve weighed factors such as local environmental impact, risk and reward analysis, and government policies to incentivise and support our initiatives.

Innovating for the Future: TM R&D Showcases Solutions at MOSTI’s ‘Majlis Amanat Tahun Baharu 2024’

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/telekom-research-and-development/?miniCompanyUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniCompany%3A702187"> </a>The race towards net zero is not your average competition – it is a global sprint to move into a sustainable future, with nations, businesses and individuals all vying for the gold medal in carbon reduction. Imagine this, in 2023, some countries experienced the hottest ever temperatures in history. This has been a huge wake-up call to many to start putting in efforts to combat climate change before there is nothing left to fight for. Here at TM R&D, we were fortunate to have Prof. John E. Fernández from the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) shed some light on how climate change has turned the world on its axis and also, answered the possibilities of whether we can achieve this race by 2050. The short answer to that is yes, thankfully, we are a sticky species and won’t go extinct. But, as he says, there is an enormous increase in greenhouse gas emissions particularly from emerging economies catching up on development. Yes, more efforts must be made from these markets but also much is expected from wealthy countries to weigh in and shoulder greater responsibilities. Prof Fernández explained what are the tipping points we should be aware of, and how research and development can play a pivotal role in combatting different factors in this critical journey. Areas like AI, energy, materials and technology fall under a broad spectrum but have vast potential to be the answer for many of our global climate problems today.

MyDIGITAL CEO Visits TM R&D

TM R&D recently participated in a panel session at the World Digital Economy and Technology Summit (WDET) 2023 organised by the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ksinstitute/">KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific</a>. Titled “The impact of digitalisation on ESG and how digital technology can support sustainability”, the panel of speakers included our CEO Dr. Sharlene Thiagarajah, Ms. Barbara Meynert, Mr. Shazali Sulaiman, Ms. Arina Kok, Mr. Girish Mavath, Mr. Murugason R. Thangaratnam and Ms. Shikha Kedia Bharadwaj.



Moderated by Adj. Practice Professor Cheah Kok Hoong, Dr Sharlene shared her insights on the role TM R&D plays in shaping digital sustainability. At TM R&D, all our solutions are built primarily to improve efficiency and productivity – basically, reduce waste and improve the effective use of manpower and assets. The smart utilities solution for example, monitors non-revenue water leakages while the workforce management streamlines task distribution and connects all stakeholders seamlessly on one platform.



The topic that resonated with the audience was how TM R&D is supporting the Central Forest Spine (CFS) program, a national-level initiative in collaboration with Jabatan Perhutanan Negeri Selangor (JPNS).  The forests are disconnected due to uncontrolled development, logging, agricultural expansion, deforestation, and overharvesting. Thus, the purpose of CFS is to ‘connect’ all these disconnected forests by building a safe forest corridor, thereby enhancing the connectivity of these diverse jungle ecosystems. Digital technology can play an impactful role in problem-solving some of the key obstacles the agencies face on the ground.



At TM R&D, we believe it is imperative that corporate Malaysia invests in R&D as a catalyst for business growth and profitability as well as contribute to the nation’s high economy ambitions. Research and innovation is not only about the headlines of creating new knowledge but also to deliver consistency in the areas of value creation and making a tangible business impact.



Just about every industry is struggling to find creative and skilled workers, making talent one of the scarcest resources globally. We must establish Malaysia as a talent hub – FDIs will invest where there is a strong pool of talent, as every organisation wants to thrive. And we all know that behind every great company is its people!

TM R&D Supports Cyberview’s InnoJam Design Challenge with OIP

Our CEO, Dr. Sharlene Thiagarajah was invited as a guest speaker for the Fireside Chat Session with YB Teo Nie Ching, Deputy Minister of Communications and Digital to discuss the topic of Women Impact in Tech: Trend or Demand.



Joined by other leaders namely Jun Maria Tan Abdullah, Senior Director of Human Capital, PayNet; Izzana Salleh, Co-Founder & Global President of Project Girls 4 Girls and Ivy Kwan, Vice President & Key Account Manager of Ericsson, the Fireside Chat Session was uniquely held while on a journey from Kuala Lumpur to Tanjung Malim via a KTMB chartered train.



Dr. Sharlene shared her invaluable insights and conveyed that yes, women’s impact in tech is significant and a growing demand in the industry but diversity and inclusiveness are also important.

	In-house smart solutions for Fixed Wireless Access connectivity and customer experience platform for frontliners awarded under “Connectivity-Telecommunications” and “AI-IT Services” categories respectively
 Telekom Research & Development Sdn Bhd (TM R&D), the innovation arm of Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), recently bagged two awards at the Malaysia Technology Excellence Awards 2022, organised by the Singapore Business Review.
The Malaysia Technology Excellence Awards spotlights exceptional companies who are technology disruptors that boosts Malaysia’s economy. TM’s Fast Internet for All (FIRA) solution was bestowed the award under the “Connectivity-Telecommunications” category, while TM’s Single Platform on Intelligent Customer Experience (SPICE.ai) won the award in the “Artificial Intelligence (AI)-IT Services” category.
Commenting on these awards, Dr. Sharlene Thiagarajah, Chief Executive Officer, TM R&D said, “I couldn’t be prouder of my team as these awards reflect their commitment to meet the fastevolving digital needs of today’s customers and strengthen our position as a research leader in these fields. This recognition also reaffirms our efforts in building smarter digital ecosystems to facilitate the ease with which Malaysians can embrace a more digital lifestyle, while also bringing progress to the nation.”
FIRA was introduced as a way to support the government in providing Malaysians with quality access to digital connectivity nationwide. Aimed at offering better internet service to underserved communities, FIRA uses Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) technologies to improve connectivity in rural areas across Malaysia. Since its first deployment in Malacca back in July 2020, the solution has demonstrated promising success in improving download and upload link speeds compared to other broadband services. The solution has since been implemented at a rural school in Selangor and at Pusat Komuniti Desa sites under the Ministry of Rural Development. It has also supported an IR4.0 use case in Terengganu.
“FIRA is formulated to address two common issues: coverage and speed. The solution is capable to deliver connectivity up to 50Mbps within 5-8km range, compared to a traditional 4G cell within 1km range. Furthermore, with its quick deployment procedures, FIRA can help mitigate customers’ connectivity concerns in a cost-effective and timely manner,” shared Dr. Sharlene.
SPICE.ai, on the other hand, aims to assist frontliners in their daily task of addressing customer service enquiries and requests.
Dr Sharlene explained, “SPICE.ai consists of multiple components that cover different parts of an existing customer experience system. By integrating these components, frontliners gain a more holistic view of each customers’ profiles. The solution then implements real-time analytics to improve customer experience, giving frontliners the right information at the right time which allows them to deliver a better experience to customers.”
This analytics system has been deployed nationwide for nearly two years and becomes the primary touchpoint for more than 5,000 TM frontliners in most customer interactions across multiple channels. The performance of SPICE.ai has proven to be reliable and seamless even when integrated with more than 20 existing, standalone systems and was still able to relay the processed information through one single platform, on top of providing analytics and advisory.
Established in 2001, TM R&D is the innovation arm of TM Group focusing on creating smarter ecosystems to make business and life easier for a better Malaysia. TM R&D’s solutions are clustered around four pillars namely Intelligent Platforms, Data Brokerage, Connectivity/Tools and IR4.0/Digital Solutions. Growing from strength to strength, TM R&D has won multiple global awards and generated more than 2,800 Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and 1,400 digital assets to date. TM R&D’s innovations are developed in-house and cut across multiple industries such as Utilities, Retail, Agriculture, Healthcare and Education, with safety and productivity as its top priority.

TM R&D wins Global Business Outlook Awards 2021 for its innovation, CAMELIA

Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) through its innovation arm, TM Research & Development (TM R&D) wins the AI – Telecommunications Award at the recent Malaysia Technology Excellence Awards 2021, presented by Singapore Business Review.



The award was conferred in recognition of the Company’s achievement in developing PATROL as a proof of function for research particularly on automatic detection of construction using vehicle dashcam and generate proactive alerts using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms.



This is the fourth award received by TM R&D from the Malaysia Technology Excellence Awards in its three years of running. The awards ceremony lauds exceptional companies that have successfully pioneered IT products, solutions and innovative technology projects in their respective industries to boost Malaysia’s fast-growing economy.



Commenting on the accomplishment, Dr. Sharlene Thiagarajah, Chief Executive Officer, TM R&D said, “This is indeed a proud moment for us. Winning the award is a huge boost for our effort in showcasing how AI can be applied to solve real-life problems. It is also a huge encouragement for us to further strengthen our position as the leader in the research, development and innovation field. This award goes out to the team for delivering such outstanding work. We hope it will give them the drive to explore more innovations for TM to serve a more digital society, digital business, digital industry and digital Government, towards accelerating Digital Malaysia.”



Project PATROL was developed to provide early warning alerts on areas where TM infrastructure has a high risk of being destroyed due to civil and construction works by a third party. Ideally, before the civil or construction works were to begin, TM and other utility companies are to be consulted to ensure proper precautionary measures are taken to avoid telecommunication cable or other utility infrastructure cuts such as water or sewerage.



The cable cuts will lead to loss of broadband and other telecommunication services which will cause major inconveniences to consumer lifestyle and businesses, as well as operation nightmare for any telcos. To fill in those gaps, PATROL was developed powered by digital and AI capabilities.



PATROL leverages AI, object detection capabilities and the Internet of Things (IoT) to detect a construction area using a dashcam. The system then automatically checks if the unregistered civil and construction activity is in close proximity to underground or overhead cable infrastructure. Several parameters are used to assess risk before an alert is sent to the Network Operations Centre for investigation.



“PATROL provides real-time alerts on civil and construction activities that pose a high risk to the security and safety of TM’s cable infrastructure. This information allows telco providers to act fast in preventing possible threats to their assets. With PATROL, we foresee a huge opportunity for operational cost avoidance due to cable cut cases,” she further added.

TM R&D Participates in Business Foresight Forum 2020

The Smart Water Integrated Management System (SWIMS) won the IoT Innovation Award category while the Enterprise Energy Management System (EENT) received recognition under the Data Innovation Award category.



Telekom Research & Development Sdn Bhd (TM R&D), the innovation arm of Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), recently bagged two (2) awards at the prestigious World Communication Awards 2020 organised virtually in London, United Kingdom.



The awards, the fourth and fifth received by TM R&D this year, were conferred to TM R&D for its innovative solutions namely Smart Water Integrated Management System (SWIMS) under the IoT Innovation Award category while Enterprise Energy Management System (EENT) received the recognition under the Data Innovation Award category.



Commenting on the milestone achievement, Dr. Sharlene Thiagarajah, Chief Executive Officer, TM R&D said, “This is indeed a proud moment for us at TM R&D. For our internally-developed smart solutions to be recognised at the World Communication Awards, it is indeed a huge encouragement for us to further strengthen our position as the leader in research, development and innovation field. This double win is a remarkable feat and my heartiest congratulations to everyone in the TM R&D team who has put tremendous efforts in providing the best for our customers and partners.”



“In addition, we will continue to innovate with purpose and introduce smarter digital solutions that will enhance and transform lives and businesses while simultaneously supporting TM’s aspirations and unique role as the enabler of Digital Malaysia,” she added.



In the global telecommunications industry, the World Communication Awards are the most revered mark of achievement. For over 22 years, the awards have recognised innovation excellence in global telecoms companies and attract hundreds of submissions annually.



SWIMS is an Internet of Water (IoW) solution, essentially doing for water what Internet of Things (IoT) does for various other industries and verticals such as electric utilities, transportation, smart cities and factory automation. It enables in-depth, new insights into the operations and the right tools to act on those insights.



“SWIMS offers end-to-end smart water management that improves non-revenue water management. It optimises the repair and replacement of ageing water infrastructure as well as improves responses to weather events such as water level and quality. The solution has now been commercially-deployed, bringing real innovation to the public,” shared Dr. Sharlene.



Another recognition received by TM R&D at the World Communication Awards was for EENT. It is a universal internet of energy management solution developed as an agnostic platform to cater for all types of IoT devices, system designs, geographical demand, multi-tenancy or budgeting, with its backend connected to an in-house IoT hosting platform.



“EENT offers a seamless end-to-end smart energy monitoring system that improves energy management, optimises energy use as well as improves response to energy saving plan. It adopts big data architectures and analytics technologies, turning the data challenge into an opportunity and ultimately driving revenue, profit or cost reduction,” she revealed.

Growing from strength to strength since 2016, TM R&D has won 19 globally recognised awards and generated more than 2,800 Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and 1,400 digital assets to-date.
