JOHOR BAHRU, June 20 (Bernama) — Johor Plantations Berhad (“Johor Plantations”) has connected its entire network of operations with Maxis’ solutions. This is being enabled by Maxis’ SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) for fast, secure and stable connectivity throughout its estates, mills, biogas plants, biomethane plant and agrotech lab, spanning across 60,339 hectares.
The milestone stems from Johor Plantations’ partnership with Maxis, Malaysia’s leading integrated telco, in which Maxis designed and deployed infrastructure of over 27 microwave dishes and communications towers across Johor Plantation’s operating units to support a range of capabilities, especially Maxis’ high speed Dedicated Internet Access for cloud connectivity. This infrastructure will assist Johor Plantations in many facets, including improving palm oil crop management, worker resource planning as well as environmental management monitoring. In addition, Maxis’ Managed SD-WAN also now connects an additional 11 sites across Johor Plantation’s network, for a secured environment and better accessibility.
