<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">** 1.0 Introduction **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**1.1 Purpose** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">We need to consider to switch the UTM wireless telecommunications from TM net to YES 4G.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**1.2 Background** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Throughout the history of telecommunications in Malaysia, TM net can be considered as the first local area network that prevailed in the marketplace. The monopoly of TM net in internet telecommunication systems has already many years before the other types of telecommunications servers existed at Malaysia now. Some of theTM net users still loyal to this internet service provider however some has swtiched to other internet service providers due to several reasons such as faster speed, better coverage and so on. Eventually, YES 4G has becoming one of the promising alternative which available in the market now.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**1.3 Challenges Created by Relying Only on TM net** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Though TM net is the standard in the marketplace, it presents certain challenges for end users. Hence, we have encountered the following challenges:

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">__**Speed**__ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">In TM net, the speed of internet has faced the challenges when compared to other internet service provider which can provide higher speed. Whereas YES 4G, a new internet ser vice provider which offering the fastest speed and widesr mobile internet network in the field of telecommunication in Malaysia.

__**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Customization **__ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">In TM net, the package available is much more less interesting compared to other internet service provider. In the moment, other internet service providers have came out with sophiscated package which targeted on certain group of people such as students, businessman and so on.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**__Cost__** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">The cost of TM net is varies depends on the speed and database chosen by the consumers. However, there are many types of package in the marketplace now which are offering better speed, better price and they can whether be paid in postpaid or prepaid.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**2.0 Discussions**

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: justify;">Yes 4G provides a Campus Plan which under the Education Partner Program named as Campuspack 28. This Campuspack 28 is a plan that specially designed for students. This Campuspack 28 costs RM28 and is only valid for 30 days. However, the validity and the unused credit can be extended and carried forward by purchasing another Campuspack 28 before the 30 days are up. This Campuspack 28 provides 1GB Data and also frees 100 minutes of calls and also 400 sms. With 1 GB, a students can now browse 3,000 webpages, or sending 6,500 emails, or download 50 videos, or download 160 songs, or having 1,000,000 chats with friend.With Education Partner Program, UTM students can get a free 300MB data monthly from Yes 4G. Besides, the Yes GO 4G Dongle is suitable for the students which constantly on the go, with the laptop as for their study tool. This device is smallest, fastest and most affordable. An activation fee of RM50 is needed for the new customers, which will be deducted from RM100 rebate. Therefore, the new customers will receive a RM50 Yes Rebate. The rebate is divided into five months which mean one month will rebate for RM10.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: justify;">2.1 What is the Yes 4G plan? **


 * <span style="display: block; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">2.2 YES 4G vs TM Net **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">UTM is cooperating with TM net in providing WiFi service currently. WiFiUTM is a facility for 28,000 people (students and staff). The pricing for students is RM20 for computer services. From the result survey done by one of the faculty in UTM which is Faculty of Electrical Engineering, The actual purpose of the survey is to determine the actual speed experienced by the students from their respective residential colleges through WiFiUTM network. Majority of the students experience a very high internal speed (>10 Mbps) at which the internal sites such as e-learning, UTM Library, AIMS2000, etc.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">However, the result also has shown a slower speed at the external sites and some of the residential colleges. This is mainly due to the limited gateway bandwidth of 100Mbps/200Mbs shared by a large number of students in all 17 residential colleges. The coverage of the WiFiUTM within the campus also not very satisfied as some of the students cannot even detect this network. Besides, another problem is the stability of this network. The network could be disconnected anytime.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">In contrast, YES 4G offer Campuspack 28 which include 1 GB data, 100 minutes of free calls and 400 free sms. The pricing is RM28 for each student per month and the students only pay for what they use. The speed of this package is high bandwidth 4G network, up to 10x faster than 3G. The coverage is also better than WiFiUTM within the campus and around the residential colleges as there is a few YTL Communication Tower set up around UTM, there is one tower allocated around FPPSM and also another tower set up around College 9 and College 10. Another benefit is that Dongle is a mobile device that allows the students to be able to connect to the internet anytime within the campus.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**2.3 How to work on the plan?**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Based on the analysis, we strongly suggest network centre in University Technology Malaysia to cooperate with YES. In order to work out with the plan, UTM can join in YES’s Education Partner Program (EPP). After joining into this program, YES will provide converged 4G mobile Internet services to the students in the university. In the program, all the students are provided with 300 MB free data transfer’s capacity for every month. In order to continue the usage of internet service, the student is only needed to pay RM 28 for the plan named Campuspack 28 which lasted for 30 days in order to get 1 GB of capacity for data transfer plus receiving free 100 minutes call and 400 SMS. If the students have the desire to continue with the plan, he or she can extend the validity and carry forward the unused credit by purchasing another Campuspack 28 before the 30 days are up.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Based on our survey, we found out that University Putra Malaysia (UPM) is one of the university that participating in this program. Besides, UPM is able to associate with YES Company and get Dongle that cost RM 99 for free for each student in the campus. Dongle is a tool that allows the computer to access to the internet service provided by YES. Hence, we proposed UTM for following UPM footstep to get this kind of benefits to UTM’s students.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;">The low-latency, high bandwidth 4G network will enable UTM students to access the Internet from anywhere within the campus. Directly, this program can help students for improving their performance in education besides enable them to access to the advantages of technology in this advance era. As what being proposed by YES, UTM students are then able to do things efficiently and bring about a wave of positive change in YTL Comms 4G enabled education environment that will eventually contribute to the larger success of the nation.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">3.0 Conclusion **

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;">As previous noted, TM net is the local area network that prevailed in the marketplace. However, YES is the world's first nationwide converged 4G service that offers data, calls and SMS in one simple plan. Furthermore, YES provided faster and widest mobile internet network. Nowadays, due to increasing technology, people will always seek for the most advanced technology. Therefore, 4G network may be the first choice among people. For university students, the network connection is very important for them in accomplishing their assignments and making communication with their family and friends. For these reasons, UTM should choose the internet network that will bring most benefits for students and university itself.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**4.0 Recommendation**

=
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">UTM should consider to cooperate with YES and migrate their wireless network of TM net to YES 4G mobile internet network.
