Cellco Maxis and local WiMax operator Asiaspace are reportedly in talks to roll out LTE services in the country together.
Maxis is expected to build and operate the network, while Asiaspace will provide the spectrum, according to local reports. A final agreement has yet to be signed.
Last year, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) allocated a 20MHz bandwidth in the 2.6GHz spectrum to several companies, including Maxis and Asiaspace.
But the regulator reportedly told the companies that the frequencies could not be used until after 1 January 2013.
Also in 2010, Maxis said that it would invest US$435m to upgrade its networks.
At the time, Maxis was planning to cover 80% of the Malaysian population with 3G services by the end of 2010, up from 60% at the start of the year, and was testing LTE technology.
