Can I change service provider?
Customers have to subscribe for the service directly with the service provider(s). If a customer wants to switch from one provider to another, they have to cancel the subscription with the first service provider first. After this a new contract can be signed with the new service provider. It is possible to have 2 services or more at the same time from one or several different service providers. Please contact your preferred service provider and they will register your application and enable/activate the service. Service providers normally have a sign-up fee or charge. This depends on the service provider and the nature of the service. Contact the respective provider. The service providers and their contract information will be released after the start of sales.
What is FTTH?
FTTH (Fiber to the Home) is the description of a fiber optic cable delivered to the premises of the end user. Services like Internet, voice, television and other services can be delivered over the fiber optic cable. Although we assume that cable modem and DSL services are "high speed" today, they are too slow to support applications such as digital and high-definition Television, new generation games, video streaming and transfer of large data files. 1XS teams with Malaysia’s most advanced service providers to bring a world of opportunity and enjoyment directly to you. You decide on what services you want – from which providers – and how much you want to spend. The thin 1XS fiber optic cable allows your provider to offer the speed of connection up to 100Mbps.
What is “open access” and what is “1XS”?
Open Access is the name defining a network where more than one service provider is allowed to market and deliver services to the end users under one infrastructure. A True Open Access network is owned and run by a company that does not offer any end user services and thus don’t compete with its service provider partners. 1XS from JALENAS is an example of such network and the only option in Malaysia. Therefore an end user cannot buy Broadband plans from JALENAS. We only provide the connection and capability to use your service provider of choice. In JALENAS 1XS network the end user can buy and chose different services from different providers. For example, how about a broadband connection, which deliver High Speed Internet from JARING, Television from ASTRO and fixed line Telephony services from Maxis?
What is the technology used
A fiber-optic cable is installed between the end user and JALENAS Central Office location. In the end user home an access module device converts the optical signals to electronic data signals. The standard used in the home is Ethernet and IP (Internet Protocol). These protocols allow any existing triple play service (TV, Telephony, Internet) to be delivered into the home over the same and single cable connection. JALENAS metropolitan city network connects to the local Central Office to the regional point of interconnect where the service providers interface with JALENAS network. FTTH promises connection speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps) -- 20 to 100 times as fast as a typical cable modem or DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) connection -- implementing FTTH on a large scale will be costly because it will require installation of new cable sets over the "last mile link" JALENAS construct and build a totally new infrastructure independent from any existing network.
How fast is 1XS?
JALENAS’s 1XS connection and network is constructed out of the latest and modern technology to handle todays and future consumer demands. The network is much more reliably and durable than any conventional technologies. FTTH connections also will allow consumers to purchase and get all services delivered offer the same optic cable link. This is more cost effective and simple than receiving the services via different lines, as the normal case is today. Today we offer speeds up to 100 times faster. Our line interface today is a 100Mbps full duplex port but the fiber itself has almost no limitation. JALENAS will in the future be able to offer Gigabit connections and beyond. This makes FTTH very future proof and 1XS the preferred network for the next generation.
I am business applicant. Is there any business packages?
Yes, the 1XS network can carry business services. We want to refer to our service provider partners and their offerings will be announced at the start of sales. Until then you can sign up for interest with JALENAS and we will get back to you.
