TELEKOM Brunei Berhad’s (TelBru) Smart Nation campaign is steadily gaining momentum, following the first flagship roadshow that took place earlier this year, with the Cosmopolitan College of Commerce and Technology (CCCT) opting to introduce the company’s initiative to its students yesterday, said a press release.
Ranging from possibilities in – but not limited to – agricultural, power management, disaster relief and healthcare solutions towards addressing global urban challenges, today’s roadshow focused on the latest in technology that can be tailor-made into co-creating a future of better living through tech-enabled solutions with existing and potential applications in a variety of fields.
With the consideration that progress for Smart Nation requires consolidated effort across various stakeholders, ranging from the private sector to educational institutions and policymakers, TelBru is encouraged by the positive feedback it has thus far received and expresses hope that more institutions will step forward.
Being the main telecommunications provider in Brunei that strives to continuously improve its services and infrastructure, TelBru aspires to become the pioneering solutions provider in the country through the likes of Internet-of-Things and big data over the backbone of TelBru’s continuous Fibre Optic rollouts.
Yesterday’s roadshow, which was opened with welcoming remarks from Nadirah binti Jambol, the CCCT’s Acting Director of Studies, also saw the introduction of Brunei’s Smart Nation Online Community (SNOC).

This is to encourage students to contribute their ideas, whilst at the same time exposing them to endless tech-solution possibilities shared by other members of TelBru’s SNOC, comprising those from Brunei’s ICT community, researchers and general members of the public.
Furthermore, several mini exhibitions were also established to provide students with the opportunity to engage with TelBru personnel.
These exhibitions included awareness drives for several of TelBru’s services, ranging from Nationwide WiFi to residential FTTH connections, TelBru’s bootcamp for app development as well as a ‘Virtual Reality’ experience area made available to students.
Schools that wish to engage TelBru’s Smart Nation roadshows are encouraged to contact the company through its headquarters at Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Complex in the capital or TelBru’s various social media platforms.
