About Us

Celcom Timur (Sabah) Sdn. Bhd. ("CT Sabah") was established as a joint venture company with the purpose of providing fibre optic transmission services in Sabah.

In tandem with its main business in providing the physical fibre cable transmission service primarily to telecommunication network operators, CT Sabah had completed its trunk fibre optic network in Sabah, including submarine cables, making it the only company currently having a comprehensive trunk fibre network in Sabah. The fibre optic network spans from Labuan to Tawau.

As CT Sabah continues to evolve and expand its role in shaping Sabah’s digital infrastructure, we are proud to announce that a refreshed brand identity will be unveiled soon. This new identity reflects our commitment to progress, resilience, and innovation, while honouring the legacy that has been built together with our employees, partners, and the communities we serve. Stay tuned as we step into a new chapter; stronger, bolder, and future-ready with a refreshed purpose, vision and values!
