FAQ: Connectivity for Conservation at Al-Sultan Abdullah Royal Tiger Reserve

It is a first-of-its-kind initiative that uses satellite and off-grid solar technology to provide connectivity and power to remote areas of the Al-Sultan Abdullah Royal Tiger Reserve, enabling real-time communication and coordination for tiger conservation efforts.

The project is implemented by EdgePoint Towers Sdn Bhd in partnership with the Pahang State Parks Corporation (PTNP), The Habitat Foundation (THF), and Enggang Management Services (EMS) Sdn. Bhd., the service operator of the tiger reserve.

The project is located at the Al-Sultan Abdullah Royal Tiger Reserve in Ulu Tembeling, Jerantut, Pahang, Malaysia, which features remote and dense rainforest terrain.

The Malayan Tiger is critically endangered with only about 150 remaining in the wild in Malaysia, making innovative technology-driven approaches essential for protecting the species from extinction.

The solution uses Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology combined with off-grid solar and battery systems to provide reliable connectivity and power to manned guard posts and camp sites in areas without traditional infrastructure.

It enables real-time coordination and communication for rangers and researchers, supports incident reporting and emergency response protocols, enhances anti-poaching efforts, improves patroller safety, and strengthens overall park management.

Previously, conservation teams depended primarily on satellite phones only, whereas this new solution provides enhanced connectivity that enables better communications and data sharing in the deep forest.

It addresses operational constraints such as difficult terrain, unpredictable weather, limited fuel supply, power access issues, and the need for minimal on-site intervention while ensuring optimal equipment performance.

The project was announced on November 26, 2025, and has been successfully deployed at the Al-Sultan Abdullah Royal Tiger Reserve.

This project is part of EdgePoint's Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitment, demonstrating how corporate expertise in connectivity and infrastructure can contribute to biodiversity protection and sustainable development.
