KUALA LUMPUR, Feb. 25 -- Maxis says it has rolled out a new AI-powered network firewall designed to strengthen protection against scam calls and SMS. The system has been operational since January 2026 and screens both international voice and SMS traffic entering Malaysia. This means unwanted calls and messages will be blocked on the network before it reaches the customer.

According to Maxis, the end-to-end service uses artificial intelligence to provide 24/7 monitoring and continuous traffic analysis. It is designed to detect and neutralise threats in real time, intercepting them before they reach users.

The enhanced protection measures are enabled at no additional cost to customers.
