Kuala Lumpur, 10 December 2025 – U Mobile, Malaysia’s newest 5G network provider, has entered into its largest In-Building Coverage (IBC) deployment partnership in terms of buildings to date with a single group, IGB Berhad (IGB). Under this collaboration, U Mobile will roll out its next generation 5G network across 20 IGB properties in the country, including iconic malls such as Mid Valley Megamall, The Gardens Mall in Kuala Lumpur, and The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey in Johor Bahru. IGB owns and manages an extensive portfolio of malls, offices, hotels and residential developments nationwide. The 20 IBC sites account for more than 70% of its high-traffic locations spanning retail, commercial, and hospitality segments in Malaysia.

Once deployed, IGB will be able to reap the benefits of seamless 5G connectivity to improve building management and operations, as well as enhance the digital experience for its tenants and customers. The availability of 5G throughout these 20 IGB properties unlocks the potential of solutions that enhance building efficiency, security as well as provide richer visitor experiences such as AR/VR shopping and personalised promotions. To realise these benefits, U Mobile and IGB will work closely to develop use cases to demonstrate how advanced 5G capabilities can support next generation smart buildings.

This partnership will also see U Mobile provide 5G indoor access in these buildings to other telcos so that their respective customers will also be able to enjoy seamless, high-speed mobile connectivity indoor throughout the various IGB properties.

“U Mobile has been aggressively expanding our next generation 5G network coverage as we understand how important it is for users to enjoy the same speed, security and services offered by our network, not just outdoors but also indoors. We are delighted that IGB has placed their faith in our advanced 5G network and see benefit in how it will improve their building operations and management, as well as enhance the digital experiences of the diverse communities who live, work and play in these buildings. In line with our commitment to supporting Malaysia’s broader digital progress, we will also make our 5G indoor coverage available to other telcos, as we believe their respective customers will also desire to have the same kind of ULTRA5G experience provided by our next generation network. This collaboration is just the beginning of more network deployment partnerships, both indoor and outdoor, that we will drive across various sectors in the months ahead,” said Kenneth Chang, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of U Mobile.

“At IGB, we are committed to enhancing the value and operational excellence of our properties to continually better serve our tenants, customers and visitors. This partnership with U Mobile to deploy their advanced 5Gnetwork to enhance indoor coverage is a strategic move that not only future-proofs our assets across the retail, commercial and hospitality segments but also sets us in the right direction in aligning our businesses with Malaysia’s digital transformation agenda. This collaboration marks a major milestone in ensuring the best possible connected experience in our properties, which is now a fundamental expectation across world-class developments,” said Tan Mei Sian, Deputy Group Chief Executive Officer of IGB Berhad.
