Barcelona, 26 February 2024 – CelcomDigi Berhad (CelcomDigi) and U Mobile Sdn Bhd (U Mobile) signed a partnership agreement to deliver enhanced mobile connectivity via sharing of a total of 100 Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) sites across Malaysia, with each party committing to 50 sites each.
Building on a long-standing practice in the industry to share network infrastructure for the benefits of Malaysian consumers, this collaboration enables both telcos to further expand their 4G LTE coverage and enhance their customers’ connectivity experience without incurring significant operational costs, resulting in greater efficiency.
The agreement was signed by Wong Heang Tuck, CEO of U Mobile and Datuk Idham Nawawi, CEO of CelcomDigi at the Malaysian Pavilion during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in Barcelona, Spain. The signing was witnessed by YB Fahmi Fadzil, Malaysian Minister of Communications.
“We have a strong legacy in infrastructure sharing, and we look forward to the benefits of this initiative to deliver improved 4G LTE coverage and connectivity for all Malaysians. Our organisations will also benefit from efficient network operations, allowing us to invest in other areas to improve our customers’ digital experiences,” said Datuk Idham Nawawi, CEO of CelcomDigi.
“U Mobile is always looking to further enhance our customers’ experience hence we believe this partnership is a step in the right direction. By sharing MOCN sites with CelcomDigi, we are able to elevate our customer’s experience efficiently as we are sharing the operational cost, be it deployment, maintenance or energy cost. Apart from that, we will also be optimising spectrum usage and network capacity,” said Wong Heang Tuck, CEO of U Mobile.
