Kuala Lumpur, 12 August 2024 – U Mobile, the award-winning mobile and digital services provider, and Huawei Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Huawei Malaysia), a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to support the telco’s 5G strategic roadmap. It will see U Mobile tap into Huawei Malaysia’s global expertise for 5G network enhancements and evolution to future technologies. Both parties will also intensify research and development for better 5G customer satisfaction to increase adoption by both consumer and enterprise markets.
As part of the collaboration, U Mobile will work with Huawei Malaysia to deploy the most up-to-date hardware and software to achieve the most efficient and high performance second 5G network for Malaysia. Additionally, U Mobile will leverage Huawei Malaysia’s technical expertise to deploy future RAN technologies.
The telco is also looking to Huawei Malaysia to share their global expertise and extensive research and development (R&D) findings in order to collaborate on adopting advanced technologies to support market needs, particularly those of enterprises who have ultra low latency and massive bandwidth requirements. On top of that, both parties will explore opportunities for project financing, including options like vendor financing or deferred payment plans.
“U Mobile is delighted to receive Huawei Malaysia’s support for the deployment of the second 5G network. As long-term partners, we have benefitted from Huawei Malaysia’s technologies and global expertise and we believe they will continue to play a critical role in helping us improve 5G experience and also in our preparations to deploy future RAN technologies. This will help us ensure that our infrastructure is capable of supporting rapidly evolving and high performance needs, particularly from enterprises,” said Woon Ooi Yuen, Chief Technology Officer at U Mobile.
“Huawei Malaysia looks forward to supporting U Mobile in their future developments. We want to set the stage for a better and more connected future. Our ultimate goal is to bridge the digital divide, and bring digital to every person, home and organisation. We will continue to promote the growth of our core solutions to help operators like U Mobile fast-track the development of telecom services and unlock greater business success,” said Zac Chow, Huawei Malaysia’s Vice President of the Carrier Network Business Group.
This partnership is yet another collaboration milestone for U Mobile and Huawei as early this year both parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding to cooperate strategically in 5G Innovation technology and 5G to Business (5G-to-B) to accelerate 5G adoption for businesses. This laid the groundwork for the current, more extensive partnership, demonstrating both companies’ dedication to advancing Malaysia’s telecommunications infrastructure and capabilities.
