U Mobile, the award-winning mobile and digital services provider, and ZTE Corporation, a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the deployment of a second 5G network, and also to explore the evolution towards future RAN technology including 5G-Advanced (5G-A). This strategic MoU will further strengthen U Mobile’s position to deliver high quality 5G and 5G-A experiences, benefitting all markets but especially enterprises who require ultra-fast speeds and high reliability.

With ZTE’s technology and expertise, U Mobile will deploy state-of-the-art hardware and software for a high performance and efficient second 5G network. U Mobile will also continue to work with ZTE on various research & development (R&D) initiatives beyond 5G, looking at the evolution towards 5G-A, 6G and future technologies to support consumer and various enterprise demands.

In terms of end-to-end support, both parties will continue to collaborate on network design, planning, rollout, operations and optimising second 5G network deployment. Recognising the investment required for 5G deployment, the strategic partners will jointly evaluate and seek innovative financing solutions to ensure a model that facilities rapid technology rollout and cost efficiency.

“U Mobile’s latest partnership with ZTE represents another milestone in our journey to bring affordable, high-quality 5G services and solutions to Malaysians. We believe ZTE’s cutting-edge technologies and global insights will enable us to build a second 5G network promptly and efficiently, while preparing our network for future technologies designed to fulfil the needs of consumers and enterprises. This collaboration embodies our commitment to providing Malaysians with superior connectivity, fostering innovation, and driving economic growth through advanced digital infrastructure,” said Woon Ooi Yuen, Chief Technology Officer at U Mobile.

Steven Ge, Managing Director of ZTE Malaysia, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration. “As a trusted partner of U Mobile, we look forward to supporting U Mobile in building 5G RAN transmission and 5G-Advanced. We are bringing in our latest technologies such as universal intelligence, deterministic capability, integrated sensing and communication to build a network for consumers and also for businesses, empowering a digital economy here in Malaysia.”

This partnership builds upon U Mobile’s previous collaborations with ZTE, which included joint efforts in enhancing 5G and 5G-Advanced technology, Containerisation and Autonomous Network initiatives, as well as 5G Adoption for businesses. This history of successful cooperation provides a strong foundation for U Mobile’s ambitious plans to roll out Malaysia’s second 5G network.
