A few hours ago, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil provided new insights into the progress of Malaysia’s second 5G network during a briefing with U Mobile. According to the minister, 5G deployment in Malaysia continues to accelerate, with operators now overlaying the new network infrastructure onto existing 4G infrastructure to achieve faster and more stable connection upgrades.

U Mobile, Malaysia’s newest 5G network provider, has inked a five-year wholesale access agreement with Eastel, a new Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) under Anchor Communications, set to debut in Q1 2026. This landmark partnership marks U Mobile’s first-ever 5G and 4G wholesale deal, paving the way for more collaborative opportunities in Malaysia’s fast-evolving telecommunications sector.
