U Mobile, Malaysia’s second 5G network provider, has officially rolled out its ULTRA5G experience across Bangi, Putrajaya, and Petaling Jaya New Town. Residents and visitors in these townships can now enjoy uninterrupted access to U Mobile’s next-generation 5G network anywhere within these areas, promising faster speeds, lower latency, and enhanced connectivity.

As you should know, U Mobile is Malaysia's second 5G network provider. Recently, the company successfully secured a RM4.3 billion syndicated financing to fund the nationwide deployment of its next-generation 5G network.

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.

U Mobile has officially introduced U Home 5G Borneo, a new addition to its broadband portfolio tailored exclusively for customers in East Malaysia. Building on the success of its nationwide U Home 5G plan, this latest offering brings unlimited 5G data with no Fair Usage Policy (FUP), ensuring high-speed, fibre-like connectivity across Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan.

As U Mobile progresses with its ULTRA5G expansion, the company announced it has signed a 10-year strategic partnership with SACOFA Sdn Bhd, Sarawak’s leading telecommunications infrastructure company, to strengthen its fibre backhaul capabilities and expand the telco’s ULTRA5G network across the state.

Today, U Mobile has taken another big step in expanding Malaysia’s 5G footprint, announcing the arrival of its ULTRA5G experience at the prestigious Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur (MO). With support from digital infrastructure partner EDOTCO, the hotel has become the first in Malaysia to offer complete 5G coverage across every floor, setting a new benchmark for hospitality and digital innovation.

U Mobile is bringing next-gen connectivity to Malaysia’s biggest celebrations. Just in time for National Day and Sabah Day on 31 August 2025, the telco has activated its ULTRA5G network in Kota Kinabalu, delivering ultra-reliable performance to tens of thousands of attendees.

U Mobile has officially launched its next-generation 5G network—branded as ULTRA5G—marking a major milestone in Malaysia’s digital infrastructure evolution. Designed with professional use in mind, ULTRA5G promises ultra-reliable connectivity, enhanced indoor coverage, and enterprise-grade performance powered by the latest 5G Standalone (SA) architecture.

In preparation for its Next Gen 5G network, U Mobile has inked a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Melaka ICT Holdings Sdn Bhd (MICTH). The partnership is another step towards U Mobile’s goal of achieving 80% nationwide coverage of populated areas (CoPA) by the second half of 2026.

As U Mobile continues to build up its Next-Gen 5G network, the company has formalised a strategic partnership with OCK Telco Infra Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of OCK Group Berhad, Malaysia’s largest telecommunications network solutions provider. The collaboration led to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which positions OCK as one of U Mobile’s preferred partners for 5G In-Building Coverage (IBC) infrastructure.
