In order to speed up the deployment of the 5G system under the government’s two network design, U Mobile and Edotco have announced their strategic partnerships. The MoU affirms U Mobile’s commitment to a fast, powerful, and cost- successful deployment for the next 5G network by leveraging Edotco’s considerable tower footprint and expertise.

Under the MoU, Edotco may provide U Mobile with data and access to its castle facilities, tool eagerness, and expedited blog supply to help U Mobile’s 5G network implementation. Working with various state agencies, the parties will also work together to create a streamlined method to help identify the proper building locations and structures. This will enable faster and more effective webpage acquisition and permits.

This partnership will help new 5G sites have faster on-air time and increase policy more quickly. Moreover, the two parties will discuss professional arrangements for several infrastructure requirements, including built- to- suit sites, co- locations, site upgrades, and domestic coverage, with the goal of establishing a cost- efficient and competitive offering for fast rollout.

The collaboration was highlighted by Woon Ooi Yuen, U Mobile’s chief technology officer, who noted that” U Mobile is delighted to be able to use Edotco’s tower infrastructure footprint to accelerate implementation in line with the Indonesian government’s authority for two 5G systems to establish healthier competition in the telecommunications industry. This will make us more advantageous in deploying the second 5G network. We are eager to provide Malaysians with affordable, high-quality 5G services and to demonstrate the economic benefits that the technology will bring to the public, commercial, and private sectors.

Gayan Koralage, director of Malaysia Business at Edotco, said:” This partnership is indeed a pivotal step forward in accelerating Malaysia’s 5G future. We are working to improve connectivity across the country and establish Malaysia as the nation’s leader in 5G. We are the largest tower company in the country, and we are dedicated to working with MNOs to provide superior telecommunications solutions and influence the region’s future of connectivity.

Since its formation in 2012, U Mobile has been Edotco’s first non-Axiata commercial customer. The two have had a long-standing partnership that dates back more than ten years. U Mobile is currently completing a site consolidation plan that aims to improve aesthetics and lower network operating costs. It recently renewed its lease agreement with Edotco for another term. This will make 5G more widely available, making it even more important.
