U Mobile has officially received the letter of award from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to deploy Malaysia’s latest 5G network. This follows the government's announcement in November 2024 granting U Mobile the second nationwide 5G license as part of its transition to a dual-network model.
Wong Heang Tuck, CEO of U Mobile, said, “U Mobile is honored by the trust placed in us by the government and MCMC to implement Malaysia’s newest 5G network. This mandate allows us to play a pivotal role in advancing Malaysia’s digital economy by delivering an enterprise-grade, next-gen 5G network. We are committed to driving 5G adoption and supporting the nation’s ambition of becoming a high-income digital leader.”
