U Mobile & TIME Form Strategic Partnership to Strengthen 5G Rollout Across Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur, – U Mobile and TIME dotCom have entered a strategic partnership to support the accelerated rollout of U Mobile’s 5G network under the government’s dual network model. Through this collaboration, U Mobile will leverage TIME’s extensive fibre backhaul infrastructure to ensure a high-performance 5G network that is reliable, resilient, and capable of delivering ultra-fast speeds with massive capacity.

Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), both companies will jointly develop customised backhaul solutions aligned with U Mobile’s 5G deployment strategy. They will also work on integration processes to maximise network compatibility and deliver a superior experience for consumers, enterprises, and public sectors.

Beyond technical collaboration, U Mobile and TIME plan to explore initiatives showcasing 5G use cases across various industries to encourage wider adoption and highlight the transformative potential of 5G technology.

U Mobile CTO Woon Ooi Yuen said this partnership strengthens U Mobile’s ability to expand 5G coverage nationwide and support critical applications such as automation and IoT. TIME EVP Ganesh Sivasamboo highlighted that TIME’s MEF 3.0-certified network is built to handle the demands of next-generation 5G connectivity.

Currently, U Mobile already utilises TIME’s fibre network to expand its U Home Fibre coverage to over one million additional homes, particularly high-rise buildings along the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
