CelcomDigi and U Mobile to share infrastructure

11 March 2024

CelcomDigi and U Mobile have signed a partnership agreement to deliver enhanced mobile connectivity via the sharing of a total of 100 Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) sites across Malaysia, with each party committing to 50 sites each.

The collaboration is expected to enable both operators to expand their 4G LTE coverage. This will enable both telcos to enhance their customers’ connectivity experience without incurring significant operational costs, resulting in greater efficiency.

"We have a strong legacy in infrastructure sharing, and we look forward to the benefits of this initiative to deliver improved 4G LTE coverage and connectivity for all Malaysians. Our organizations will also benefit from efficient network operations, allowing us to invest in other areas to improve our customers’ digital experiences," said CelcomDigi in a statement.

"By sharing MOCN sites with CelcomDigi, we are able to elevate our customers' experience efficiently as we are sharing the operational cost, be it deployment, maintenance, or energy cost. Apart from that, we will also be optimizing spectrum usage and network capacity," said U Mobile in a release.
