Agreement Celebrates Strategic Utilisation of Resources to Accelerate Network Rollout. U Mobile, Malaysia’s most dynamic and innovative telco has partnered with edotco, Southeast Asia’s first independent communications infrastructure services company, to accelerate network rollout and improve customer experience. The collaboration seeks to provide timely and cost-effective solutions that will result in wider and stronger network coverage, enabling U Mobile customers to enjoy seamless and greater mobile experience on-the-go.
“This timely partnership is in line with U Mobile’s strategy to enhance its network quality and coverage, enabling U Mobile to grow and develop rapidly as a household brand. edotco’s expertise in network infrastructure will contribute greatly to this strategy. We certainly look forward to more collaboration in the future,” said Wong Heang Tuck, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of U Mobile Sdn Bhd.
The collaboration will see edotco leasing tower site space whilst providing power and site maintenance for the sites. This will enable U Mobile to expand its network reach expeditiously to more territories across the nation, bringing U Mobile’s high speed mobile internet experience closer to consumers. This is in line with the telco’s aim to enable customers to live connected with their friends and family, wherever they are.
edotco Group CEO James Maclaurin added, “The 10-year partnership affirms edotco’s drive to encourage network sharing and push to reduce parallel capacity and overall environmental impact of tower infrastructures within the nation. With the industry’s support, edotco will move ahead to drive initiatives such as energy management technologies and innovative engineering to realise improved operational and cost efficiencies and better serve our customers.”
Network sharing and leasing will mean greater efficiency to U Mobile, as well as the industry, and the environment as the infrastructure can be utilised and optimised to provide connectivity to the public, without having to build new towers and sites. U Mobile’s partnership with edotco is synonymous with the company’s efforts in building a long-lasting and reliable network solution that will best accommodate its end users.
Furthermore, the partnership also reduces the company’s CAPEX and OPEX used for site maintenance and management, so that more resources can be invested to provide more attractive product offerings to consumers.
This partnership is one of many collaborations U Mobile has embarked on for business and network expansion, as well as increased consumer engagement and avenues. In anticipation of a more challenging year ahead, U Mobile is set to be more proactive, innovative and strategic in expanding its product offerings, as well as the entire business.
