Partnership for Enhanced Connectivity

This will enable both telcos to enhance their customers’ connectivity experience without incurring significant operational costs, resulting in greater efficiency, the joint statement said.

“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.

“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.
