**U Mobile and Huawei Malaysia Collaborate to Launch Enterprise Innovation Platform for 5G and AI Solutions**
U Mobile, Malaysia’s newest 5G network provider, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Huawei Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Huawei Malaysia) to establish its Enterprise Innovation Platform (EIP). Huawei Malaysia will serve as one of U Mobile’s strategic technology partners in this initiative.
In a joint statement, both parties explained that the EIP will function as a 5G-Advanced (5G-A) and AI innovation lab or sandbox. The platform aims to bring together end-to-end ecosystem partners and technology expertise to drive the adoption and innovation of enterprise use cases leveraging next-generation technologies.
U Mobile will benefit from Huawei Malaysia’s extensive technical expertise and services to design and integrate comprehensive network architectures. This collaboration will facilitate solutions development, pilot projects, and proof-of-concept activities, drawing upon Huawei’s experience in its 5G-to-business, 5G-to-consumer, and 5G-to-home segments.
The partnership will also explore smart monetisation initiatives powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to enhance customer experience. Through the EIP, both companies plan to foster a rich innovation ecosystem by sharing industry knowledge, global best practices, and validated business cases.
Furthermore, they will support startups and early-stage ventures by providing funding, incubation support, and technical enablement. This holistic approach aims to accelerate enterprise 5G adoption and digital transformation in Malaysia.
To promote awareness and collaboration across industries, U Mobile and Huawei Malaysia will organise various programs through the EIP, including technology demonstrations, seminars, exhibitions, roadshows, and digital campaigns.
Woon Ooi Yuen, Chief Technology Officer of U Mobile, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration:
*”We are pleased to partner with Huawei Malaysia as a strategic technology partner to establish our EIP.

This recognises our strengths in 5G-Advanced and AI integration. We are also a global leader in research and development and look forward to leveraging our expertise and ecosystem of partners to support innovation in Malaysia.”*
