CelcomDigi Berhad (CelcomDigi), China Unicom Operations (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (CUMY) and Huawei Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Huawei Malaysia) have formed an alliance to deliver digitalisation needs of Malaysian enterprises with Intelligent Digital 5GtoB
solutions.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by Datuk Idham Nawawi, CEO of CelcomDigi, Li Zehui, General Manager of CUMY and Simon Sun, CEO of Huawei Malaysia, witnessed by Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) chairman, Tan Sri Mohamad Salim Fateh Din, and CelcomDigi’s chair of the board, YM Tengku Dato’ Sri Azmil Zahruddin, at the Mobile World Congress 2024 in Barcelona, Spain.
The three-party MoU further enhances existing cooperative arrangements to boost economic ties with China, following China’s commitment in 2023 to invest a record RM170 billion in Malaysia over five years.
Through the strategic partnership, CelcomDigi will leverage China Unicom’s existing ecosystem of China-Malaysia-based companies and provide private network connectivity services via the integration of CelcomDigi and Huawei solutions in 5G network access, 5G core network (5GC) and Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC).
Meanwhile, CUMY’s role in the collaboration will focus on relationship management between Chinese enterprises and CelcomDigi, as well as to function as system integrators responsible for the integration, operations, services, and maintenance of projects. Ensuring the smooth implementation of customer requirements and scope are key aspects of CUMY’s role in the tie-up.
Huawei Malaysia will leverage its cutting-edge 5G products and solutions as well as its existing digital platforms to explore project opportunities with CelcomDigi and China Unicom.
