U Mobile teams up with Pavilion to improve indoor 5G across its malls and hotels
U Mobile has announced that it is partnering with Pavilion Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) to enable more 5G in-building coverage across the latter’s commercial and lifestyle destinations in Kuala Lumpur.
The rollout will cover some of Pavilion REIT’s most high-traffic commercial locations, such as Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Pavilion Hotel Kuala Lumpur, Pavilion Tower, Pavilion Elite, Intermark Mall, Pavilion Bukit Jalil and Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur.
This partnership will see U Mobile deploy and manage its 5G-Advanced (5G-A) in-building coverage system across these locations, with the goal of improving network performance across high-traffic retail, office and hospitality environments where a reliable connection is needed.
The telco adds that their IBC system is designed to support multiple mobile network operators, regardless of their service provider. They will also be working with Pavilion REIT to explore 5G-A use cases to support the digitalisation of their building operations. This includes areas such as security monitoring, smart sensors and parking solutions, with Pavilion REIT looking to operate its properties more efficiently.
“U Mobile’s approach to ULTRA5G deployment goes beyond just outdoor coverage. We also believe in prioritising deep in-building coverage to ensure that customers experience seamless, high- performance connectivity wherever they are whether indoors or outdoors.
This allows us to support not just everyday usage, but also more advanced, business-critical applications that require consistency, reliability and scale,” – Woon Ooi Yuen, U Mobile Chief Technology Officer
Pavilion REIT CEO Dato’ Phillip Ho also added that they’re committed to continuously enhance the quality of their properties through technology that improves not just their efficiency but also the overall visitor experience. Their collaboration will allow then to strengthen in-building connectivity across their assets, complementing the broader 5G ecosystem within their properties.
