U Mobile has announced that its ULTRA5G network now covers 90% of populated areas nationwide, achieving its July 2027 rollout target more than nine months ahead of schedule. As a result, it claims to be Malaysia’s widest 5G network.

The milestone comes after U Mobile surpassed 80% 5G Coverage of Populated Areas (CoPA) in March 2026, less than nine months after it began rolling out its own 5G network. In April 2026, it achieved 82.9% 5G population coverage with 6,737 5G sites.

The orange telco announced that it had exceeded 85% 5G population coverage in July after its exit from Digital Nasional Berhad.
