KUALA LUMPUR: Exchange 106, the landmark skyscraper at the heart of the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) International Financial Centre, is set to redefine next-generation corporate infrastructure through a strategic collaboration with U Mobile and EdgePoint Towers Sdn Bhd.
Targeted to go live in phases starting Q4 2026, this project will position Exchange 106 as Malaysia’s first fully 5G-enabled supertall skyscraper.
Standing at 454 metres, the tower will feature purpose-built In-Building Coverage (IBC) infrastructure spanning 453,885 sqm, designed to support high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for corporate tenants and businesses.
Exchange 106 CEO, Faris Najhan Hashim said: “Our tenants are scaling their digital operations, relying heavily on cloud computing, real-time data analytics, and IoT ecosystems.
“By embedding 5G infrastructure into the very fabric of the building, we are future-proofing the workplace.
“This strategic partnership ensures that Exchange 106 remains a premier address for businesses that demand seamless, high-capacity connectivity to drive productivity and innovation.”
As the provider of the 5G network, U Mobile will deliver its ULTRA5G capabilities to the development.
This partnership underscores U Mobile’s commitment to powering enterprise-grade solutions in high-density environments.
U Mobile chief technology officer Woon Ooi Yuen said: “Exchange 106 is home to businesses that rely on fast and reliable connectivity for their day-to-day operations.
“By bringing our ULTRA5G network to the building, we are enabling stronger indoor connectivity while providing the foundation for digital applications such as smart parking, access control and IoT.
“This collaboration demonstrates our capability to support the digital transformation of large-scale enterprises.”

At Exchange 106, he added, their purpose-built IBC solution has been designed around the scale, complexity and anticipated population density of the tower to meet the growing connectivity requirements of enterprise users.
The collaboration further strengthens Exchange 106’s position as a leading corporate address and enhances its proposition for companies seeking a future-ready location for their offices and headquarters.
