In Malaysia, U Mobile's ULTRA5G network has successfully blocked over 390 million scam attempts since its inception. The network, selected by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, integrates advanced network-level security features to combat rising cyber threats, particularly in the context of increasing digital transactions. As of January 2026, phone scams surged by 46%, resulting in financial losses of RM27 million. The ULTRA5G network employs built-in security functions to protect users from phishing SMS, fraudulent calls, and malicious websites without requiring user intervention. This proactive security model is essential as cybercriminals continuously evolve their tactics, making traditional security measures insufficient. U Mobile's approach includes voice and SMS firewalls and plans to introduce Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) to enhance user protection further. The network also boasts high-speed capabilities, reaching between 500Mbps and 1000Mbps.
