吉隆坡，2011年3月15日，马来西亚运营商U Mobile宣布选择中兴通讯为其在马来主要城市建设HSPA+/LTE网络。U Mobile总裁Kaizad Heerjee、中兴通讯亚太区总裁郑邦在巨大的中国传统的宣纸上郑重签约，颇具中国特色。马来西亚新闻、通讯及文化部部长Dato’ Seri Utama Dr. Rais Yatim，中国驻马来西亚大使柴玺见证了签约仪式。
按照合同约定，中兴通讯将帮助U Mobile在2011年第二季度扩展其在马来西亚中部及北部地区的42Mbps的无线网络，在未来的12个月内扩展至84Mbps，并将在不久的将来升级到覆盖马来西亚、下载速率达100Mbps的LTE网络。此前，双方已经成功进行了LTE测试，在技术、设备和对公众的服务支持上已经做好了准备。马来西亚政府提出“以持续提高全国宽带接入为主要增长动力”的第10个及第11个经济转型计划（ETP），马来西亚无线宽带应用日趋普及，U Mobile此次大规模无线宽带部署适逢其时。
U Mobile总裁Kaizad Heerjee表示：“引入此张网络的战略性原动力在于，U Mobile希望能成为马来西亚高速增长的移动数据市场最主流的弄潮儿，U Mobile非常高兴与中兴通讯展开战略合作，共同扩展我们的3G高速网络，从中心区域开始覆盖马来其它的主要城市和地区。我们将与中兴通讯一起提供最高速的移动宽带服务，造福我们的顾客。”
