The company confirmed its first eight ecosystem partners, grouped into Anchor Partners and Technology Partners, to provide infrastructure, tools, and applied expertise for platform users.

Meanwhile, Technology Partners involved in this effort include Braintree Technologies, China Mobile International Malaysia, Meraque Group, and ZTE Malaysia, providing applied industry use cases, deployment experience, and network and AI platforms to support enterprise testing and validation.

The EIP Hub will provide a controlled environment with 5G-Advanced connectivity, cloud and edge access, IoT laboratories, private network zones, and demonstration areas, alongside simulation and digital twin tools to test and validate solutions in real-world conditions. U Mobile further stated that the platform is open to organizations regardless of existing customer status, and that additional partners are expected to join as the platform expands.
