Exchange 106 is set to be the first skyscraper with full 5G connectivity in-building coverage. Targeted to go live in phases starting Q4 2026, this project will position the building as Malaysia’s first fully 5G-enabled supertall skyscraper according to EdgePoint and U Mobile.
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.
Faris Najhan Hashim, Chief Executive Officer of Exchange 106, emphasised that connectivity is no longer a luxury but a necessity for modern enterprise. “Our tenants are scaling their digital operations, relying heavily on cloud computing, real-time data analytics, and IoT ecosystems,” said Faris. “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.”
EdgePoint Towers Sdn Bhd has been appointed to design and deploy the complex IBC infrastructure required to make this vision a reality. With over 900 antennas planned across all floors, including lifts and car parks, the solution is engineered to handle the tower’s unique scale and population density.
Exchange 106 houses many international and financial businesses, with Affin Bank and HSBC located next to the building.
