The university now have a mobile application that show lecture timetables, bus schedules, campus navigation, examination result, and announcement. The campus has also implemented cashless payment through e-wallet system.

Besides these, UNITEN plans on creating a micro smart-grid that will also allow the university to generate its own electricity using solar panels. This will also help reduce carbon footprint inside the campus.
