In mid-December 2020, Singtel announced its partnership with networking and communications company Ericsson to deploy high-end 5G technology. This energy efficient 5G network, enabled by 5G New Radio (NR) Standalone and dual-mode 5G core network products and solutions, will operate on Singtel’s spectrum bands and include outdoor and indoor coverage, as well as in hotspots across the country.
This 5G partnership continues to enhance the partnership between Singtel and Ericsson amidst the gathering pace of Industry 4.0, ensuring that residents, enterprises, industry and government authorities in Singapore will be among the first to benefit from the highest performance that 5G can offer and ensuring that Singapore remains at the cutting edge of technology innovation. It can be used in various applications such as immersive virtual reality/augmented reality, robot-human collaboration in real-time, autonomous transport, remote healthcare and precision smart manufacturing, among others, solidifying its position as the world’s most competitive economy, a position it has held since 2019.
