5G connectivity now available on North East MRT line: Singtel

Commuters can enjoy uninterrupted 5G connection on and off trains.

Singapore’s 5G network has been installed at the underground North East Mass Rapid Transit line (NEL), the first for consumers, telecommunications firm, Singtel said.

In a statement, Singtel, Asia’s leading communications group, said the 5G network will allow commuters with Singtel plans to connect to a reliable and uninterrupted service on and off trains. The indoor coverage spans 300 locations Singapore-wide including all malls along NEL.

Even as putting up 5G connectivity on underground trains is challenging, Singtel said consumers can still use high-quality connectivity whether they are on online calls, streaming videos, or playing online games.

With this, Singtel will also conduct an awareness campaign called, “Make a date with 5G” along the NEL to inform commuters about the availability of 5G underground.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
