Singtel to roll out 1Gbps mobile peak speed

Users can enjoy up to 20% faster mobile broadband speed starting 2H2018.

Singtel reported that it has achieved world’s first 1Gbps mobile peak speed on Ericsson’s quad-band FDD/TDD Carrier Aggregation (CA) technology, which aims to optimise customer mobile experience.

“Existing Singtel smartphone users can enjoy, up to 20% faster mobile broadband speeds on average, as Singtel deploys Ericsson’s intelligent technology Bandwidth-Aware CA feature. This feature allows operators to manage spectrum more efficiently and supports customers’ smartphones to automatically select the best spectrum band combination available, enabling optimum speeds,” Singtel said.

The new technology will also enable Singtel to use its newly acquired 2500 MHz spectrum band.

Singtel will unveil the technology on 2H2018 at high traffic locations, including Orchard Road, Raffles Place, Tanjong Pagar and Clarke Quay.

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.
