Up the ante: SingTel rolls out 300mbps 4G service

But don’t get too excited yet.

SingTel subscribers can now look forward to live 4G service with data speeds of up to 300Mbps, but full nationwide coverage won’t be until end of 2015.

The telecom giant unveiled its newest offering on Wednesday. The first live site at Singapore Expo is now ready for service, and more than half of the island will be covered by the end of the year.

All SingTel 4G customers with compatible devices will be able to enjoy the 300Mbps service at no additional charge. The first compatible device, the Huawei E5786 MiFi dongle, will be available from SingTel in mid-July. Smartphones and tablets are expected to be available soon after.

SingTel has also announced that its 4G roaming coverage is now available in China. The service is currently available for iPhone 5S and 5C smartphones, which are the only handsets that are compatible with the 4G mobile frequencies used by China Mobile. Other handsets will be supported in the coming months.

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.
