Check out what airYotta has to offer as the fourth telco

It eyes rolling out a 4.5G network.

It may seem like MyRepublic and TPG Telecom already have the upperhand in the fight to becoming the fourth telco operator in the city-state, but newcomer airYotta has a few tricks up its sleeves that can shake up the competition.

In a statement, airYotta said it is planning to unveil Singapore's first 4.5G LTE Advanced Pro network.

This, the group claims, will have an architecture common to 5G and would be a critical turning point in Singapore's journey towards a 5G world.

AirYotta Chief Technology Officer Philip Heah said the company aims to address the disconnect between demand and supply of mobile data capacity in Singapore.

"The mobile industry is facing major disconnect, exacerbated by video-streaming, new applications and Internet of Things," he stated.

He added, "airYotta is a response to this insatiable demand for data, and will allow Singapore to realise its Smart Nation vision."

He will work hand-in-hand with airYotta's Chief Executive Michael DeNoma, former CEO of Global Consumer Bank Standard Chartered.

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.
