Singapore has enough telco capacity: IMDA

Demand surges as people begin working from home amidst the lockdown.

Singapore has sufficient telecommunications capacity to cope with the increase in demand, according to the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).

Nine in 10 Singapore households have fibre networks in their homes, and IMDA assured that the city-state’s fixed and mobile networks will have the bandwidth to cope with the demand, as network traffic has seen quite a surge since the start of the COVID-19 crisis

The surge in demand for home fibre broadband or mobile network services comes as most people start to work from home.

Schools and higher learning institutes have shifted to home-based learning, whilst preschools and student-care centres remain closed.

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.
