Singtel to deploy near-gigabit mobile data speeds

This will be available at selected locations.

Singtel will be launching near-gigabit speeds on its LTE Advanced network at selected high-traffic outdoor locations across the island, starting with Orchard Road.

At 800Mbps, it is Southeast Asia’s fastest gigabit-class LTE mobile data peak speed, delivering up to 60% faster download speeds than prevailing LTE services.

The near-gigabit transmission speeds are achieved by scaling pre-5G technology solutions, 4x4 multiple-input multiple-output (4x4 MIMO) and 256 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), coupled with triple carrier aggregation of spectrum exclusive to Singtel.

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.
