Singtel and Ericsson launching Singapore’s first 5G pilot network

SINGAPORE (July 23): Singtel and Ericsson will launch Singapore’s first 5G pilot network at one-north by the fourth quarter of this year.

With speeds that are 10 times faster average speeds than prevailing 4G rates, 5G will enable the transmission of terabytes of data in minutes and 4K video downloads in seconds.

Using Ericsson’s 3GPP standards-compliant 5G technology with the trial spectrum allocated by Info-Communications Media Development Authority (IMDA), the pilot network can deliver 5G coverage with enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) speed and low latency communications.
