Singapore launches 5G, selecting Nokia, Ericsson as the main partner
Singtel signed a deal with Ericsson, while StarHub and M1 chose to accompany Nokia to build the main 5G infrastructure. However, all three Mobile network providers said they still cooperate with Huawei and ZTE in some certain cases.
Singapore is in the process of preparing to deploy a 5G network nationwide after having completed legal procedures and license auctions. Infocomm Media Development Agency (IMDA) has donated 40 million SGD to support the efforts of researching, developing and promoting 5G applications.
According to Minister of Communications and Information S. Iswaran, Singapore aims to reach 5G nationwide coverage by 2025. In 2019, it announces initiatives to accelerate 5G development and application, including the amount of 40 million SGD to support the ecosystem.
Three Singapore Mobile network providers said that 5G networks would bring faster data rates, lower latency, and new digital services like virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence applications, and IoT.
SingTel and the alliance between M1 and StarHub are allocated a spectrum of 100MHz bandwidth in 3.5GHz band to deploy 5G nationwide. In addition, they are granted 800MHz in the mmWave frequency band.
The three providers are expected to deploy independent 5G networks from January 2021 and are required to cover at least half of Singapore before the end of 2022.
