Singaporean carrier Singtel and Ericsson announced plans to launch what it claims to be Singapore’s first 5G pilot network in the last quarter of the year. The two companies said that the 5G pilot network will be deployed at the One-North district in Buona Vista, which is the country’s science, business and IT hub.
Using Ericsson’s 3GPP standard-compliant 5G technology with the trial spectrum allocated by Singapore’s Info-Communications Media Development Authority (IMDA), the 5G pilot network will deliver 5G coverage with enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) speed and low latency communications, the two companies said.
