Singtel to roll out 1Gbps mobile peak speed

Users can enjoy up to 20% faster mobile broadband speed starting 2H2018.

Singtel reported that it has achieved world’s first 1Gbps mobile peak speed on Ericsson’s quad-band FDD/TDD Carrier Aggregation (CA) technology, which aims to optimise customer mobile experience.

“Existing Singtel smartphone users can enjoy, up to 20% faster mobile broadband speeds on average, as Singtel deploys Ericsson’s intelligent technology Bandwidth-Aware CA feature. This feature allows operators to manage spectrum more efficiently and supports customers’ smartphones to automatically select the best spectrum band combination available, enabling optimum speeds,” Singtel said.

The new technology will also enable Singtel to use its newly acquired 2500 MHz spectrum band.

Singtel will unveil the technology on 2H2018 at high traffic locations, including Orchard Road, Raffles Place, Tanjong Pagar and Clarke Quay.
