StarHub, NUS partner to build SG's first 'Borderless University' with 5G tech

Starhub will provide an ultra-fast, low-latency connection for demanding applications.

StarHub and the National University Singapore (NUS) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to build the nation's first “Borderless University” by developing a state-of-the-art digital infrastructure that provides ultra-fast and uninterrupted connectivity.

The initiative will enhance the learning experience of NUS students by utilising Starhub’s Enterprise 5G technology for teaching and research.

The partnership will also facilitate the exchange of expertise, industry knowledge, and valuable insights, benefiting both parties.

Enterprise 5G will offer ultra-fast, low-latency connections that support applications like virtual and augmented reality and real-time data analytics. Starhub will set up a private dedicated data network for NUS, enabling students to connect via eSIM technology.

Students and staff only need to register and activate their eSIM with a simple QR code scan to be connected instantly.
