Singtel says it has reached more than 95% 5G coverage nationwide

Singtel said on Friday (Jul 22) that it has achieved more than 95 per cent standalone 5G coverage across Singapore, three years ahead of the regulatory target of end-2025. Its 5G network now covers more than 1,300 outdoor locations and provides signal in about 400 buildings as well as places undergound. The fifth generation of high-speed mobile Internet, 5G promises surfing speeds 20 times faster than what’s offered by 4G networks. Singtel and a joint venture by StarHub and M1 were issued final awards in June 2020 to operate 5G networks in Singapore, allowing them to deploy nationwide standalone networks that deliver full-fledged 5G capabilities.
