Singaporean telco StarHub said its outdoor 5G network has achieved over 99% coverage nearly four years after the carrier introduced 5G technology.
In 2020, StarHub’s 5G service only had 50% of network coverage across the country.
Talking about the coverage milestone, StarHub’s chief executive officer Nikhil Eapean said the telco will continue to provide Singaporeans with fast and reliable connectivity and even greater network coverage.
In April of 2020, Singtel and a joint venture between StarHub Mobile and M1 had secured licenses to build two nationwide standalone (SA) 5G networks in Singapore. The winners were each allocated 100 megahertz of spectrum in the 3.5 GHz band.
Last year, StarHub embarked upon a multi-cloud network transformation project to boost the delivery, scalability, and performance of its mobile, broadband, and entertainment services. AWS, Google Cloud, NAVER Cloud, and Nokia had been appointed for support in this initiative. The project was dubbed Cloud Infinity and will deliver a “low-latency” and “simplified” architecture for more dynamic telecoms services, the telco said.
