Nokia To Develop Singapore’s First 5G Network

SP Telecom is providing its existing fibre network for integration with Nokia’s new FP4-based service router, optical transport, cloud software solutions, service automation and network orchestration application suite.

The network is expected to be operational in 2020 to enable fixed and 5G carriers to deploy cloud-based virtual private network and 5G offerings for the government and enterprise customers.

The two have also launched an Innovation Hub and Innovation Lab for customers to experience and test the new intelligent data fibre network.

Titus Yong, CEO of SP Telecom, said:  “SP Telecom constantly looks for new ways to bring the latest technologies and best-in-class partners together, developing solutions that can generate new and positive changes in the industry.

“We are well poised to facilitate the rollout of 5G network in Singapore, working closely with our technology partners to deliver a reliable, high-performance and seamless network for 5G players and their customers.”

“Nokia is proud to be the technology partner with SP Telecom to embark on the digital journey to becoming a digital service provider. The Nokia solutions deliver a dynamic, highly scalable network for Cloud, Ultra-Broadband and IoT services in our partnership with SP Telecom.”―Smart Energy International
