Singtel now offers mobile customers a choice of SIM cards that are ready for its upcoming 5G standalone (SA) network, after it installed equipment at “hundreds” of sites across Singapore.
The country’s largest telecom operator said today that it had set up 5G SA sites at Orchard Road, the Central Business District, Harbourfront and Sentosa, while expanding indoor coverage at VivoCity, Ngee Ann City and selected Singtel shops across the island.
While the 5G SIM cards are symbolic for now – there are no commercial 5G SA networks in Singapore now – they do give impatient techies who want to be the first to experience 5G an option to get ready for the launch, which market watchers expect to be later this year.
