Singapore's SingTel and Ericsson have shown off their LTE trial showcase at SingTel's headquarters, Comcentre. SingTel's mobile broadband network will be upgraded progressively over the next 12 - 24 months to be LTE-ready. Commercial deployment is slated to take place in phases, subject to the availability of frequency spectrum and commercial LTE mobile devices.
Mr Yuen Kuan Moon, Executive Vice President of Consumer, SingTel, said: "This trial gives a glimpse into what the future can offer our customers in the mobile broadband space. We are excited by the breakthrough applications that will be supported on an ultra high-speed and robust mobile network that is able to satisfy consumers' growing appetite for bandwidth.
"LTE technology will further enrich our customers' multimedia mobile lifestyle and experience, offering them access to a wide range of 3D and HD services concurrently. SingTel is working closely with our pool of mobile applications developers to turn ideas that work on the latest technology into reality."
Mr Fadi Pharaon, President and Country Manager, Ericsson Singapore & Brunei, said: "Today's demonstration is one clear example of how LTE enables richer lifestyle for consumers and businesses alike. Ericsson is proud to be part of this exciting showcase and we will continue to use our leading technology and services to support SingTel in offering even higher quality services and more extensive applications to their customers."
