Is your office connected to the Next Gen NBN?

Is your office connected to the Next Gen NBN?

If the answer’s no, then you’re not among the over 19,000 commercial buildings and offices which already are.

According to the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore, some of the buildings that are already connected to Next Gen NBN include Suntec Office Towers, HarbourFront Centre, Shaw House and Shaw Centre.

IDA said occupants of Next Gen NBN connected buildings and offices can subscribe to more innovative and customised services that tap on the larger bandwidth offered over the network, on top of faster broadband speeds. According to IDA, improved productivity is expected.

The Fibre Ready! Mark for non-residential buildings will be rolled out to help occupants and the public identify which commercial buildings and offices are connected to the Next Gen NBN.

“Today, we have 12 service providers offering more than 40 fibre connection packages to cater for both residential and enterprise needs. However, not all enterprises are aware if their premises are fibre ready. With the Fibre Ready! Mark for buildings which have been connected to the Next Gen NBN, enterprises located in those buildings can be kept informed and therefore prepare their premises to be powered by Next Gen NBN,” said Mr Ronnie Tay, Chief Executive Officer of IDA.
