5G connectivity now available on North East MRT line: Singtel

Commuters can enjoy uninterrupted 5G connection on and off trains.

Singapore’s 5G network has been installed at the underground North East Mass Rapid Transit line (NEL), the first for consumers, telecommunications firm, Singtel said.

In a statement, Singtel, Asia’s leading communications group, said the 5G network will allow commuters with Singtel plans to connect to a reliable and uninterrupted service on and off trains. The indoor coverage spans 300 locations Singapore-wide including all malls along NEL.

Even as putting up 5G connectivity on underground trains is challenging, Singtel said consumers can still use high-quality connectivity whether they are on online calls, streaming videos, or playing online games.

With this, Singtel will also conduct an awareness campaign called, “Make a date with 5G” along the NEL to inform commuters about the availability of 5G underground.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
