IMDA's 4 5G open testbeds serve as access points for businesses

It aims to allow businesses to develop 5G solutions in different industries.

The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) announced that all businesses will have access to four 5G open testbeds.

These testbeds will be located at the Maritime Drone Estate (MDE), Singapore Science Park, PIXEL, and Sentosa. The aim of the initiative is to allow businesses of different sizes, industries, and technology readiness levels to develop 5G solutions in different industries.

Lew Chuen Hong, CE, IMDA, has said that this was the next step from the early success with the 5G pilots. This would mean the acceleration of the adoption and commercialisation of the technology.

The IMDA also partnered with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore and CapitaLand Investment to help increase the availability of 5G to all businesses at the Maritime Drone Estate and Singapore Science Park.

These testbeds would also have their own areas of focus available to businesses, such as the testbed at MDE being focused on drone and maritime applications, the CapitaLand Investment on smart estate applications, and Pixel on augmented reality, virtual reality, and content production.

Previous applications of IMDA’s push for 5G applications include 5G maritime applications being deployed at scale, the TeamOne 5G modem and collaboration with IBM, M1 and Samsung Industry 4.0.

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.
