Singtel, Ericsson to launch Singapore’s first voice over Wi-Fi calling services

A pilot LTE broadcast will also be launched.

Singtel has partnered Ericsson to trial voice over Wi-Fi calling and LTE Broadcast and in Singapore.

Singtel and Ericsson will undertake Singapore’s first Wi-Fi calling trial, under which subscribers will be able to make and receive calls using their home Wi-Fi or public Wi-Fi areas.

Singtel subscribers can watch sporting events live on their smart devices with LTE Broadcast technology. The first trial of video delivery with LTE Broadcast will be at the 28th South East Asian Games which will be held in Singapore from 5-16 June 2015.

“The trial of this new technology in Singapore will also serve as a valuable pilot for future deployment in other markets that we operate in,” said Tay Soo Meng, Singtel's Group Chief Technology Officer.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
