Singtel launches 5G network slicing for iPhone business apps

The feature supports apps that align with Apple’s traffic categories—such as Streaming and Communication.

Singtel has announced the launch of app-based 5G network slicing for enterprise users on supported iPhone and iPad models.

The service enables enterprise applications to access dedicated slices of Singtel’s 5G network, with the goal of improving connectivity and performance, particularly for data-intensive apps used in business settings.

The feature supports apps that align with Apple’s traffic categories, such as Streaming and Communication, and those managed via Mobile Device Management platforms.

According to Singtel, this network slicing capability is designed to provide more consistent bandwidth, lower latency, and prioritisation of critical app data traffic.

Supported applications include collaboration and communication tools such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, FaceTime, and WhatsApp.

The network slicing function is available on iPhone 14 or later devices running iOS 18.2 or higher, and on selected iPads with iPadOS 18.2 or higher.

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.
