Singtel launches 5G+, with first deployment of 700 MHz spectrum in Singapore.
The real game changer
Singtel 5G+ delivers more than just powerful networks, wide coverage and low-latency speed. It's an innovation catalyst – revolutionising a new era of Industry 5.0 and transforming verticals like logistics, transportation, healthcare, alongside building smart cities and environments.
Smart technology applications will redefine manufacturing shop floor operations, driving the shift towards Industry 5.0. Key use cases like human-robot collaboration, AI for sustainable manufacturing, and digital twins for resilience will boost your business's productivity and efficiency.
Teleoperations at work
Successful tests in the construction sector help develop remote operations of equipment and improve worker safety. Other use cases across the transportation, and logistics and supply chain sectors include using automated guided vehicles plus fleet- and freight-management to drive efficiency and minimise errors.
Seamless operations and maintenance
Expect smooth operation with predictive maintenance and procedures around smart buildings, built environment, construction, managing facilities, ports and other freight handling facilities, including the use of drones and robotics.
Immerse in augmented and virtual reality
Media and entertainment, government and public services, and energy and utilities use cases exhibit high readiness and value through the use of UHD 4K video, immersive realities, and AI-powered intelligence. These can also be applied to field service, especially in training and education sectors.
The 5G+ Game Plan
While 5G+ holds great potential, many businesses struggle to know how, when, or where to begin.
For a start, while many businesses think that implementing a 5G-only solution is enough, businesses need to consider their existing devices and application investments, including their combined wired and wireless technologies, as part of their overall ICT ecosystem.
As such, Singtel's 5G+ networks serve as a compelling technology. They seamlessly complement an enterprise’s existing connectivity, which will most likely be a hybrid of 4G LTE/LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi 6, and 5G technologies.
Let us help you break down your 5G+ game plan
Developing a successful 5G+ strategy begins with a clear, step-by-step approach. We start by helping you identify and quantify the right use cases for your business. To effectively evaluate an aspiration, businesses can consider four key dimensions:
Economics
Build comprehensive cost models that will help you evaluate the potential outcome of the total cost of ownership and support your ROI account. It will also help you outline the investment milestones needed and the projected financial commitment to see the project through.
Business outcomes
Examine the crucial points of a use case to the business, such as security and scalability, that are required to deliver the value of the data from the use case back to the business.
Performance
Evaluate workloads and the kind of data traversing the network for the particular use case, and if they require the mobility, latency and capacity that 5G provides.
Operations
To maximise operational value, consider the entire ecosystem. A successful 5G use case demands robust network and endpoint management, plus redundancy, to continuously increase its value and ensure long-term sustainability.
Reshaping the future of industries
Manufacturing
5G networks will profoundly impact how Industry 5.0 players, or "smart factories," produce and distribute goods. These advanced networks enable a new era of human-machine collaboration, sustainable operations, and resilient supply chains, fundamentally transforming manufacturing and logistics.
Process automation with robots to assist with loading, unloading, packing, and delivery
Remote monitoring of factory operations
Predictive maintenance of machines
Logistics
5G has the potential to enhance the supply chain viabilities and to monitor real-time tracking of cargo and parcels. This will reduce losses and lag-time due to human factors and inefficiencies, resulting in cost savings and a seamless automated process.
Minimise supply chain risks
Faster and safer land and sea operations
Augmented Reality (AR) applications
Transportation
5G will drive the future of transportation. We're steering towards an immersive digital space powered by 5G technologies like Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication. This includes Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), enabling autonomous and connected cars for advanced route planning and energy-saving strategies.
Seamlessly integrate 5G with other transport communications solutions
Real-time data and video analytics for crowd information, improved visibility, and optimum performance
Smart surveillance enhances public safety via instant reporting
Stream 4K video, audio, and sensor data to maintain uninterrupted and critically safe connection between remote drivers and in-vehicle sub-systems in teleoperations
Retail
5G will completely transform retail customer experiences. Singtel and Apple's enterprise partners joined forces to power Singapore's very first 5G-enabled Smart Retail Showcase. This initiative simulates a real retail environment, unlocking innovative solutions that deliver a new level of customer engagement and experience.
Revolutionise shopping with 1:1 recreations of stores using AR/VR technology
Mitigate manpower concerns with digital sales assistant avatars powered by actual humans
Enable self-service options by accessing product information and inventory levels using AR capabilities
Enhance retail management with digital tools for supply chain visibility and customer engagement
Construction and built environment
The 5G revolution will recreate the blueprint for the building industry.
Expect optimised workflow and streamlined coordination processes, and human intervention will take a back seat handling autonomous machinery, like self-driving vehicles, drones, 3D printing and AR gadgets. Engineered to help build faster, with less manpower and fewer costly errors.
Improve safety and compliance
Huge capacity for big data, further labour-saving devices, AI-controlled equipment
Enhance efficiency for remote site audit and inspection, plus tracking and monitoring the stages of construction
Manage facilities with 5G
With 5G, smart and integrated facilities management will improve the maintenance and security of its built environments, making them more sustainable and secure.
Smart and automated resource management systems
Predictive maintenance and resource optimisation
Internet-connected and self-learning lighting systems

The four technologies reshaping how cities keep citizens safe — Across Asia Pacific, governments are investing in smarter, safer cities, and public safety is becoming an infrastructure question. Robotics, quantum-safe security, modern data architecture, and AI-driven decision systems are changing how agencies patrol, respond, and protect. Each one depends on the same underlying network conditions. See how the four capabilities come together, and the Singtel stack built to carry them./business/insights/the-four-technologies-reshaping-how-cities-keep-citizens-safe
The network as a sensor: why Industry 5.0 needs a spatial layer — Wireless networks are evolving beyond pure connectivity into a spatial intelligence layer.
