Singtel and Ericsson recently unveiled their groundbreaking collaboration on 5G technology during the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix. This new technology, known as Automated Radio Resource Partitioning (ARRP), allowed Singtel customers to enjoy seamless livestreaming, social media sharing, and service access, even in crowded areas with over 250,000 people.
Mr. Ng Tian Chong, CEO of Singtel Singapore, expressed his excitement about the new technology, stating that businesses can now easily specify their desired outcomes, and the software will take care of the rest. This means that businesses no longer need to have a deep understanding of network resourcing and management to leverage the power of 5G and network slicing. This opens up a world of possibilities for businesses in dynamic environments such as homeland security, healthcare, smart manufacturing, and high-traffic consumer events.
The collaboration between Singtel and Ericsson is set to revolutionize the way businesses operate by allowing them to tap into the benefits of 5G without the complexity of managing network resources. This will lead to new opportunities and advancements across various sectors, including healthcare, smart manufacturing, and security.
Mr. Daniel Ode, head of Ericsson Singapore, Philippines, and Brunei, highlighted the capabilities of Ericsson’s ARRP solution, which enables Singtel to define and set measurable objectives or ‘intents’ for its enterprise customers. These objectives can be related to uplink or downlink throughputs, as well as maximum resource utilization in the network. By leveraging automation, businesses can overcome the challenges posed by increasing complexity and deliver superior network experiences through scalable and sustainable service differentiation.
In addition to this collaboration, global telecom giants are coming together to revolutionize the industry with network APIs, marking a significant shift in the telecommunications landscape. Singtel has also achieved full coverage across Singapore’s MRT network, ensuring seamless connectivity for commuters. Furthermore, Singtel has partnered with SK Telecom to drive AI and 6G development, setting the stage for future technological advancements.
Overall, the collaboration between Singtel and Ericsson on 5G technology represents a significant milestone in the telecommunications industry. By harnessing the power of automation and network slicing, businesses can unlock new opportunities and deliver enhanced network experiences to their customers across various sectors. This paves the way for a future where connectivity is seamless, efficient, and tailored to meet the evolving needs of businesses and consumers alike.
