Singapore's M1 announced its new Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) partnership with Geenet. With this new partnership, Geenet will utilise M1’s mobile network infrastructure to offer mobile services.
Geenet provides Wi-Fi services to over 20 dormitories and claims the largest market share for dormitory Wi-Fi. It provides free Wi-Fi in communal areas and offers premium paid Wi-Fi services at higher speeds to residents looking to stay connected beyond the shared spaces. At present, more than one-third of dormitory residents subscribe to a paid Wi-Fi plan, and Geenet has seen an increase in the number of subscribers over the years.
Through its partnership with M1, Geenet’s integrated plan will comprise Wi-Fi and mobile services, which include data, SMS, local and international calls. With the launch of mobile services, Geenet is the first MVNO in Singapore to offer both Wi-Fi and mobile services specifically for the dormitory residents.
