Singapore's Singtel and Surbana Jurong signed an MOU to form a first of its kind strategic alliance integrating technology and infrastructure to co-create smart city solutions that will accelerate the transformation of key industries.
To kickstart the partnership, the two companies will first focus on smart and sustainable integrated facilities management.
Surbana Jurong, which designs, plans and manages some of the largest urban and infrastructure facilities around the world, will provide the breadth and scope required to pilot the application of technology solutions, while Singtel brings on board its capabilities in 5G and emerging technologies to design solutions to advance the transformation of industries.
The partnership will integrate Singtel’s 5G Multi-access Edge Compute and Surbana Jurong’s P24K suite of facility management systems to create an industry-first 5G-powered data aggregation and management platform that tracks, monitors and manages multiple operations simultaneously. The integrated system will aggregate data about space, water, energy, utilisation and indoor air quality from sensors to help facility managers drive greater operational efficiency and achieve their smart and sustainable goals.
