Singapore's StarHub is switching on 5G SA coverage across the island from today, allowing new and re-contracting Mobile+ and Biz+ subscribers with StarHub’s 5G SIM cards and compatible devices to be amongst the first to experience and enjoy enhanced mobile experiences, from streaming to gaming and surfing at blazing speeds, and crystal-clear quality calls.
Existing Mobile+ and Biz+ subscribers will also be provisioned with 5G SA access. StarHub will progressively reach out to these customers with information on how to receive brand-new 5G SIM cards free-of-charge. They will join the thousands who have already hopped on board since distribution started last month for re-contracting and new customers. For utmost convenience for customers, StarHub will deliver the 5G SIM card right to their doorsteps for free.
StarHub 5G SA operates on an independent network infrastructure designed and deployed solely to enable 5G, providing an increased data capacity and bandwidth to connect a massive number of devices. This means that customers will be able to experience an ultra-responsive and low-latency network on compatible devices. A wide selection of supported devices will soon be available to customers as manufacturers push out 5G SA software updates and launch new models in the coming months.
As part of the market trial, StarHub 5G SA signals will beam across select high-traffic locations, including Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Clementi, Sengkang, Pasir Ris, Tampines, Bedok, Woodlands, Paya Lebar, Punggol, Pioneer, Orchard, as well as the Central Business District and Marina Bay Financial Centre. In addition, StarHub is continuing the expansion of its existing 5G network into more indoor areas, covering popular shopping malls including Tampines Mall, Plaza Singapura, Jurong Point, VivoCity, ION Orchard, JEM, Causeway Point, and NEX.
