Singtel in partnership with Ericsson will be completing a nationwide deployment of the 900MHz band for its 4G LTE network by the end of March this year, according to the Operator. This enhancement means that Singtel customers will experience even deeper 4G indoor coverage with wider and more consistent network performance.

The deployment leverages low-band LTE frequency, or the LTE-900 to boost existing connections. Singtel is the first and only operator in Singapore to provide tri-band LTE network using 900MHz, 1800MHz and 2600MHz bands. This tri-band technology allows Singtel to provide one of the fastest peak mobile throughputs in Singapore with download speeds of more than 300Mbps, said Ericsson. Additionally, the upgrade will also enable Singtel to offer nationwide 3CC (Cell Carrier) Carrier Aggregation technology. 

Tay Yeow Lian, Managing Director of Networks, Consumer Singapore, Singtel
Network innovation has always been a priority for Singtel and Singapore has always been an innovation test bed for the Group. This LTE-900 boost is part of our ongoing network investments to deliver an unrivalled 4G LTE experience, which is important to our customers. 

Martin Wiktorin, Country Manager of Ericsson Singapore and Brunei
Singtel has always been a trailblazer in enhancing and upgrading its service offerings, and we are proud to share the same determination as we play an important role in the evolution of their network.
