Singtel and Ericsson today announced a five-year strategic partnership to advance Singapore's 5G capabilities, accelerate the adoption of AI-native applications and deliver more reliable, intelligent connectivity for businesses and consumers.
The agreement builds on years of collaboration that have seen Singtel and Ericsson establish one of the world's first nationwide 5G standalone networks, pioneer advanced network capabilities like network slicing and differentiated connectivity services for both enterprises and consumers to market.
Singtel and Ericsson also recently made progress in applying AI to improve network performance. A live-network trial of AI-powered radio access network capabilities demonstrated a 19% improvement in throughput, highlighting the potential for AI to optimise network resources and manage growing traffic demands more efficiently.
Extending the collaboration announced in March 2026, the new agreement establishes a longer-term roadmap that will focus on scaling 5G Advanced and AI-powered network capabilities across industries, supporting increasingly sophisticated AI and autonomous applications, and introducing more intelligent network capabilities that can anticipate demand, optimise performance and strengthen service reliability.
