Internet connectivity to be boosted by up to 20 percent through the use of Self Organising Networks (SON) solution and small cells technology.
SingTel – Singapore Telecommunications Limited
SingTel is progressively rolling a range of network capacity enhancements to provide faster and more consistent data speeds in busy locations such as shopping malls, event and concert venues, and selected commercial and residential buildings.
Self Organising Networks (SON) solution
SON is a state-of-the-art mobile network management solution that dynamically allocates network resources to cater to real-time customer demand and usage patterns.
It automatically detects areas of congestion and immediately re-assigns data handling capacity from neighbouring under-utilised cells.
This ensures that customers enjoy optimal network performance at all times.
The solution also helps to minimise the impact of equipment failure.
SingTel is the first mobile operator in Singapore to implement SON across its entire network.
Small cells technology
Small and medium enterprise customers can also benefit from small cells technology to enhance mobile coverage and capacity in their office.
Using ultra-compact equipment that consumes significantly less power, the small cells solution reduces the time it takes to set up new mobile cells from months to days.
It is ideal for boosting network capacity to meet ad-hoc surges in demand at events such as concerts, election rallies, trade shows and exhibitions.
