5G in Singapore - statistics and facts
Singapore is among the most connected countries and stands as one of the world’s most advanced information and communication technology (ICT) markets, driven by its highly developed network infrastructure and progressive regulatory framework. The city-state is at the forefront of 5G adoption, not only through network deployment but also in terms of technology adoption. The dynamics of this sector are seen as a source of economic and social development, in line with the Smart Nation initiative. Singtel, StarHub, and M1 have been responsible for operating 5G networks across the country, and the rollout has exceeded projections. Singtel achieved standalone 5G coverage of over 95 percent in July 2022, three years ahead of the 2025 target set by the government. The country thus became the first in the world to be fully covered by a standalone 5G network.
