In a joint venture with Ericsson and HP Inc, Singtel has launched a service featuring the Ericsson Enterprise Virtual Cellular Network. This service automates eSIM profile management, allowing zero-touch provisioning and secure access to corporate applications from nearly any location. This automation gives enterprises total control over eSIM activation and deployment, thus simplifying operations and reducing IT overhead.

5G+ Workspace and HP’s Role

The 5G+ Workspace is also equipped with HP’s enterprise-grade, AI-ready laptops and digital workplace tools. This combination simplifies device management for modern, geographically dispersed teams. Each device is fitted with Singtel’s 5G+ eSIM during production, ensuring secure connectivity straight out of the box. The intelligent management platform automatically activates 5G connectivity according to company policies, enabling IT teams to manage devices, monitor usage, and optimize the employee experience throughout the device’s lifecycle.

Addressing Hybrid Work Challenges

With 76% of employers in Singapore transitioning to hybrid work models, concerns about connectivity, security, and IT complexity have emerged. Singtel’s 5G+ Mobile Workspace addresses these concerns by offering a secure, intelligent mobility platform that supports cloud-native, AI-driven applications on a large scale.

Benefits of the 5G+ Mobile Workspace

The 5G+ Mobile Workspace provides flexible, secure, and cost-effective real-time communications, including voice, messaging, and video, without the need for additional infrastructure investment.

The platform also supports the direct activation of advanced network services like network slicing, which facilitates high-speed data transfer and real-time analytics.

5G+ Coverage and Performance

Singtel’s nationwide 5G+ coverage, including the 700 MHz spectrum, ensures stronger indoor connectivity, ultra-low latency, and speeds up to four times faster. Singtel has demonstrated the scalability of its 5G+ network at high-traffic events, maintaining seamless connectivity even during peak demand.
