From today, Singtel will be the first telco\u00a0in Southeast Asia to offer a tri-band 4G network with LTE-900 on a commercial basis. The network\u00a0upgrade will automatically enable Singtel mobile customers with supporting handsets to enjoy better\u00a0indoor coverage. Separately, Singtel and McDonald\u2019s have signed an agreement to equip McDonald\u2019s\u00a0outlets across the island with Singtel Premium WiFi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemand for data is growing exponentially and we are always looking for ways to improve the mobile\u00a0experience for our customers. Our goal is to deliver the most reliable and seamless connectivity,\u201d says\u00a0Ms Diana Chen, VP, Mobile Marketing, Singtel. \u201cWe have invested heavily over the past year to\u00a0improve the quality and extent of coverage, particularly indoor coverage. We have also enhanced\u00a0zones that have been in need of a signal boost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speedier surfing on Singtel\u2019s 4G mobile data highway<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Customers using popular handsets launched in the last two years can enjoy this network upgrade from\u00a0today. By March 2016, it will be available at over 400 sites across the city, allowing customers to surf\u00a0the data highway much faster, and enjoy better and more consistent download speeds while indoors,\u00a0even in MRT tunnels.<\/p>\n<p>Customers can expect better mobile coverage, first at Parkway Parade, followed by eight other major\u00a0shopping malls by October this year. Residents of newer estates such as Punggol and Sengkang will\u00a0be pleased to know that 4G coverage in their area will be further enhanced by October.<\/p>\n<p>The North-South and East-West underground MRT stations and tunnels will also see improved 4G\u00a0coverage by the following month. For a list of supported handsets and sites, please visit\u00a0singtel.com\/networkcoverage<\/p>\n<p>Leveraging on this upgrade, Singtel is partnering closely with Samsung to launch a handset which fully\u00a0supports tri-band 4G+ in the coming months. By being able to utilise all three spectrum bands, the \u00a0handset will allow maximum mobile surfing speeds of up to 337Mbps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free premium WiFi at McDonald\u2019s outlets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Singtel and McDonald\u2019s have signed an agreement to equip 123 McDonald\u2019s restaurants across the island with Singtel Premium WiFi. The progressive rollout starts with Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, Nex and Causeway Point and is expected to be completed by the first half of 2016. Customers on Combo plans will then be able to tap into the service at over 600 hotspots.<br \/>\nTo allow customers to enjoy the free Premium WiFi service, Singtel has extended free unlimited access for another four months to end November.
