SINGAPORE (dpa): Two of Singapore's main telecoms operators have opted for Sweden's Ericsson and Finland's Nokia as core partners in building two national 5G networks.
The announcements by Singtel and StarHub mean that Chinese operators such as ZTE and Huawei - which have been at the centre of diplomatic and security wrangles in Europe over their roles in building 5G networks there, with opponents alleging close links to China's military - will likely be limited to relatively peripheral aspects of Singapore's 5G systems.
Earlier on Wednesday, The Infocomm Media Development Authority , Singapore's telecoms regulator, released a statement finalizing the award of two main 5G licences to Singtel and Starhub, the latter as part of a joint venture. By 2025, Singapore's government hopes to have blanket 5G coverage across the city-state, which is home to around 5.8 million people crammed into a land area about a third the size of Luxembourg.
