SingTel Mobile providing LTE-A 300-Mbps service
SingTel Mobile, working with Ericsson, has initiated the first 300-Mbps LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) service in Singapore, doubling the current maximum peak speed of 150-Mbps, Telegeography.com reports.
The two partners said in a joint release that they achieved downlink speeds of up to 300-Mbps using LTE-A carrier aggregation, by combining 20-MHz of bandwidth each from the carrier’s 1,800-MHz and 2,600-MHz bands. SingTel Mobile now plans to expand the LTE-A service as devices supporting the technology become more widely available in the city-state.
