Ericsson and Singtel announced a five-year strategic partnership on October 20, 2026, to expand 5G Advanced and AI-native network capabilities in Singapore, according to Ericsson. The agreement extends a collaboration that includes nationwide 5G standalone infrastructure, network slicing and differentiated connectivity services.
