StarHub, in collaboration with Nokia, has completed the nationwide rollout of its XGS-PON network, connecting hundreds of thousands of homes across Singapore to 10 Gbps internet speeds.
This development marks StarHub as the first operator globally to fully migrate to a software-defined access network using Nokia’s AI-driven Altiplano platform, enhancing the capacity for bandwidth-intensive applications such as AI, immersive gaming, and advanced security.
The upgraded network is a significant step in supporting Singapore’s Digital Connectivity Blueprint, a government strategy aimed at boosting the national economy and improving citizen well-being through next-generation digital infrastructure. Nokia’s Altiplano Access Controller will enable StarHub to automate network operations, detect issues proactively, and optimise performance, thereby enhancing customer experience.
Lee Yeu Ching, Vice President of Fixed and Media Networks at StarHub, stated, “We have set ambitious goals to advance our network, aiming to enhance user experience and operational efficiency. Nokia, our longstanding partner, has played a vital role in the successful completion of this crucial initiative.”
Ming Kin Ngiam, Head of SEA South for Network Infrastructure Sales at Nokia, added, “StarHub is establishing a new standard in network modernisation with their comprehensive XGS-PON and SDAN network solutions.”
This milestone not only signifies a leap in StarHub’s Cloud Infinity Strategy but also sets a new benchmark in network modernisation, paving the way for future innovations in AI and machine learning automation.
