StarHub, in partnership
with Huawei Technologies has launched StarHub's HSPA+ network in Singapore.
This announcement makes StarHub the first operator in Asia Pacific to have a
mobile broadband network capable of speeds of up to 21Mbps. StarHub’s
customers will be among the first in the world to experience the fastest
mobile broadband speed and superior services than anytime previously through
its HSPA+ network and devices provided by Huawei.
Chan Kin Hung, Head of StarHub’s Personal Solutions and Advanced Multimedia
Services said, “StarHub's HSPA+, the fastest mobile broadband network that
delivers speeds of up to 21Mbps, would enable us to offer even better
customer experience such as faster response time for high-definition video
streaming, high-speed web surfing, web conferencing and other
next-generation wireless applications with high bandwidth requirements.”
HSPA+ increases StarHub’s mobile broadband network capacity to support
speeds of up to 21Mbps, from 14.4Mbps previously.
The launch of the first HSPA+ network in Asia Pacific represents a major
milestone for the mobile broadband industry, said Wan Biao, President of
Huawei’s Wireless Product Line.
In May 2008, StarHub appointed Huawei to expand and upgrade its nationwide
3.5G mobile broadband network to HSPA+. The HSPA+ service launch is part of
StarHub’s overall strategy to provide an unparalleled mobile broadband
experience that can deliver better surfing experience, higher resolution on
streamed mobile content, improved interactivity and other next-generation
wireless applications with high bandwidth requirements.
To commemorate this milestone in the mobile broadband industry, StarHub is
offering 100 customers the chance to pilot test Asia Pacific’s fastest
mobile broadband service in Singapore.
