News Summary:

On March 7, 2026, Singtel announced a strategic collaboration with Ericsson to accelerate the evolution of 5G Advanced into a programmable AI-powered digital platform. This initiative aims to power enterprise transformation, strengthen Singapore’s digital economy, and future-proof the nation’s network infrastructure for the next decade. Previously, on March 6, Ericsson and Singtel subsidiary Optus partnered on an AI model designed for accurate 5G SA coverage prediction, which seeks to mitigate issues such as battery drain and dropped connections. This followed Singtel's decision on March 5 to place its wholly owned subsidiary, Singtel Strategy Pte. Ltd., into creditors’ voluntary liquidation, appointing provisional liquidators. The company stated this closure is not expected to materially affect its net tangible assets or earnings per share. Earlier the same day, Singtel Singapore CEO Ng Tian Chong appeared at MWC26 Barcelona alongside OpenAI chair Bret Taylor to discuss the early stages of enterprise deployment of AI technology and its potential economic benefits.
