“To further multiply the potential of IoT and to further fuel the digital economy, IMDA will be partnering the industry to develop and put in place key components of future-ready and resilient communications infrastructure that will benefit consumers and businesses across various sectors,” Dr Yaacob said. Singapore's Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) will waive frequency fees for trials of 5G mobile networks in order to support emerging technologies such as the internet of things, the country's minister for communications has announced. With speeds up to10Gbps 5G networks will offer much greater capacity than the 450 Mbps currently available on 4G. IMDA this week opened a consultation on the spectrum requirements and regulatory provisions of 5G to ensure infrastructure plans meet market needs. The ministry said it would also seek feedback from industry stakeholders before finalising its plans.
