The National Museum of Singapore and Children’s Museum Singapore will soon be using 5G connectivity and edge computing solutions to deliver improved visitor experience.
With M1’s 5G ultra-high bandwidth, low latency and hyperconnectivity, the museums will be able to attract and engage new audiences in an innovative manner, including adding new layers of interactivity and immersiveness to enrich the museum-going experience.
They will also leverage Multi-Access Edge Computing infrastructure deployed from Keppel Data Centre’s data centre colocation. This enables every touchpoint to be an immediate source of data for museums to better curate and personalise exhibits. From augmented reality to virtual reality artworks to 3D holographic displays and 4K ultra high-definition remote video tours, the museums will now be able to offer hyper-personalised experiences with greater engagement.
This effort is part of a wider initiative by the National Heritage Board (NHB) to progressively roll out 5G technology for the rest of its national museums and heritage institutions across Singapore.
“We are glad to be working with M1 to help transform the museum experience for visitors. With advanced technology like 5G, artificial Intelligence and edge computing, we can now offer new and interactive ways for the public to experience our exhibitions in person,” says Mohamed Hardi, director of Information Technology Division and chief information officer of NHB.
He continues: “We look forward to continuing to innovate and bring tech-powered experiences to more in the future. The use of 5G within the Singapore heritage sector will contribute to Singapore being a hyperconnected city, and to its goal towards being a Smart Nation,”

Manjot Singh Mann, chief executive officer of M1, adds: “5G innovations allow museums and heritage institutions to reimagine the role they can play in preserving history and bringing it to life. M1 and AsiaPac, together with Keppel DC, are proud to be collaborating with the National Heritage Board to usher in a new era of interactivity for their museums.”
