StarHub Mobile customers can now tap into the full potential of 5G technology through StarHub’s free 5G Standalone (SA) market trial.
With StarHub switching on 5G SA coverage across the island from today, new and re-contracting Mobile+ and Biz+ subscribers with StarHub’s 5G SIM cards and compatible devices can be amongst the first to experience and enjoy enhanced mobile experiences, from streaming to gaming and surfing at blazing speeds, and crystal-clear quality calls.
Existing Mobile+ and Biz+ subscribers will also be provisioned with 5G SA access. StarHub will progressively reach out to these customers with information on how to receive brand-new 5G SIM cards free-of-charge. They will join the thousands who have already hopped on board since distribution started last month for re-contracting and new customers.
StarHub 5G SA operates on an independent network infrastructure designed and deployed solely to enable 5G, providing an increased data capacity and bandwidth to connect a massive number of devices. This means that customers will be able to experience an ultra-responsive and low-latency network on compatible devices. A wide selection of supported devices will soon be available to customers as manufacturers push out 5G SA software updates and launch new models in the coming months.
