INDIANA: US chip titan Intel said on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) it would invest $20 billion in building two new plants in Arizona as part of a plan to ramp up production in the United States and Europe. The move comes as a global chip shortage has countries and companies in those regions looking to reduce reliance on plants in Asia for semiconductors, which are used in a growing array of products such as cars. Intel chief executive Pat Gelsinger announced the investment during a webcast about the company’s strategy, as it faces pressure to come up with bold ways to fend off fierce competition. “Intel is the only company with the depth and breadth of software, silicon and platforms, packaging and process with at-scale manufacturing customers can depend on for their next-generation innovations,” Gelsinger said. He stressed that Intel intends to continue doing most of its chip making at its own plants, while also building on relationships with third-party foundries for some ... » Learn More about Intel to spend $20B for new plants

SINGAPORE - Singapore plans to issue licences to operate two full-fledged 5G networks and two smaller ones with limited coverage. All four networks can be rolled out by next year, although nationwide coverage will take much longer and be limited to only two networks due to the scarcity of 5G airwaves for islandwide reach. Minister for Communications and Information S. Iswaran announced the decision on Thursday (Oct 17). Here is a quick guide to the key announcements and reasons. 1. WHY IS SINGAPORE PUSHING FOR FOUR 5G NETWORKS INSTEAD OF TWO? The Infocomm Media Development Authority's (IMDA) plans became more aggressive after a two-month-long public consultation earlier this year, during which there were calls for the involvement of all four telcos here - Singtel, StarHub, M1 and TPG Telecom - to spur innovation and competition. IMDA heeded these calls. As there are limited 5G airwaves for islandwide reach, IMDA cannot allow more than two nationwide networks in ... » Learn More about 5G networks planned for Singapore: What you need to know

Singapore is looking to develop next-frontier 5G applications to support its ambition to lead the global digital economy. Several projects have qualified for a grant from a $40 million fund set up by the National Research Foundation and the IMDA to accelerate this. The projects are in the following areas: SMART MOBILITY Real estate firm CapitaLand, map service provider Navinfo Datatech and telco TPG Telecom will be testing cloud-based driverless car navigation at Science Park 1 and and 2 over a 5G connection. By shifting the processing of traffic data from an in-vehicle system to the cloud, it is hoped that the cost of autonomous vehicles can be reduced. The firms will also be testing how quickly data can be obtained from numerous sources such as sensors on road infrastructure and other vehicles for navigation purposes.

More than half of Singapore will have 5G mobile network coverage by end-2022, offering surfing speeds more than 20 times what the current 4G networks offer, with the need to upgrade digital infrastructure driven home by the present partial lockdown. Singtel and a joint venture between StarHub and M1 won the rights to build the Republic's two nationwide networks yesterday and will have to scale up to provide nationwide coverage by 2025. Meanwhile, Singapore's four telcos - Singtel, StarHub, M1 and TPG Telecom - will also be allowed to operate smaller 5G networks that provide spot coverage using airwaves that are in abundance. Nationwide coverage is limited to only two networks because of the scarcity of certain 5G airwaves for islandwide reach. Also, the far-reaching 3.5GHz airwaves that make it possible only become available from next year. The sector's regulator, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), made its decision after considering detailed business proposals ... » Learn More about Singapore awards 5G licences to 3 local telcos

Singapore has set its sights on up to four 5G networks, instead of the two initially planned for, as it takes bolder steps to embrace a technology believed to be crucial to the nation's economic growth. All four networks can be rolled out by next year, although nationwide coverage will take much longer and be limited to only two networks due to the scarcity of 5G airwaves for islandwide reach. These scarce airwaves, that enable nationwide reach, will become available only in 2021, and wider coverage will start being rolled out in 2022. However, all four networks may offer localised coverage next year. The Infocomm Media Development Authority's (IMDA) more aggressive push to have two extra smaller 5G networks factors in immediate industrial needs - for example, in smart ports and smart factories to remotely operate cranes or vehicles to move shipping containers or goods round the clock. A public consultation completed in July elicited calls to involve all four telcos here - ... » Learn More about Singapore plans four 5G networks to secure digital future

SINGAPORE - Some industry players want Singapore to free up more 5G airwaves while others believe one single network will be enough to share among all operators. Individuals, however, are concerned with whether radiation from the 5G radio frequency will be harmful to people's health . These were the leading responses from a recent public consultation posted on Monday night (July 15) on the website of regulator Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). The IMDA had held the consultation, which ended last week, to get feedback on its approach to assigning 5G airwaves. It plans to award two sets of airwaves to telcos that put in the best proposals in next year's nationwide roll-out of the next generation mobile network, which promises to make self-driving cars and remote surgery a reality. Its call drew strong interest and diverse responses from telcos, equipment and network providers as well as individuals. Of the 62 responses, about 60 per cent were from the ... » Learn More about 5G roll-out: Telcos split on number of networks, individuals fear health risks
