M1 Launches 3G Data Card Trial
M1 customers will be able to experience high-speed data services on the M1 3G network when M1 starts the first phase of its 3G trial on 25 November 2004. The trial will last just over a month and involve mainly corporate customers and business partners.
Some 100 corporate customers will test 3G data cards in the first phase of the trial from 25 November 2004 to 3 January 2005. The second phase, involving 200 consumers and corporate customers using 3G mobile phones, will take place in December.
Customers taking part in the 3G data card trial will be able to enjoy high speed Internet access of up to 384 kbps. With the 3G data cards inserted into their laptops, most of Singapore could be turned into a virtual hotspot.
The rollout of M1's 3G network has proceeded smoothly and according to plan, with the Central Business District and most of the populated parts of Singapore already covered. M1 has exceeded the 95% street level coverage required by IDA and in areas where 3G coverage is not available, customers can expect seamless handover from 3G to 2G.
