Singapore has enough telco capacity: IMDA

Demand surges as people begin working from home amidst the lockdown.

Singapore has sufficient telecommunications capacity to cope with the increase in demand, according to the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).

Nine in 10 Singapore households have fibre networks in their homes, and IMDA assured that the city-state’s fixed and mobile networks will have the bandwidth to cope with the demand, as network traffic has seen quite a surge since the start of the COVID-19 crisis

The surge in demand for home fibre broadband or mobile network services comes as most people start to work from home.

Schools and higher learning institutes have shifted to home-based learning, whilst preschools and student-care centres remain closed.
