Singtel (ISIN SG1T75931496) was trading at EUR 2.96 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, at 10:12 a.m. CEST. The company and Ericsson announced a five-year strategic partnership focused on 5G Advanced and AI-native networks, according to Ericsson on October 20, 2026.

Five years of 5G investment

The agreement extends cooperation between the Singapore telecommunications group and Ericsson across advanced connectivity, network slicing and AI-supported operations. The partners will examine applications for autonomous vehicles, industrial robotics, smart manufacturing and intelligent logistics.

The immediate operating evidence is a live-network trial that improved throughput by 19 percent. Ericsson said the test used AI-powered radio access network capabilities to optimize traffic and network resources. The release also said Singtel's 700 MHz spectrum deployment improved indoor coverage by up to 40 percent.

What does the 19 percent gain measure?

The figure measures network throughput rather than revenue or profit, so it is an operating technology indicator. For Singtel, the commercial question is whether higher performance can support differentiated connectivity services for enterprises and consumers over the five-year term.
