Singapore's MobileOne (M1) has announced that it will launch a nationwide LTE service on the 15th September, which it says will be the first nationwide network in South East Asia.
M1's LTE service, operating on both 1800MHz and 2600MHz spectrum, will encompass both street level and in-building coverage. The service will offer theoretical download speeds of up to 75Mbps, although typical download speeds at fixed locations will range from 6.9Mbps to 17.4Mbps.
"We are excited to be the first in South East Asia to offer nationwide 4G service. This launch marks another 'first' in M1's milestones, which includes being the first to commercially launch nationwide 3G mobile service in February 2005, mobile broadband service in December 2006, as well as 4G service within the financial district in June 2011," said Ms Karen Kooi, Chief Executive Officer, M1 Limited.
Customers on M1's 4G network will also have roaming services in Hong Kong with M1's partner, SmarTone Telecommunications. More countries and operators will be added in the near future.
At launch, 4G devices that will be available include handsets: Samsung Galaxy Note LTE, Samsung Galaxy SII LTE, HTC One XL and LG Optimus True HD LTE; tablets: ASUS Transformer Pad TF300TL and Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE; USB modem: Huawei E392, and mobile Wi-Fi modem: Huawei E589.
