StarHub upgrades broadband
By Wendy Lim
USERS who surf the web on the go will soon get faster Internet
access from StarHub.
The telco will be progressively upgrading its mobile broadband
network to the dual carrier frequency technology which will allow
for data download speed of up to 42.2Mbps, double the maximum speed
on the current network.
'StarHub is excited that it will soon be able to manage even larger
volumes of data traffic and continue to support the highest HSPA
speeds available in Singapore, to meet the growing demand for
broadband access on the move,' said Peter Cook, Starhub's
vice-president of integrated network engineering on Tuesday.
With the implementation of the network upgrade, Starhub has become
the first mobile operator in Southeast Asia to deploy the dual
carrier technology.
The upgrade to its mobile broadband network is expected to be fully
completed by the third quarter of this year, said a statement from
StarHub.
