THE Infocomm Media Development Authority will support the plans of mobile network operators to deploy 5G networks that ride on existing 4G infrastructure, otherwise known as 5G non-standalone networks.

This move will allow trials for consumers to enjoy partial 5G experiences in the near term, ahead of the nationwide rollout of 5G standalone networks by 2025. The key benefit will be faster mobile speeds, IMDA said in a press statement on Monday. Singapore is on track to deploy two 5G SA networks by 2025, and by end-2022, 5G SA capabilities will cover at least half of the country. In the interim, MNOs have indicated an interest in using NSA networks as a"short-term and transitory arrangement", IMDA said.

MNOs that receive IMDA’s approval will be allowed to conduct market trials and offer some early commercial 5G services to consumers. Meanwhile, IMDA will also work with MNOs to develop a regulatory framework to ensure a smooth transition from NSA to the eventual SA networks.
