APAC Insider- Singapore Business Awards 2024 | 23 Having spent over two decades owning, building, and powering an alternative fibre network for Singapore, as well as investing in an end-to-end software defined network to deliver digitalised telco services such as bandwidth and cyber security on demand, SPTel is today a multi-awardwinning provider of cutting edge telecoms solutions. With unique fibre pathways and ultra-low latency network performance forming the core of their business, the organisation is now leveraging these strengths to deliver a Quantum-Safe Network for the nation. This new solution, alongside their offerings in Edge Cloud and IoT, further cements their position as a leader in innovation. SPTel is an ST Engineering and SP Group JV that counts Government organisations, OTT players, carriers and enterprises amongst their clientele. Known for their reliable alternative fibre network – one that is built alongside the power grid for a unique pathway versus other providers – the company has seen its fair share of technological advancements within the network landscape. In 2020, SPTel became a key participant in accelerating digital transformation with its digitalised network services and in 2023, they launched an island-wide Sensor Network powered by LoRaWAN as well as a Multi-Network SIM solution. Since then, SPTel has embarked on its most ambitious venture to date. This venture takes the form of its National Quantum-Safe Network Plus (NQSN+) project. Awarded as IMDA’s operator for the project – in partnership with SpeQtral – NQSN+ marks a new milestone in technology advancement for Singapore. The completion of NQSN+ will ensure the secure transmission of sensitive information in an era where Quantum Computers will render traditional encryption methods useless. In essence, NQSN+ will act as a secure post office for data transmission across different organisations. By leveraging quantum cryptography and the properties of quantum particles in relation to data encryption, NQSN+ promises unprecedented levels of security. SPTel was selected for this award due to its access to secure Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) to house the Quantum Key Distribution devices as well as its diverse and ultra-low latency network which enables more efficient and reliable key distribution. Prior to the NQSN+ project’s award, SPTel together with partner SpeQtral, had proven their capability via a successful proof of concept in quantum-safe networks on SPTel’s diverse fibre network. Besides NQSN+, SPTel has also further enhanced their Edge Cloud capabilities to enable infrastructure-as-aservice offerings to support Singapore’s smart nation agenda. Organisations can now benefit from ultra-responsive performance from their applications without having to own and maintain servers on site by leveraging their nearest edge cloud as a compute resource. This reduces IT and OT footprint for organisations while enabling improved responsiveness and scalability to easily enhance requirements as business needs change. All of these factors culminate in a revolutionary telecoms solutions company whose continuous influence over the ICT landscape in Singapore has paved the way towards accelerated digital adoption in Singapore. At its core, SPTel is a company driven by its desire to reimagine and redefine the way data and networks are handled. Empowered by this mindset, it has gone above and beyond to transcend preexisting industry expectations, resulting in one of the most innovative advancements the region has seen in recent years. It’s for this very reason that SPTel is recognised as an award-winning company, and we can’t wait to see how its ingenuity continues to play an integral role in the realisation of its most ambitious project to date.
