SINGTEL and Ericsson will launch a 5G pilot network in the one-north district by the fourth quarter to support drone and self-driving car tests there.

Raymond Soh, Ericsson head of network solutions for Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines, said: "We plan to test some drone-flying with connected networks, that's the first thing we're going to do. Then we'll look at how autonomous vehicles can benefit from 5G, so it's a longer-term exploration."
