    THE Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) is investing as much as S$100 million to upgrade Singapore’s Nationwide Broadband Network (NBN), such that it will run on higher speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps).

    The investment will support the upgrading of both NBN’s back-end network as well as front-end user equipment, which will take place from mid-2024 to 2026.

    This will enable the provision of higher-speed services and offerings at more competitive prices to businesses and consumers, said IMDA on Wednesday (Feb 21).
