Connecting Singapore — From Rotary Phones to 5G and Beyond
Singtel’s story is intertwined with Singapore’s own growth from a colonial trading port to a global digital hub. Founded as the Telecommunications Authority of Singapore, Singtel has evolved for over a century to become Asia’s leading communications group.
Early Beginnings
Singapore’s first telephone line was installed in 1879. Over the decades, the telephone service grew alongside the city-state’s economy. Singtel was corporatised and listed in 1993, marking a key step in modernising the telecom sector.
Regional Expansion and Digital Transformation
Today, Singtel is more than a local telco — it holds significant stakes in regional operators like Bharti Airtel (India), Telkomsel (Indonesia), and AIS (Thailand). Its core business spans:
- Mobile and fixed-line services
- Digital TV and broadband
- Cybersecurity and cloud services
- 5G infrastructure and enterprise solutions
Singtel is at the forefront of Singapore’s digital economy push, investing heavily in cybersecurity, smart nation initiatives, and enterprise digital transformation.
