M1 upgrades and expands its suite of corporate
solutions

World’s first symmetrical 10Gbps connectivity service
•
Next-generation unified operations monitoring centre
•
Expanded fibre to the building services

SINGAPORE, 25 October 2017 – M1 Limited (M1) today announced the
launch of three new initiatives to corporate customers. The new network and
technology will enable corporate customers of all sizes to leverage technology
to improve their competitiveness and operational efficiency.

The enhanced corporate connectivity rollouts
are:

•
Next-generation symmetrical connectivity: The world’s first symmetrical 10Gbps PON
(passive optical network) is now available from M1. The new symmetric PON
service enables M1 to deliver highly reliable, low-latency symmetrical 10Gbps
upload and download speeds with guaranteed bitrates islandwide. Enterprises can
then leverage on this connectivity for cloud computing, software defined
networking (SDN), 4K/8K video transfers, and other applications.

•
Unified operations monitoring centre (UOMC): M1 customers will be able to tap on its next-generation
UOMC for real-time information for not just network services, but also IT
infrastructure in both private and public cloud. Advanced technology built into
the architecture will deliver predictive information, including early warning
of impending equipment failure, and thus provide customers the ability to take
proactive action to rectify possible faults before they occur. The UOMC can
also partner and inter-operate with other SOCs (security operating centres), to
address increasingly advance cyber threats and provide streamlined IT incident
management.

•           M1
fibre to the building: M1
has expanded its fibre network to buildings in Shenton Way, Orchard Road and
Buona Vista. The state-of-the-art fibre network with full redundancy
capability, will enable M1 to offer its own high speed corporate connectivity
services to more than 55 shopping malls, offices and commercial buildings in
those areas. Through this network, M1 is able to better manage provision of
services end-to-end, such as activation within seven to 10 days of sign-up
compared to current 14 days, and provide service level agreement of up to
99.999%.

“The corporate segment is a key growth sector for M1, and we have accelerated
our investments in technology, infrastructure and expertise to better serve our
customers. With the successful launch of our symmetrical PON solution,
next-generation unified operations monitoring centre and fibre to the building
infrastructure, M1 can offer advance customised high bandwidth connectivity to
meet the growing requirements of Internet of Things, Smart Nation, Cloud and
Big Data solutions from our customers,” said Mr Willis Sim, Chief Corporate
Sales and Solutions Officer, M1.

M1 is Singapore’s most
vibrant and dynamic communications company, providing mobile and fixed services
to over 2 million customers. Since the launch of commercial services in 1997,
M1 has achieved many firsts, including the first operator to offer nationwide
4G service, as well as ultra high-speed fixed broadband, fixed voice and other
