Singtel Brings ‘GENIE’, a Portable 5G Platform

GENIE is the latest technology launched by Singtel, a Singapore-based telecommunications company. It is the world’s first and only device that can provide companies with a portable 5G platform and help them create an independent 5G network at any location it is deployed at. This device will allow companies to conduct 5G trials and experience 5G’s capabilities before deciding to invest huge sums of money into getting their own dedicated or private 5G network.

GENIE, a Portable 5G Platform That Can Fit in a Suitcase

GENIE comes with a 5G network control kit and a standing mount with a 5G radio antenna. The most striking feature of this device is that it can fit a suitcase-sized container. It is a hassle-free device since it doesn’t require any prior installation of other equipment to work. All it requires is an electrical outlet and can be installed within an hour.

Dennis Wong, vice president of Singtel, said, even though many companies know that the 5G technology will be useful for them, they don’t actually know how its applications will help them operator their business better. By using GENIE on their premises, the companies can quickly validate their applications with their partners or verify the performance of their use cases without any major cost.

He also mentioned GENIE would predominantly be useful for the large enterprises that need to test 5G before they decide to invest in their dedicated network. “Seeing what 5G can do in their premises will help more enterprises adopt 5G and speed up their digital transformation,” he added.
