M1’s high-speed, disruption-free network
M1 subscribers are set to get faster and steadier connections on their mobile devices in Spore, now that the telco is the first to launch a nationwide heterogeneous network (HetNet) that will seamlessly switch between different networks such as 4G and Wi-Fi, minimising disruptions and slow Internet-surfing speeds. Users in high-traffic areas will especially benefit, with the telco deploying small cells — essentially mini base stations — on top of the traditional macro ones, to boost coverage in crowded places and hard-to-reach areas such as carparks and basements.
