StarHub and the National University of Singapore ( NUS ) have signed an MOU today to collaborate on building Singapore ’ s first ‘ Borderless University ’ leveraging ultra-fast , uninterrupted and borderless connectivity , through the deployment of state-of-the-art digital infrastructure , to further elevate the University ’ s aspirations in education , research and innovation .
With eSIM technology , users can connect directly to NUS ’ private 5G network and access the University ’ s digital assets and the internet instantly without repeated logins required by Wi-Fi . This robust connectivity remains lag-free even with multiple users , extending the learning environment beyond physical boundaries and ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for staff and students throughout Singapore .
The ’ Borderless University ’ initiative is powered by Infinite Technology , driven by StarHub ’ s Enterprise 5G and their multi-cloud solution , Cloud Infinity . The joint initiative between StarHub and NUS Information Technology ( NUS IT ) aims to enhance students ’ learning experience by harnessing Enterprise 5G technology for teaching and research – also facilitate the exchange of expertise , industry knowledge , and valuable insights , benefiting both parties .
Leveraging Enterprise 5G , users can experience ultrafast , low-latency connections that support applications such as virtual and augmented reality , and real-time data analytics .
The backbone of the ‘ Borderless University ’ initiative is a private dedicated data network set up by StarHub for NUS .
The introduction of eSIM also enhances the efficiency of the onboarding process for new users at NUS . By eliminating the need for physical SIM card deployment , the activation process will be streamlined . Students and staff can register and activate their eSIM with a simple QR code scan to get connected instantly .
This collaboration brings multiple benefits , including :
y Borderless University : Uninterrupted connectivity for NUS students and staff throughout Singapore , fostering a truly mobile and adaptable learning environment . y Secured Borderless Access : Secure network segmentation based on user profiles through a private dedicated 5G network . y Data Analytics and AI : Intelligent data collected from the eSIMs could facilitate data-driven
