Viettel Group reached a deal with Singtel to jointly develop a submarine cable system directly connecting Vietnam and Singapore, adding hundreds of Tb/s to the operators’ international connectivity capacity when operational in Q2 2027.

Singtel laid out an update environmental strategy at its first sustainability forum, detailing plans to speed up its transition to renewable energy, to electrify its Singapore vehicle fleet and reduce packaging and materials.

Singtel detailed plans to introduce a GPU-as-a-service (GPUaaS) for enterprises in its home market Singapore and across Southeast Asia in Q3, with intentions to offer different types of accelerators for customers' advanced computing and AI needs.

Singtel denied an Australian Financial Review report it was in advanced discussions to sell Optus to private equity company Brookfield Asset Management for AUD16 billion ($12 billion), stating the subsidiary remains an integral part of its group.

Singtel raised SGD950 million by offloading a slice of its holdings in Bharti Airtel to US-based investment company GQG Partners, part of a strategic reset unveiled nearly three years ago.

Singapore mobile operators Singtel and M1 agreed to unite a suite of APIs enabling enterprises to access real-time network data for authentication and fraud detection, as they move to offer more secure and verified digital transactions.
