A Smart Retail Showcase of the future, at a glance

Located at Singtel’s Centre of Digital Excellence (CODE), the showcase is designed to simulate the environment of an actual retail store, complete with a front-of-house “fashion store” setup and a back-of-house “storeroom”. With Singtel’s 5G connectivity, Singtel Paragon applications and Apple's product technologies, enterprises are introduced to innovative solutions that can be applied to their own physical or online stores to improve retail workflows and enhance customer experiences.
 

Getting a head start on digital transformation with Singtel 5G and Apple

Apple

Apple's lineup of products – namely the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone SE, iPhone 13, iPad Pro with M2 chip, iPad Air 5th Gen and iPad Mini 6th Gen – are packed with innovative features designed to host our new solutions. These include Neural Engine, LiDAR and true-depth cameras, with powerful 5G performance tightly integrated with developer frameworks for machine learning, augmented reality and 5G-optimised business apps.

Singtel 5G

With Singtel’s ultra-fast, low latency 5G network, enterprises are able to deploy our solutions to create lifelike environments, data-heavy visualisations with AR/VR and facilitate real-time operations and customer interactions.

Solutions are housed under Singtel Paragon, the industry’s first all-in-one orchestration platform for 5G, multi-access edge computing (MEC) and cloud services. Offering a robust ecosystem of solutions, Singtel Paragon effectively lowers the barriers to digitalisation for enterprises, reducing the time and complexity needed to adopt these new technologies.
