SIMBA’s 10Gbps broadband uses equipment from Huawei


Singapore’s broadband providers are increasingly selling 10Gbps broadband and Wi-Fi 7 router bundles, but SIMBA is taking a slightly different approach to getting that speed to your devices – with less clutter and complexity.

Its new Premium Huawei Wi-Fi 7 Mesh System Broadband Bundle builds Wi-Fi 7 directly into the 10Gbps Optical Network Router (ONR), so a single Huawei unit terminates the fibre and broadcasts the signal, eliminating the need for a separate router to interface with the network gateway terminal. This cuts down the hardware needed around the fibre point, a core focus of SIMBA’s solutioning with Huawei.

One router alone can’t usually blanket a whole flat with good coverage, though. The bundle adds two Huawei OptiXstar Wi-Fi 7 mesh routers, giving you three Wi-Fi 7 access points to work around the concrete walls and layouts that could otherwise “kill” the internet signal in deeper sections of most Singapore homes.

S$29.99 every 30 days for 10Gbps and three Wi-Fi 7 points

A two-year plan from SIMBA costs S$29.99 per 30 days, with SIMBA saying that this includes: 

  • The Wi-Fi 7 10Gbps ONR at S$699
  • Two OptiXstar Wi-Fi 7 2.5Gbps mesh routers at S$598
  • A home phone line at S$140
  • Installation at S$50 and NetLink Trust service activation at S$61.04

That comes to S$1,548.04 of hardware and fees bundled into the plan.

The speed difference between the main 10G Wi-Fi 7 router and the two 2.5G OptiXstar mesh routers offered by SIMBA matters if you want to get closer to the full potential of a 10Gbps broadband connection.
