HTX, Singtel Group deepen partnership to strengthen Singapore’s public safety

HTX (Home Team Science and Technology Agency) and Singtel have renewed and expanded an existing Strategic Partnership for Innovation (SPI) Master Agreement, deepening their technological collaboration to strengthen Singapore’s public safety capabilities.

Under the five-year agreement, two Singtel Group companies, Singtel Singapore and Digital InfraCo, will work closely with HTX to enhance the resilience, performance and security of Home Team systems through the development of next-generation technologies, including AI communications technology, network services and cybersecurity.

HTX and Singtel share a strong commitment towards harnessing innovation to support Singapore’s public safety mission. As part of their collaboration, HTX co-developed and deployed network slicing capabilities with Singtel Singapore to minimise the impact of network congestion on Home Team officers during major operations and events. Moving forward, the Singtel Group will support HTX in optimising its network operations through data-driven insights, expand secure communication capabilities, and strengthen operational intelligence with AI-enabled solutions.

To support HTX’s growing AI requirements, RE:AI, the AI cloud service of Singtel Digital InfraCo, will provide secure and high-performance AI infrastructure for public safety use cases. RE:AI will enable latency-sensitive applications while ensuring sensitive data remains within trusted local environments. RE:AI will also support HTX in rapidly prototyping and deploying AI use cases in a more cost-effective manner. These capabilities will augment the work of Home Team officers by enabling faster response times, better-informed decision making and sustained operational readiness amid an increasingly complex security environment.

We are uniquely able to deliver this through our sovereign AI cloud built on our secured digital infrastructure, giving HTX full control to run their most critical, real-time applications with confidence. Our partnership with HTX will help propel AI innovation and the development of AI capabilities at speed and scale to enhance the safety and security of our nation.”

Chan Tsan, Chief Executive, HTX, said: “Our partnership with Singtel will help ensure the Home Team is equipped with advanced network connectivity solutions, cybersecurity tools and AI infrastructure to support its operations. This partnership is strongly aligned with our vision of building an AI-enabled Home Team to make Singapore the safest place on Earth. Given the complexity and evolving nature of the public safety landscape, it is imperative for HTX to work closely with trusted partners like Singtel to harness innovation and develop technological capabilities to enhance the safety and security of the nation.”
