| Wireless@SG is a wireless broadband programme developed by IDA as part of its Next Generation National Infocomm Infrastructure initiative. It will be run and developed in the next two years by three local wireless operators who will deploy a wireless broadband network in Singapore. Users can enjoy free, both in-door and outdoor seamless wireless broadband access with speeds of up to 512kbps at most public areas.

| Through the Request For Concepts (RFC), IDA seeks proposals from interested parties on the design, financing, construction and operation of the Next Generation National Broadband Network. IDA will use the responses to the RFC to draw up detailed specifications, operating and financial terms of the network for the subsequent Request For Proposals.

| IDA issued an Wireless Broadband Market Development (WBMD) Call-For-Collaboration in March 2006, to grow Singapore's wireless broadband market and catalyse broadband adoption. The proposals from iCell Network Pte Ltd, QMAX Communications and Singapore Telecommunications Ltd, were accepted to kick-start the nation's progressive deployment of a widely-available wireless network by September 2007. |

| The Call-For-Collaboration (CFC) on 3G Content and Services is part of a series of CFCs under IDA's Wired With Wireless Programme. This CFC aims to bring the local wireless industry together to develop and launch innovative content and services for 3G terminals, thereby accelerating the adoption of 3G in Singapore. |

|
| The Call-For-Collaboration (CFC) for Mobile Payment Systems represented the first in a series of CFCs, and sought to accelerate the development of a vital enabling component of mobile commerce infrastructure, namely Mobile Payment Systems. |

|
| Through the piloting and adoption of solutions that can take advantage of the mobility offered by wireless technologies, enterprises can gain competitive advantages in the form of faster decision making, productivity gains, cost savings, responsiveness to customer demand and visibility over the processes and operations. IDA aims to support the trial and piloting of such technologies by facilitating the exchange of information between technology providers and users, and sharing some of the risks involved in piloting the use of such technologies. |

|
| The Wireless Java Solutions Call-for-Collaboration sought to encourage the development, trial and pilot of innovative applications and to spur the adoption of wireless Java technology and position Singapore as an early adopter and leader of wireless open-standards Java technology in Asia. |

|
|
| This CFC aims to create a test bed to demonstrate pervasive wireless access to contents and applications through the use of GPRS, 802.11 WLAN and Bluetooth technologies; and showcase the possible integration of such wireless technologies to support the way we work and live in the enterprise, public buildings, outdoor environment, community areas and at home. |

|
| The Call-For-Collaboration (CFC) for Location-Based Services (LBS) under the Wired With Wireless programme sought to encourage industry players to collaborate with other relevant industry players and potentially leverage on the content inputs such as map, traffic, heritage and tourist data from the supporting public agencies (LTA, NHB, SLA and STB), to develop and trial LBS. |
