Fixed Network Overview

1st FASTER Strategy
We are doing our part to help Singapore become a
and ONLY Smart Nation. In June, we became one of the four Performance
mechanical collaborators in a project that aims to bring public
smartwatch hybrid transport management to a new level with a new Governance
system called FASTER (Fusion AnalyticS for public
StarHub Ltd | Annual Report 2014 Transport Emergency Response). Financials

For this project, we are providing anonymised location
data of commuters. With a mobile market share of
around one-third, we are able to offer a meaningful
sample size for the study. The location data will then
be used for further pattern analysis, to help transport
operators make better decisions on how to react to
certain traffic conditions.

Crowdtivate
Our StarHub i3 development team has teamed up
with crowd-related consultancy Crowdonomic, to
co-manage Crowdtivate, which is the world’s only
telco-backed, rewards-based crowdfunding platform.
Since launch in July, hundreds of proposals have
been floated by entrepreneurs seeking support to get
their ideas off the ground. Out of which, we have put
forward 15 projects to seek funding and support from
this platform.

These 15 projects are not merely recycled ideas. Five
of the proposals are world-first and two are Asia-first.
They include the world’s first and only mechanical
smartwatch hybrid; there is also the world’s first
compact electricity-free bamboo speaker for any
mobile phone.

Crowdtivate provides mentorship and advice for the
entrepreneurs on how to create appealing campaigns.
We might also offer additional support like business
incubation and helping them reach out to a wider
regional audience. Other forms of support include free
software, start-up funding, and infrastructure.

We are excited that Indosat in Indonesia has launched
the Indonesian version of Crowdtivate in December,
opening up crowdfunding opportunities to the
Indonesian start-up community.
