3 General Information Intended Audience This document is intended for businesses, venue owners, premise tenants ( Companies ) who are planning to procure Wireless@SG services from any of the designated Wireless@SG operators ( Operator ). Purpose The document aims to Illustrate some of the considerations and highlight some guidelines Companies should consider when planning for Wireless@SG deployments; Inform companies of the base specifications that are required for Wireless@SG hotspots. Companies can consider increasing some of the base specifications and including these as part of their requirements in their service contract with the Wireless@SG operators. Furnish a base contract for Wireless@SG hotspots for reference purposes. Structure This document is divided into 2 parts: 1. General Information on Wireless@SG 2. Procuring Wireless@SG services for Venues Page 3

4 1. General Information on About The programme was launched in 2006 to accelerate the deployment of high-speed wireless broadband, and promote wireless broadband lifestyle amongst citizens and catalyse the wireless broadband market in Singapore. Since its launch, has successfully catalysed Singapore s wireless broadband market, and spawned an always connected culture amongst Singaporeans. Over the years, the programme has introduced several new enhancements to improve user experience and drive adoption of innovative enterprise services. Beginning from April 2014, consumers get to enjoy faster basic access speed of up to 5 Mbps. Accessing the hotspots had been simplified where users can now seamlessly login using local SIM cards on supported smartphones and tablets without the need to enter their login credentials (user ID and password). For foreign visitors, they are now able to perform account registration at any Wireless@SG hotspot and obtain their login credentials via SMSs delivered to their foreign mobile numbers. The programme has also evolved to encourage operators to develop innovative enterprise services leveraging on the same Wireless@SG network. These innovative services will enable venue owners to be more productive, and at the same time, would generate revenue for operators, enabling a self-sustainable model to help support the continued provision of free Wi-Fi access to the public. Venue owners who desires to provide free Wi-Fi to their premises are encourage to work with Wireless@SG operators on commercial agreements. The Wireless@SG operators will need to explore with the venue owners to understand their business needs before extending the service coverage to their premises. Page 4

5 2. Procuring services for Venues Considerations for Planning and Deployment Companies need to consider the intended area of coverage, the capacity and type of crowd, as well as the availability of supporting infrastructure. These are factors that will be asked by the operators during the initial planning as well as the site survey so they can design the network infrastructure and configuration. Please refer to the appended Master Contract. Page 5

10 Terms and Conditions 1. Intended Coverage Area Companies will have to consider the size and environment of the desired coverage area. This, together with the expected crowd size and usage, will determine the number of APs and the degree of weatherproofing that will be required. Varying degrees of coverage include closed indoor environments such as lobbies or restaurants and retailers to outdoor environments such as roof gardens and taxi stands. The crowd size at these locations will also be considered as well as the type of applications that might be used. Existing Infrastructure From the physical infrastructure point of view, the location of the MDF or Main Frame room, the server room as well as the in relation to the desired coverage area will need to be identified for the network cabling. From the network perspective, IDA recommends that all newly deployed hotspots to have a backhaul of at least 100 Mbps bandwidth for sites with one access point. In the event that backhaul bandwidth utilization exceed 80% of its capacity limit for seven (7) consecutive days, or for more than ten (10) occurrences over a consecutive period of three (3) months, Companies shall engage the appointed Wireless@SG Operator for a recommendation for bandwidth upgrade. Equipment When setting up the infrastructure for Wireless@SG, Companies can choose to own the Wireless LAN equipment, or lease the equipment from the Operators as a managed service. As a best practice, Companies should also request that Operators declare the brand and model of the equipment in their contract. Each hotspot must also support twenty (20) concurrent devices at a minimum. However, the Wireless@SG programme requires that a downlink access speed of up to five (5) megabits per second (5 Mbps) be available per device at each hotspot. Companies can choose to increase the number of concurrent devices and as well as the downlink access speed above and beyond the programme requirements, but must adhere to the minimum. To illustrate an example, a hotspot with a backhaul bandwidth of 250 Mbps can support: Page 5

11 o o a maximum of fifty (50) concurrent devices with a downlink access speed of five (5) megabits per second, or a minimum of twenty (20) concurrent devices with a downlink access of five (5) megabits per second Guidelines around Wireless@SG Services The Wireless@SG service consists of two tiers of service basic services, which is free to general public; and premium services, which can be provided based on the Company s request, or as an additional Value-added Service by the Operator. The following describes some of the guidelines around the use of Wireless@SG equipment, services as well as the registration and authentication of users. Use of Wireless@SG equipment All Access Points shall be compliant with standards depicted by IDA and shall broadcast both Wireless@SG and Wireless@SGx Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs) for the purpose of providing Wireless@SG services at the Company s premise. IDA reserves the right to stipulate additional SSIDs where necessary for basic tier service. The Network must support at least 16 SSIDs and a different set of services can be provided with each SSID. Each access point shall be able to support both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, and all equipments and elements within the network shall be IPv6 ready by 31 March It shall be able to support devices/clients that are certified by Wi-Fi Alliance, Wireless Broadband Alliance, Next Generation Hotspots, and typeapproved by IDA. Access points have to be dual-band ready (2.4GHz & 5GHz). The Network shall be configured to prioritise 5GHz channels as the preferred connectivity option for client devices.the access point deployed should be able to support a/b/g/n/ac devices. Companies may broadcast their own SSIDs for premium tier service. Basic Tier Service All deployed Wireless@SG hotspots must offer a basic tier service ( Basic Services ) free to the general public. Basic Services shall offer unlimited service plans with a downlink access speed of up to 5 megabits per second and uplink access speed of up to 2.5 megabits per second. Companies can consider requiring network speeds above and beyond the above in their service contract with the operators. The Network must allow access to applications such as, but not limited to, , internet browsing, instant messaging, peer-to-peer programs, virtual private network ( VPN ) tunnelling, voice over Internet Protocol ( VOIP ), online gaming, video-streaming, and video-conferencing provided that such applications are in compliance with standard-based technology and the bandwidth requirements of Basic Services at all times. Ports used by these applications shall not be blocked. The Network must also be capable of supporting traffic originated from multicast protocol within the bandwidth Page 6

12 requirements of Basic Services. However, Operators will be allowed to take appropriate actions if any user of such applications poses a threat to the health and security of the Network. Premium Tier Service Company can also choose to offer paid premium tier services ( Premium Services ) that provide better quality of service and/or more services than Basic Services. Companies may also choose to procure additional services/products from the operators. These include support for advertising and surveillance applications, Data analytics and location-specific applications for targeting marketing. Company shall engage Operator to put in place mechanisms to support the management of Hotspots resources for both the basic and premium tier services. Roaming Support The Network must allow registered users of all network operators operating a Wireless@SG branded network ( Wireless@SG Operators ) to roam in its Network. Registration and Authentication for Wireless@SG Users Users of the Wireless@SG service will need to login using their Wireless@SG account credentials to access the Wireless@SG service. There are three methods for user authentication: 1) Universal Access Method (via Web Login) Registered users can access the Wireless@SG service via a captive web portal by entering their account credentials to access the Wireless@SG service 2) Extensible Authentication Protocol Method PEAP (via App Login) The App Login shall authenticate the Wireless@SG users to the Wireless@SG network using IEEE 802.1x authentication framework with Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol version 0 / Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2 (PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2) authentication method. 3) Extensible Authentication Protocol Method SIM (via SIM Login) This method allows the Wireless@SG network to authenticate users based on the identification details stored in the users 3G/4G SIM card after a one time configuration. Operators shall implement GSM Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-SIM) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Authentication and Key Agreement (EAP-AKA) and the like in all of its Wireless@SG Hotspots.
