Innovation remains central to Singtel's approach. Its Paragon platform provides a unified interface that simplifies how enterprises orchestrate 5G networks, edge computing, GPU resources, and multi-cloud deployments. The platform enables real-time network slicing, autonomous resource optimization, seamless multi-cloud application management, and curated marketplace access to pre-integrated third-party applications.

Anchored by Paragon and hyperconnected, sustainable AI-ready data centres, RE:AI delivers scalable and compliant AI infrastructure that supports mission-critical workloads across regulated sectors.
"We seek to be a catalyst for enterprise innovation and growth through our diverse regional infrastructure portfolio. With Paragon, we've simplified the deployment and management of AI, IoT and other advanced applications seamlessly for enterprises across sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare and aviation. Paragon also helps telcos to monetize network APIs and build sovereign AI factories within their own countries. It is gratifying to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan for the strength and scale of our AI infrastructure, orchestration capabilities and partner ecosystem as well as unwavering commitment to customers," said Manoj Prasanna Kumar, Chief Technology Officer, Digital InfraCo, Singtel.
