πŸ€” Have you ever wondered why Bluetooth is called Bluetooth?

We've been using this more than two-decades-old tech to connect our wireless devices, and more recently, as a key component in TraceTogether.

While the tech itself has evolved over the years, two things remain true:
1️⃣ It's still about short-range transmission
2️⃣ It uses a low amount of power

Watch the video or read the full article to find out how it got its name:

⚑️ #Newsflash ⚑️
GovTech has collaborated with Sentosa Development Corporation and Singtel to launch the first set of 5G public sector trials on Sentosa island yesterday!

A total of 10 trials are being conducted under the 5G@Sentosa programme with technology supplied by Singtel and GovTech. The number of trials will increase to at least 30 by the first half of 2023. The programme will test the use of the next-generation connectivity in areas such as construction, manufacturing, healthcare and tourism.

These trials will allow the government agencies to track the capabilities of 5G for various Smart Nation applications with the goal to roll them out on the mainland in the next five years.
