Sim Ann on mobile phone reception coverage in HDB lifts
Lifts in HDB developments are designed and installed in compliance with the prevailing codes and regulations, while mobile operators are required to provide more than 85 per cent service coverage in each building. There is no requirement to provide mobile coverage inside lifts. It is challenging to ensure good mobile coverage due to the enclosed metallic structure of lifts. Lifts in HDB developments are equipped with and monitored by a telemonitoring system which automatically detects a lift breakdown and alerts the lift maintenance contractors. Senior Minister of State for National Development Sim Ann said this in reply to an MP’s questions in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 5).
