Singtel Digital InfraCo’s patented orchestration platform, Paragon, has earned industry recognition for advancing multi-network and multi-cloud orchestration across edge, public and AI clouds in the region. Recent awards clinched underscore the platform’s role in enabling AI and mission-critical applications that require assured network quality of service, driving transformation across telcos and enterprises.
Paragon, the industry’s first all-in-one orchestration platform, was most recently named winner of the platform award at the World Communication Awards 2025, which honours innovative technology that delivers real-world impact in telecommunications globally. Paragon also received Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 Asia Pacific 5G and Multi-Infrastructure AI Orchestration Enabling Technology Leadership Award, which recognised it for enabling intelligent automation and digital innovation through real-time network slicing, autonomous resource optimisation, seamless multi-cloud application management and curated marketplace access to third-party applications.
Mr Bill Chang, Chief Executive Officer, Digital InfraCo, Singtel, said, “As new technologies emerge at an unprecedented pace, telcos and enterprises need platforms that can adapt just as quickly. We designed and built Paragon for versatility, enabling diverse sectors to significantly reduce complexity and time to deploy AI, hybrid compute and multinetwork technologies. We are honoured by the industry recognition Paragon has received as we continue to enhance its capabilities to help businesses evolve and drive value in a dynamic technology landscape.”

Developed in-house by Singtel and patented across eight countries, Paragon unifies and centrally orchestrates 5G networks, edge compute infrastructure and services. As AI adoption accelerates across Singapore and the wider region, platforms like Paragon that can orchestrate hybrid AI infrastructure and multi-networks are becoming more essential. Three quarters of enterprise AI workloads in Asia Pacific are expected to run on hybrid, fit-for-purpose infrastructure by 2027, and four in five CIOs plan to rely on edge services to meet AI inferencing performance and compliance needs.
Paragon enables enterprises to cut execution time from weeks or days to minutes and seconds as well as accelerate the creation of mission-critical applications including drones, autonomous vehicles and augmented reality use cases by managing network service quality on demand. Its impact has been demonstrated through collaborations with organisations like Hitachi Digital to accelerate enterprise digital transformation.
Mr Frank Antonysamy, Chief Growth Officer, Hitachi Digital, said, “Our collaboration with Singtel to bring AI services to both Hitachi’s internal teams and our customers has strengthened our ability to scale AI innovation and deliver meaningful outcomes to our customers and our businesses, worldwide. By leveraging Singtel’s Paragon platform, we are accelerating the deployment of enterprise-grade AI, in Hitachi’s NVIDIA AI Factory across our business. The use cases deployed are in physical AI across manufacturing and operations and maintenance of assets, to the use of large language models for intelligent equipment troubleshooting, and the optimisation of performance across our operations.”
Singtel continues to expand Paragon’s ecosystem through partnerships with hyperscalers and leading technology providers, while deepening integration with its sovereign AI cloud service, RE:AI. These initiatives ensure consistent orchestration across connectivity, compute and GPUs, enabling enterprises across industries including manufacturing, healthcare and transportation to deploy large-scale and even regulated and data-sensitive AI workloads with confidence. Paragon has also helped telcos capitalise on this trend and unlock new revenue streams by monetising network APIs and establishing sovereign AI factories within their own markets.
