From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
iCELL Network Pte Ltd was a Singapore-based wireless infrastructure provider. It was, at one time in the 2000s, one of the three operators of the Wireless@SG programme in Singapore.
The company was formed in 2004, spun off from PC-Connect, a company focusing on systems' integration, which, in turn, was spun off from Neat Technologies in 2002.[2]
The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) selected iCELL to be one of the three initial service providers for Wireless@SG. iCELL was eventually dropped from the programme in July 2013, when the company's proposal did not meet IDA's requirements for the next deployment phase of the programme.[3]
In 2015, Chua Thiong Kien was sentenced to six months imprisonment for cheating the Infocommunications Development Authority of Singapore. While iCELL was part of the Wireless@SG project, Chua submitted an expense of $379,200 to the IDA, the authority over Wireless@SG; included in the expenses was an invoice for 425 Internet cameras from PC Connect. In reality, only 44 cameras were actually purchased; Chua himself was still a director at PC Connect and had directed PC Connect to create the invoice for 425 cameras.[4]
