Hong Kong’s First and Largest B2B 5G Infrastructure Project

As one of the local operators with the most extensive 5G spectrum in Hong Kong, CMHK strongly believes that the 5G network is the foundation for smart city developments and digital transformation for different industries. Last year in July, CMHK was successfully commissioned the Hong Kong International Airport’s corporate 5G infrastructure project, which is Hong Kong’s first and largest business-to-business (B2B) 5G construction service on 5G.

Sean continues, “We are incredibly excited to have obtained the 5G infrastructure project. This is not only a confirmation of our efforts, but also a big step towards Hong Kong’s transformation into a smart city. As Hong Kong International Airport plays a pivotal role in international business, logistics and tourism, CMHK’s 5G network will further assist its leading advantage in these sectors. The unprecedented smart application solutions will help to develop a new generation of 5G technology and ultimately elevate the prospects for future developments of Hong Kong International Airport.”

Smart City and Digital Enterprises Development

Back in 2019, CMHK was the first to complete the 5G standalone network test and was also the first to roll out the ‘Network Slicing’ services in November 2020, offering corporate clients diverse 5G applications and a flexible combination of network services. At the same time, CMHK has been proactively collaborating with strategic partners, including finance, real estate developers, and property management projects to be launched. CMHK will continue to use its leading technology and abundance of resources to provide a superb and peerless 5G network experience for its corporate clients and individual consumers.
