3 Hong Kong has launched its 5G service targeting both individual and enterprise customers.
3 Hong Kong’s 5G base stations are served by a 10Gbps optical-fibre backhaul network, and 5G service is expected to cover the entire territory within the year.
3 Hong Kong’s 5G network will ensure outdoor coverage in Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mongkok, Sham Shui Po, Shatin and Tai Po in phase-one.
In addition, 3 Hong Kong’s 5G network will ensure indoor coverage in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, as well as Hongkong Land’s Grade-A shopping malls such as the Landmark Atrium, One and Two Exchange Square, Chater House, Alexandra House and Prince’s Building.
