HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 1 April 2021 – Since 2020, China Mobile Hong Kong (CMHK) has taken the lead in establishing the fastest and leading 5G mobile network in Hong Kong. On its first anniversary, CMHK was verified as the “Fastest 5G Network in Q4 2020” based on consumer initiated tests taken using Speedtest® by Ookla®, the internet test for measuring network speed*. According to the report Speedtest® presented in the CMHK’s press conference, showcasing CMHK’s 5G upload and download data speed recorded market-leading results from December 2020 to February 2021, three consecutive months**. In February this year, CMHK’s 5G network attained an download and upload speed at 210Mbps and 32Mbps, respectively – leveraging the abundant spectrum resources to provide a superior and unapparelled 5G network.
Mr. Sean Lee announces the new 5G service plan and the upcoming plans for CMHK
Ookla, the company behind Speedtest®, is the global leader in fixed broadband and mobile network testing applications, data and analysis. Over ten million tests are actively initiated by consumers each day across all Speedtest platforms, with nearly 35 billion completed to date. As a result, Ookla has the most comprehensive analytics on worldwide internet performance and accessibility. Ookla solutions have been adopted by a significant number of internet service providers and mobile carriers worldwide and have been translated into over 30 languages for use by thousands of businesses, governments, universities and trade organizations. Ookla’s headquarters are located in Seattle, WA with additional offices in Dublin, Ireland.
Mr. Sean Lee, Director and Chief Executive Officer of China Mobile Hong Kong explains, “We are excited and proud that CMHK’s 5G network has been recognized by Speedtest®, which reflects our resources and efforts invested in building a high-quality and reliable 5G network. Through our state-of-the-art 5G network and cutting-edge technology, CMHK will continue to provide our customers with more innovative 5G services, paving the way into a new era of connectivity and smart living.
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.
