Dr. Li Feng, Chairman of CMHK says: “Earlier this year, CMHK was assigned 26GHz and 28 GHz bands. Hong Kong is well poised to reap the benefits of 5G technology. CMHK will actively participate in the government’s 5G bands auction starting in October this year. We look forward to digitalising the lifestyle of the public with our continuous effort in infrastructural development as well as a comprehensive network. We hope to further promote the implementation of 5G and the development of Hong Kong as a smart city connected by technology.”

CMHK’s newest flagship store has two floors, comprising over 2,800 square feet. It is located in the heart of Central on Des Voeux Road Central. The design of this store is in a sleek silver-grey tone with unobstructed floor-to-ceiling windows, a simple look that highlights the technology on display. The store also features a 270-degree panoramic ultra-wide screen that showcases the futuristic digital transformations brought by 5G.
The 5G Experience Zone is located on the 1/F of the flagship store, exhibiting a wide spectrum of 5G capabilities to customers.

CMHK has responded positively to the company’s “5G+” Project aimed at complementing the existing 4G network with 5G infrastructure. This will help to seamlessly integrate 5G into Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud, Big Data, Edge Computing and other information and communications technology. Extending this 5G+ ecosystem into the wider society, the vision of “5G+X”, will not only result in a higher quality of living, but it will also bring Hong Kong closer to becoming an International Innovation and Technology Hub.
