5G Coverage in Hong Kong
- 5G coverage in Hong Kong has reached over 90% of the population, covering all major business districts, shopping centres and Mass Transit Railway stations.
- The unique characteristics of 5G technology which supports ultra high speed, low latency and massive scale of machine type communications empower a wide spectrum of applications by individual users and business sectors.
5G Characteristics
- Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB)
- Supporting very high data download speed*
- Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC)
- Supporting communication of up to 1 million machine-type devices within 1 km2
- Ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC)
- Supporting mission critical applications and low latency communications with delay as low as 1 ms
* The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has set the targeted download speed for eMBB under ideal circumstances at 20 Gbps. However, the actual data download speed will be affected by various factors (including but not limited to the number of subscribers, user devices, network coverage, frequency bands and amount of spectrum used, network settings, quality of radio transmission and network traffic).
