Market-leading upload and download speeds
Speedtest has conducted a 5G network test in Hong Kong from October 2020 to January 2021, and has again affirmed CMHK’s extraordinary 5G network. CMHK’s upload and download data speeds recorded impressive results of 32.54 Mbps and 211.53 Mbps respectively. Relying on its superior 5G network, CMHK is besting the other three local operators’ download speeds by nearly double, demonstrating phenomenal internet speed performance with its undoubted strength.
As a local operator with the largest 5G spectrum in Hong Kong, the remarkable test performance arises from CMHK’s possession of the largest number of 3.5GHz spectrums — often referred to as the "5G Prime Frequency Band" — and being the only 5G network provider in Hong Kong currently acquired the 3.3GHz (3380-3400MHz) and 3.5GHz (3400-3460MHz) of continuous bandwidth spectrum (80 MHz in total). By flexibly allocating the 3.3GHz and 3.5GHz spectrums for indoor network optimization, CMHK effectively provides an excellent customer experience with comprehensive and seamless 5G coverage, thus allowing access to the extreme speeds of 5G networks, anytime and anywhere.
The official commission of the 5G Standalone Network
Prospecting the future, CMHK continues its commitment in establishing a superlative and reliable 5G network, launching its latest high-speed transmission and low latency 5G Standalone Network to prompt the wide application and integration of 5G network technology into everyday life and various industries., thereby accelerating the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) across different industries and ultimately elevating Hong Kong to a smart metropolis with unlimited opportunities.
