“We are very excited about the successful bid for extra 900MHz and 1800MHz spectrums at reasonable prices. The 900MHz and 1800MHz spectrums are of the lower frequency bands that can provide wider coverage. The newly acquired spectrums will be integrated with our existing one, enriching the network bandwidth to bring a more prestigious mobile experience to our customers. China Mobile Hong Kong has always been dedicated to improving mobile network coverage and developing 5G network. Successfully bidding the new spectrum highlights our continuous investment in optimizing the existing network and demonstrates our commitment to providing quality services to our customers,” said Mr. Sean Lee, Director and Chief Executive Officer of China Mobile Hong Kong.
China Mobile Hong Kong has full confidence in the prospects of the mobile communication business in Hong Kong. The Company will continue to proactively enhance the future network development blueprint, providing customers with superb mobile broadband services with the latest network infrastructure and technologies.
