All five locations have completed
the relevant 5G network upgrade works, marking further progress in 1O1O's
network enhancement efforts and supporting the everyday communication needs of
customers in different districts.
Located in So Kwun Wat, Tuen Mun,
Aegean Coast is one of the residential estates in the area. As demand for
mobile communications and online services continues to grow, 5G network quality
in residential neighbourhoods has become increasingly important.
1O1O has completed a 5G network
upgrade at Aegean Coast to further optimise the local mobile network
environment. Whether customers are making video calls with family and friends,
streaming videos or using social and lifestyle apps, good network connectivity
can help improve their daily experience.
Usage patterns in residential areas
differ from those in busy commercial districts. In addition to supporting
routine communications, the network must accommodate data demand at different
times of day. By continually improving its infrastructure, 1O1O aims to deliver
higher-quality mobile services to customers.
THE STEP, located on San Tam Road in
the San Tin area of Yuen Long, is one of Hong Kong's transitional housing
projects, providing accommodation and community support services for families
with housing needs.
As online learning, digital
communications and digital public services become more widely used, reliable
mobile connectivity is equally important to households and communities.
1O1O has completed a 5G network
upgrade at THE STEP, further enhancing the mobile connectivity environment at
the site. From looking up information and learning online to staying in touch
with family and friends, a 5G network can support a wide range of digital
activities.
This upgrade also demonstrates that
1O1O's network improvements extend beyond traditional commercial centres to
additional residential and community locations, responding to the connectivity
needs of different customers.
The Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hong Kong, Tseung Kwan O:
Supporting Connectivity at a Healthcare Facility
The Chinese Medicine Hospital of
Hong Kong is located on Pak Shing Kok Road, Tseung Kwan O. It is a Chinese
medicine healthcare institution that brings together clinical services,
research and education.
Mobile connectivity needs in and
around healthcare facilities are varied. Patients, family members, visitors and
staff may all need to use smartphones to access information, stay in contact or
use online services.
1O1O has completed a 5G network
upgrade at The Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hong Kong, continuing to improve
the mobile connectivity environment at the location.
For customers visiting the hospital,
mobile access can support journey planning, communication with family members
and other everyday digital services. A good network experience can help people
stay connected in different situations.
Cannon Street, Causeway Bay: Enhancing Connectivity in a
Busy Commercial Area
Causeway Bay is one of Hong Kong's
major shopping and business districts, home to retailers, restaurants and a
variety of commercial facilities, with diverse mobile data requirements.
As mobile payments, social media,
instant messaging and mobile working become more common, network capacity and
connection quality are particularly important in busy urban areas.
1O1O has completed a 5G network
upgrade on Cannon Street in Causeway Bay, continuing to improve the area's
mobile communications environment.
Office workers handling business
emails on the move, shoppers using mobile payments and visitors spending time
in the district can all benefit from ongoing improvements to network
infrastructure.
By taking account of the district's
usage patterns, 1O1O aims to support data-intensive applications and provide
customers with a smoother mobile network experience.
Tin Shui (1) Estate, Tin Shui Wai: Further Enhancing 5G in a
Residential Area
Tin Shui (1) Estate is a public
housing estate in Tin Shui Wai. As mobile internet access becomes an integral
part of everyday life, residential communities have growing needs for network
speed, reliability and data capacity.
1O1O has completed a 5G network
upgrade at Tin Shui (1) Estate, further enhancing the mobile network
environment at the location.
From students accessing online
learning materials and residents making video calls to everyday video viewing
and the use of mobile apps, 5G networks can support a broad range of digital
lifestyle needs.
This upgrade further reflects 1O1O's
focus on mobile network quality in New Territories residential communities and
its ongoing efforts to improve connectivity across Hong Kong.
What Are the Benefits of a 5G Network Upgrade? Three Key
Areas of Improvement
A 5G network upgrade is not simply
about achieving higher download speeds. Network capacity, connection
reliability and real-world operating conditions are also important. As
infrastructure improves at different locations, it can better support an increasingly
diverse range of mobile data applications.
1. Greater Network Capacity to Support Diverse Data Needs
Smartphone data consumption
continues to grow, from high-definition video viewing to cloud services. In
residential communities and busy commercial districts in particular, many
people may be using mobile networks simultaneously.
5G technology has the potential to
deliver greater network capacity, helping operators manage data transmission
needs more effectively in different environments.
Network capacity is an important
factor in customers' day-to-day experience. By continuing to upgrade its
network, 1O1O aims to strengthen its infrastructure to meet growing data
demand.
2. Better Connectivity for Everyday Work and Entertainment
Mobile networks are widely used for
work and daily life. Video meetings, file transfers, cloud collaboration,
high-definition streaming and mobile gaming each have different requirements
for network speed and responsiveness.
5G technology can support high-speed
data transmission and low-latency applications, creating more possibilities for
a variety of mobile services.
For customers who regularly use
smartphones for work or digital entertainment, an increasingly well-optimised
network environment can help improve the overall mobile internet experience.
3. Continued Coverage Improvements Across More Everyday
Settings
Hong Kong's districts differ in
building environments, pedestrian flows and network usage patterns. Network
upgrades therefore need to address not only busy commercial areas but also
residential communities, public facilities and other places where people spend
their time.
The five locations included in this
upgrade represent different usage environments. From residential communities in
Tuen Mun, Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai to a healthcare facility in Tseung Kwan O
and a commercial street in Causeway Bay, they demonstrate 1O1O's continuing
efforts to optimise Hong Kong's mobile network around everyday needs.
By progressing its network
improvement programme, 1O1O aims to help more customers enjoy quality 5G
service in their daily activities.
1O1O Continues to Advance 5G Network Development in Hong
Kong
As mobile communications technology
evolves, 5G is no longer just about faster downloads. It is also a vital
network foundation for cloud applications, real-time communications, mobile
entertainment and connected living.
1O1O has long prioritised network
quality and customer experience, continuing to invest resources in Hong Kong's
mobile network infrastructure.
The completion of 5G network
upgrades at Aegean Coast in Tuen Mun, THE STEP in Yuen Long, The Chinese
Medicine Hospital of Hong Kong, Cannon Street in Causeway Bay and Tin Shui (1)
Estate in Tin Shui Wai forms part of these ongoing efforts.
Looking ahead, 1O1O will continue to
enhance its mobile network in response to usage needs across different
districts, striving to provide customers with an even better 5G experience.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) | 1O1O 5G Network Upgrades
Q1: Will my mobile internet speed definitely increase after
a 5G network upgrade?
A 5G network upgrade aims to improve
network performance, but it does not mean internet speeds will increase by the
same amount in every situation.
Speeds can be affected by many
factors, including location, smartphone model, the number of users sharing the
network, building conditions and network configuration.
As a result, customers at an
upgraded location may still experience different levels of network performance.
Q2: Do I need to replace my smartphone or SIM card to use
the 1O1O 5G network?
Generally, 5G mobile access requires
a smartphone that supports the relevant 5G frequency bands and an eligible 5G
service plan.
If you already use a compatible 5G
smartphone and service, your device will normally connect to 5G automatically
where suitable network coverage is available.
Some network features may require
additional device, SIM card or service settings. Please refer to 1O1O's
official announcements for details.
Q3: Does a completed 5G upgrade mean the entire estate or
building has 5G coverage?
Not necessarily. 5G signal coverage
and reception may vary by floor, indoor or outdoor location, building structure
and surrounding network conditions.
The locations announced here have
completed the relevant network enhancement works. This does not mean every
indoor area, room or nearby location will have identical network performance.
Q4: What is the difference between 5G and 4G networks?
5G is the fifth generation of mobile
communications technology. Compared with 4G, it has the technical potential to
support faster data transmission, lower latency and greater network capacity.
For everyday users, 5G can better
support high-definition video streaming, cloud applications, video
communication and other services that require high data throughput.
Actual results will nevertheless
depend on network conditions, devices and the applicable service arrangements.
Q5: Will 1O1O continue to upgrade its 5G network in other
districts?
1O1O will continue to optimise its
mobile network across Hong Kong and progress network improvements in response
to usage needs in different districts.
Customers can follow 1O1O's official
website and social media channels for the latest information on 5G network
developments and upgrades.
Continuously Improving the Network to Connect More Everyday
Moments with 5G
From residential communities to busy
urban districts, mobile networks have become an important part of how people in
Hong Kong work, enjoy entertainment and go about daily life.
1O1O will continue to improve its 5G
network quality and infrastructure, striving to offer customers a more
comprehensive and smoother mobile communications experience.
Note: Actual
5G network coverage, speeds and user experience may vary depending on location,
indoor or outdoor conditions, device capabilities, network traffic, service
plan and other factors.
