Hong Kong’s first 5G experience showcase

According to a recent report, the largest telecommunications operator in Hong Kong and a property company have jointly held what they are calling Hong Kong’s first in-mall 5G experience showcase.
The Future is Now 5G Experience Showcase, which was held over four days, comprised six experience zones intended to introduce ad demonstrate 5G technology. These zones were based around concepts including autonomous vehicles, smart glasses and a machine that purports to be unbeatable at the game of rock-paper-scissors by using 5G leased lines and a sensory system to detect gestures as they are thrown. Other zones highlighted the speed improvement between 4G and 5G, the potential of 5G technology in smart city development and a start-up exhibition based on IoT technology. The chairman of the telco noted that out of Hong Kong’s many mobile carriers, the telecommunications firm is the first network provider to receive the 5G trial permit, and has succeeded in engineering Hong Kong’s first end-to-end 5G network testing as well as the first Commercial Equipment Field-Testing of 28GHz 5G base stations.
