China Mobile Hong Kong's (CMHK) recently opened Hong Kong's first ever 5G Experience Store to the public, making a great leap forward into the 5G era, with the licensing of 3.3GHz, 3.5GHz and 4.9GHz bands just around the corner.
CMHK's newest flagship store has two floors, comprising over 2,800 square feet. It is located in the heart of Central on Des Voeux Road Central. The design of this store is in a sleek silver-grey tone with unobstructed floor-to-ceiling windows, a simple look that highlights the technology on display. The store also features a 270-degree panoramic ultra-wide screen that showcases the futuristic digital transformations brought by 5G.
The 5G Experience Zone is located on the 1/F of the flagship store, exhibiting a wide spectrum of 5G capabilities to customers. These include live demonstrations of 5G's low latency and high volume transmission over multiple simultaneous connections with showcases such as the "Remote Claw Robot Arm" and "Portable Live Broadcast Backpack". Customers can also find the Smart Home Zone on the 1/F, where they can get their hands on all sorts of new digitalised products and discover how 5G and NB-IoT will work together to make life easier at home.

Earlier this year, CMHK was assigned 26GHz and 28 GHz bands. Hong Kong is well poised to reap the benefits of 5G technology. CMHK will actively participate in the government's 5G bands auction starting in October this year.
