SmarTone this week launched its 5G service in Hong Kong, offering blazing fast 5G connectivity with the widest network coverage both indoors and outdoors.
SmarTone is also introducing a range of innovative 5G services and applications for different customer segments and enterprises. SmarTone offers a competitive and flexible 5G monthly plan which allows customers to choose top-up options according to their usage needs. For HK$398/month, customers can enjoy a total of 80GB 5G local data, 2GB Greater Bay Area (GBA) roaming data with a China mobile number, and get additional SIM cards if needed. For high usage customers, they can also upgrade to unlimited 5G data at HK$80 at a speed of 5Mbps on a monthly basis. With “Smart Data Bank” service, customers can carry forward un-used mobile data to maximise use. Customers can carry forward up to 500GB local data and 10GB GBA data respectively.
Riding on its powerful LTE network and Ericsson’s Dynamic Spectrum Technology (DSS), SmarTone’s 5G network features a speedy rollout with the widest coverage across Hong Kong and a seamless transition between 4G and 5G. This can ensure a stable and smooth user experience and longer smartphone battery performance. SmarTone adopts an integrated approach of combining high, mid and low spectrum bands to build a robust 5G network in Hong Kong. 3.5GHz spectrum will be progressively deployed across the territory. At popular places and busy locations, 3.5GHz can also provide ample capacity and support to the 5G applications that require high bandwidth. In the initial stage, SmarTone’s 5G network covers the most outdoor locations, popular indoor locations and major roads and highways for commuting customers.
