Hong Kong, 15 May 2023 - Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Limited (HTHK) and
HKBN Group (HKBN) today announced the expansion of their strategic collaboration. On top
of their existing Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) collaboration, the duo will
broaden their collaboration to target the growing needs of the enterprise market with 5G
mobile, fixed telecom network services and system integration (SI). Leveraging their
competitive advantages in technology and network service, HTHK and HKBN will help
corporate customers deploy one-stop digital solutions, thereby expanding their market
share in various sectors like finance, retail chain stores and public utilities.
The collaboration aims to provide advanced 5G mobile solutions, fibre optic network and
all-round diversified fixed-mobile convergence (FMC), and information and
communications technology (ICT) services to all enterprises in Hong Kong, comprehensively
addressing their technical needs.
Kenny Koo, Executive Director and CEO of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong
Holdings Limited (HTHKH), said: "Having previously worked closely with HKBN, we are now
exploring ways to expand our strategic collaboration to a broader level. By combining
HTHK's robust 5G network with HKBN's fixed network services, we can reap the benefits of
fixed-mobile convergence with the provision of innovative 5G and fixed telecom network
enterprise solutions together. HTHK's 5G network boasts high-speed, ultra-low latency and
99% network coverage across the territory. The collaboration will not only help corporate
customers embark on a digital transformation journey, raise their operational efficiency,
but also reinforce our position in the business-to-business market."
William Yeung, HKBN Co-Owner and Executive Vice-chairman, shared: "We're taking our
already exceptional collaboration with HTHK to a whole new level as we jointly set up a
dedicated team to expand our presence in the corporate market, pursuing opportunities in
5G, network solutions, and digital transformation. Enterprise customers, especially those in
the finance and retail industries, are increasing their demand for network services and
digital solutions under the new normal. By leveraging our unique tri-carrier network and
HTHK's innovative 5G mobile network solutions, we can achieve great synergy and win
together by offering competitive and full-range telecom and ICT services for customers."
