3 Hong Kong has completed the first phase of a project to enhance its 4G network capacity at 18-high traffic MTR stations.
The company has upgraded its equipment at the concourses of the Tsim Sha Tsui, Prince Edward, North Point, Quarry Bay, Yau Tong, Jordan, Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei stations.
The whole project is expected to be complete by July 2019, and will involve upgrades throughout stations and tunnels to increase its 4G network capacity at the 18 MTR stations manyfold.
“Using mobile service at MTR stations has become an integral part of our daily lives. 3 Hong Kong is therefore working on 4G enhancement at 18 high-traffic MTR stations to boost capacity manyfold and strengthen the network,” 3 Hong Kong CTO of Mobile Daniel Chung said.
“The project is gradually being extended to other stations. We are constantly monitoring 3 Hong Kong’s network performance to ensure that customers enjoy an advanced mobile network featuring comprehensive coverage, high capacity, high speed and high reliability, outside and inside of MTR stations.”
