However, even if the existing equipment can support 5G technology, 5G services are still difficult to popularize. What is needed to achieve large-scale applications? "?
Lenovo Group (0992) has long been secretly deployed to welcome the first year of 5G: the group launched the world's first commercial 5G mobile phone in 2018, and subsequently launched 5G laptops and 5G computers.

In places with a large number of people, the Internet speed will drop. As the Hong Kong government builds more base stations in the future, it will help improve The stability of 5G services.
In addition, the Kai Tak Sports Park will be completed in 2023. If 5G is used to broadcast different sports and entertainment events at the same time, "Maybe you may think that 5G is sufficient first, but it is too difficult to watch 8 channels at the same time.
