3HK confirms service to start in August
July 3, 2003
Hutchison Whampoa said overwhelming consumer response to 3 in Europe
and Australia has given rise to an unexpectedly strong demand for 3G handsets,
resulting in handsets being shipped to these markets first to meet the
surge in customer orders. Hence, Hutchison 3G HK(3HK) is expected to launch
its 3G services this August.
In the meantime, 3G service trials in Hong Kong are underway for internal
users and related business associates, designed to test 3HK's 3G services
ahead of the full rollout in August. Marketing programs for 3 are also
gathering pace, including online registration, lucky draws and advertising
billboards at key commercial districts in the territory.
The service trials follow the completion of the construction of Hong
Kong's first 3G network. Ahead of Hutchison 3G networks going live in
the UK and Italy, 3HK has teamed with NEC in order to provide the network
to Hong Kong consumers. Hence, 3HK has appointed NEC and Siemens as joint
suppliers of the radio access network covering radio network controllers,
radio base stations and network management system, whilst Nokia has been
retained as the supplier of the core network. The 3G infrastructure is
based on WCDMA technology and is fully compliant to the international
specifications set by 3GPP.
Mrs Agnes Nardi, Managing Director of Hutchison Telecom (HK), said, "Our
readiness for 3 service launch is in good progress. The network and system
infrastructure are developed and the results of the service trials are
encouraging. Our marketing programs have commenced and will increasingly
build up brand awareness for launch. We are confident that we will deliver
the first 3G services with unrivalled quality in Hong Kong, bringing the
local mobile market into a new exciting era of video and multimedia communications."
