The government is trying to complete the city’s 5G base stations next year, Lau Wai Meng, director of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau (CTT), said yesterday.
Lau made the comments during a press conference held at the bureau’s headquarters in Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro, where her bureau launched two new stamp collections.
Lau said that the legislative process for the 5G service was still going on, and that the bureau was striving to complete the 5G base stations for next year. She did not say how many 5G base stations will be installed.
Lau also said that the size of the 5G base stations were smaller so that more could be installed than the 4G base stations. According to Lau, some of the stations will be installed on government premises, as for their installation on private properties the city’s telecom operators needed to discuss this issue with the property owners first.
