Being the first to introduce the innovative millimeter wave ("mmWave") technology running on 26GHz to 28GHz spectrum to the market, Docomo Business aims to help Hong Kong enterprises build a private 5G network to support the massive demand for uplink-centric IoT and Mission-Critical (Push-to-everything (PTX) with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), text and video) applications running on a single robust wireless network.

Combining the well-established full-service portfolio of NTT, the extension of Docomo Business' managed Private 5G service to Hong Kong not only provides the backbone infrastructure to deploy ready-to-market Internet of Things ("IoT") solutions at speed, but also offers fully managed services for ongoing operations and upkeep of the network.

Docomo has conducted approximately 850 projects from service to launch. Through its 5G Open Partner Program, Docomo has collaborated with over 5,200 partners with the aim of creating innovative 5G services.
"Docomo Business has always been a visionary technology pioneer. We have been allocating significant information and communications technology ("ICT") investments to Hong Kong for the ongoing benefit of our customers over the years. Bringing Docomo Business to Hong Kong is a strong testament to our confidence in the city's massive growth opportunities and solidifies the vision of offering businesses here an accelerated start to enterprise 5G network running on true mmWave technology."
