News Summary:
China Mobile Hong Kong (CMHK) recently became the exclusive Internet of Things (IoT) service and system supplier for the Hong Kong Fire Services Department's "Pilot Scheme on IoT Fire Detection System," successfully assisting the department in completing the first phase of field testing on July 28, 2026. This development followed CMHK's announcement on June 23, 2026, that second-generation (2G) network operations in Hong Kong had been completely terminated, with approval from the Hong Kong Communications Authority, marking the official end of the 2G network era. Earlier, effective June 17, 2026, a new restriction, as noted on CMHK’s website, stipulated that Hong Kong prepaid mobile SIM cards could no longer be activated in mainland China, tightening access for some Chinese users to overseas internet services. Previously, on June 10, 2026, CMHK entered into a tripartite strategic partnership with BOC HONG KONG (BOCHK), through its BoC Pay+ mobile application, and JD-SW to promote the integrated development of "Finance + Telecom + Cross-border E-commerce." This series of events followed HKBN's amendment on April 9, 2026, to its master services agreement with majority shareholder CMHK, expanding the scope of HKBN data centre services and reflecting a deepening of their infrastructure collaboration.
