CTM is a privately owned telecommunications company headquartered in Macau. Founded in 1981, it employs approximately 110 individuals. Functioning as a telecom provider, the company operates with a monopoly franchise license from the government for telecommunications services, with the exception of mobile telephone services.
On October 2, 2026, CTM actively embraced the national quantum strategy, designing a quantum-secured framework to build an integrated Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)-communication network security foundation. This initiative aims to reinforce digital security across the Greater Bay Area and enhance end-to-end transmission security of critical data, countering emerging network security challenges posed by quantum computing. Previously, on September 15, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau (CTT) announced that Hutchison Telephone (Macau) would cease operations after November 30, with its existing customers transferring to CTM. This followed news from September 14, where Hutchison Telephone (Macau), operating as 3 Macau, confirmed its mobile operations would cease on December 1. This exit leaves CTM and state-owned China Telecom Macau as the remaining mobile operators, following CTM's MOP 10 million acquisition of Hutchison's operations earlier in the year.
