Autonomous vehicles are quickly becoming a reality, driven by the high-speed and low-latency capabilities of Three’s 5G network.
Three Hong Kong recently provided 5G connectivity to Hong Kong’s first fleet of autonomous trucks at Hong Kong International Terminals (HIT).
Beyond sensors and positioning systems, the infrastructure requires seamless, real-time communication between the vehicle and the control room.
This project marks a significant milestone in Three’s journey, showcasing the real-world impact of 5G on industrial automation. As the global autonomous vehicle market is expected to grow annually at a rate of over 32% between 2026 and 2034, Three is well positioned to drive the next wave of smart infrastructure.
Reliable connectivity is critical to making these vehicles work. Beyond sensors and positioning systems, the infrastructure requires seamless, real-time communication between the vehicle and the control room. Three Hong Kong’s ultra high-speed, low-latency 5G Golden Spectrum provides exactly that, enabling HIT to implement a range of smart applications across its terminals.
To ensure smooth operations, the Three Hong Kong team also carried out extensive network testing and optimisation.
Since 2020, 5G base stations have been deployed across HIT’s container terminals, creating the city’s first 5G-enabled terminals and laying the groundwork for smart port development.
With Three Hong Kong now rolling out 5G mmWave across the port, new high-bandwidth solutions are unlocking further opportunities for the future of maritime logistics.
