With Hong Kong’s First Localized Wireless Broadband System (Private) License, the newly launched docomo 5G DX Square provides innovators a stable and scalable wireless backbone for future smart city POCs.
NTT Com Asia (NTT) is giving smart city development in Hong Kong a significant boost by establishing a technology and innovation ecosystem with the launch of docomo 5G DX Square, an innovation lab designed from the ground up to enable local innovators co-develop new AI, Edge and Private 5G (P5G) applications within Hong Kong’s first-of-its-kind P5G environment. NTT is the first service provider to receive the Localized Wireless Broadband System (Private) License from Hong Kong’s Office of the Communications Authority (OFCA).

In late June, passengers traveling between Beijing Daxing International Airport and Yizhuang, a southern district of Beijing, were able to choose, if they like, the services provided by driverless robotaxis, with just a few clicks on their mobile phones.
Although for security concerns, these robotaxis are operating under the supervision of safety drivers behind the wheels, this breakthrough in the commercialization of self-driving technology marks a significant step for Beijing's intelligent transportation.

As the world grapples with the impact of climate change, the need for sustainable urban development has never been more pressing, especially in the rapidly developing regions of Asia. This rapid urbanisation, if not managed properly, can exacerbate issues like pollution, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions – all of which contribute to climate change.
The rise of "smart cities" offers a promising solution. By leveraging advanced technologies like the Internet of Things, big data analytics, and renewable energy, smart cities have the potential to significantly reduce a city’s environmental footprint while improving the quality of life for residents.
Shanghai is tackling city management challenges with a new smart system.
A smart urban management project led by Shanghai Engineering Design Institute, the city's major infrastructure designer, will be launched soon after passing inspection.
The platform, developed under a national key research plan on smart urban management, is being tested at 20 infrastructure sites in Shanghai.
