Hong Kong fixed and mobile operator HKT has unveiled a new digital transformation initiative under the name ‘Project Earth’ which encompasses future businesses such as 5G mobile systems, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). The scheme is being carried out in partnership with equipment vendor Huawei. The telco says the objective of its transformation project is to establish new cloud-based infrastructure and platforms to enhance the digital capabilities of its operations and its offerings to customers.
Peter Lam, Managing Director of HKT Engineering, said: ‘In the digital era, customers expect services to be user-centric, responsive, user-defined and self-served … We are building a new cloud-based platform as a solid foundation for future-oriented operations and networks. This will enable us to unlock the enormous potential of digital services for customers and for future business growth.’
