China Mobile has invested nearly HK$10 billion (US$1.28 billion) over five years to enhance Hong Kong's role as a global computing hub. The company aims to integrate Hong Kong into China's national computing network, which ranks second globally in computing capacity. The newly inaugurated data center in Fo Tan is China Mobile's second in the city, complementing its first facility established in 2014. This expansion is part of a broader trend where Hong Kong is positioned as a key player in Asia's data center market, driven by increasing demand for AI and hyperscale computing. The combined capacity of both data centers exceeds 13,000 server racks, indicating significant infrastructure growth. The developments reflect a strategic move to bolster connectivity and data exchange in the region.
