Press Releases

Hong Kong, 20 September 2023 - 3Business, the corporate business brand of Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Limited (HTHK), has launched the 5G Flood Detection Solution for Smart Car Parks. The solution sends out flood alerts to property management companies before car parks experience flooding during heavy rainstorms, enabling them to make timely arrangements and reduce losses for car owners.

Take preventive measures before issues arise in extreme weather
Jess Mak, Vice President of Enterprise Market of Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Limited, said: "3Business has been actively introducing leading-edge and advanced corporate solutions. Following the successful launch of the highly acclaimed 5G AI Carpark solution, we have launched the 5G Flood Detection Solution for Smart Car Parks in response to the recent flooding and its frequent occurrences in Hong Kong. This solution aims to alert users to take preventive measures before issues arise and help mitigate the impact of natural disasters."

Highly sensitive detection with real-time notifications
Hong Kong experienced adverse weather conditions recently. Heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding in various districts, including underground car parks where vehicles were almost fully submerged. 3Business therefore has launched the new 5G flood detection solution tailored to the specific features of each car park.

A team of specialists will conduct site visits at car parks and strategically place highly sensitive smart sensors in suitable locations such as walls or near drainage areas. When heavy rainfall causes the water level in the car parks to rise to a certain threshold, the sensors will transmit real-time data to servers over HTHK's ultra-fast 5G network, which then connects to the cloud. Property management companies will be promptly notified via a mobile app, allowing them to make immediate arrangements, such as alerting car owners to move their cars to reduce potential losses.
