Cellular IoT Air Interface Training Course in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is officially known as the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (HKSAR) and is a city and special administrative region of China on the eastern Pearl River Delta in South China. Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world, with over 7.5 million population. The official languages of the HKSAR are Chinese and English. Hong Kong is a highly developed territory and ranks fourth on the United Nations Human Development Index and the residents of Hong Kong have the highest life expectancies in the world.

The best time to visit Hong Kong is from September to December, since the temperatures, averaging between 19 to 28 degree Celsius. During this outdoor activities-friendly travelling season, you can take a walk along Victoria Harbour, visit the islands of Lantau, Lamma and Cheung Chau and participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Top choices of the tourists to visit in Hong Kong are Big Buddha statue, Wong Tai Sin Temple, Repulse Bay and the Beaches and Hong Kong Disneyland.

Explore our diverse range of IT courses, encompassing programming, software development, cyber security, data science, business skills, and Agile/Scrum. Wherever you are in Hong Kong, our seasoned instructors will bring practical training and expert knowledge to your preferred training venue.
