Briefing on the Revised PNAP APP-84 for the New Provision of Mobile Access Facilities under Regulation 28A of the Building (Planning) Regulations

To facilitate the expansion of the fifth generation mobile (5G) network coverage in Hong Kong, section 14 of the Telecommunications Ordinance (Cap. 106) was amended so that unified carrier licensees with authority to provide public mobile radiocommunications services (hereafter referred to as mobile network operators, or MNOs) are granted access right to place and maintain radiocommunications facilities, i.e. mobile communications facilities in specified buildings. To implement the new initiative, PNAP APP-84 has been revised to set out the new requirements for provision of access facilities for mobile services (MAF) in private buildings. The new requirements are applicable to new or major revision of general building plans (GBP) of specified buildings approved on or after 1 April 2025.
