Pacific Link's phones have a long reach at the Beach
Article Abstract:
Hong Kong's Pacific Link Communications Ltd. is focusing its marketing campaign on being the only mobile phone service that has the widest coverage when it comes to beaches. This was based on call trials conducted on Hong Kong's 30 beaches. Pacific Link claims that it had the most number of successful calls among four companies which participated in the beach test. It plans to beat HongKong Telecom, which has the widest coverage in the country's key commercial areas, by increasing its base stations from 250 to 320 by the end of 1996.
