Y5ZONE is a Wi-Fi hotspot operator founded in 2003 by Billy Yeung. The company originated from a firm named Beenet, which, after a successful trial with Sun Hung Kai Properties in 2005, led to the establishment of Y5ZONE by founder Billy Yeung. Headquartered in Hong Kong, the firm provides wholesale wireless broadband services and has established a significant presence in the region.

The company's business model is centered on providing wireless network capacity to major mobile and telecom operators such as SmarTone, CSL, and formerly China Mobile. It operates as a Wi-Fi network wholesaler, building and managing hotspot networks that its partners' customers can then access. Y5ZONE has deployed thousands of hotspots in high-traffic public locations including shopping malls, restaurants, coffee shops, and transportation facilities across Hong Kong and mainland China. In addition to its wholesale services, Y5ZONE offers managed services like Wi-Fi network design, deployment, and auditing. It also previously offered various direct-to-consumer access plans, including prepaid passes and monthly plans.

A major milestone in the company's history was its acquisition by Hong Kong Broadband Network (HKBN) on December 1, 2012. Following the acquisition, Billy Yeung took on the role of Managing Director of HKBN's Wi-Fi Business, with plans to significantly expand the Wi-Fi network to 15,000 hotspots. While the company was founded in Singapore, its primary market is Hong Kong. The Singapore entity, Y5ZONE SINGAPORE PTE. LTD., was incorporated in 2012 and its principal activity was listed as mobile cellular and other wireless telecommunications network operation.
