Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile, and Far EasTone are ramping up 5G SA network infrastructure, targeting 50-80% coverage by year-end to prepare for 6G.

What Happened

Infrastructure Rollout: Taiwan's three major telecom operators—Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile, and Far EasTone—are aggressively expanding their 5G Standalone (SA) network infrastructure. By increasing capital expenditure, the companies aim to reach 50% to 80% coverage by the end of the year to enhance network performance.

Strategic Initiatives: Chunghwa Telecom has launched a Pre-6G strategy focusing on urban areas, while Taiwan Mobile anticipates reaching 80% coverage to support AI-driven applications. Far EasTone has integrated SA network construction into its annual budget to ensure consistent progress.

Service Differentiation: Beyond infrastructure, the operators are introducing differentiated services and exclusive tariff plans based on 5G SA technology. These offerings, which include support for flagship devices like the iPhone, are designed to improve user experience and attract high-value customers.

Future Outlook: The comprehensive rollout of 5G SA serves as a critical foundation for the upcoming 6G era. This competitive push is not merely about network coverage but represents a strategic move to lead in digital transformation and smart service applications.
