Press Release: 5G Demo Day Unlocks New Industrial Possibilities
5G Private Network "One-Stop" Solution Boosts Industrial Transformation! Demo Day Focuses on Equipment Testing and Cross-Domain Applications, Accelerating Enterprise Digital Upgrading
To address the two core pain points faced by enterprises when adopting 5G dedicated spectrum and private networks—"How to choose equipment?" and "Where are the applications?"—the Administration for Digital Industries (ADI) under the Ministry of Digital Development (MODA) promoted the "5G Demo Day Unlocking New Industrial Possibilities" event, which successfully concluded on November 6 at the NTUH International Convention Center. This event provided a comprehensive and in-depth showcase of the versatility and practical implementation capabilities of 5G private networks. It offered a "one-stop experience" through the presentation of private network implementation results and trend observations, experience sharing from equipment suppliers, and industry application case studies, laying a solid foundation for accelerating enterprise digital upgrading.
The Minister of Digital Development stated in his address that 5G's high bandwidth and low latency have driven its widespread application across various industries. He emphasized that technological innovation and development should stem from free and fair competition among the private sector, as private sector forces are the key drivers for the demand side. When enterprises using Wi-Fi find the latency too high or the bandwidth insufficient, they will naturally seek out 5G private networks as a solution. On the supply side, vendors will also consider how to apply 5G technology in different scenarios to create more revenue and business opportunities.
The Minister further pointed out that the Ministry of Digital Development's 5G Private Network Program has two main objectives. The first is to assist the demand side in solving problems, focusing on how to help business operators increase revenue and reduce expenditures. Secondly, the program is dedicated to enabling suppliers to introduce their products into the international market by standardizing, modularizing, and productizing their offerings, allowing them to gain a foothold in the global market.
Insight into Trends and Infrastructure: Lowering the Barrier for Enterprise Adoption
The first session focused on introducing infrastructure and equipment solutions, aiming to lower the barrier for enterprises to adopt 5G private networks.
First, the Institute for Information Industry (III) shared the implementation results and application potential of 5G private networks. They pointed out that 5G private network applications in Taiwan have accumulated 136 approved cases, with the largest number of cases in the Smart Manufacturing field. It also widely covers diverse application domains such as arts and cultural performance, medical care, education, energy, and transportation. This achievement not only highlights the broad potential of 5G private networks in promoting the digitization and intelligent development of local industries but also confirms that domestic vendors already possess the capability to provide cross-domain solutions, effectively assisting enterprises in creating new operational models and competitive advantages with 5G technology.
Subsequently, three equipment suppliers presented specific solutions and successful implementation experiences.
•TAYAR presented on "Opportunities and Challenges for Enterprises Facing AI RAN," showcasing the first domestic core network capable of running on the cloud. They emphasized AI automated management and remote delivery of equipment settings, which reduces costs by five times and simplifies private network deployment and cloud management, accelerating digital transformation.
•Saviah Technologies shared their experience with "Saviah 5GC Empowering Enterprise Private Network Innovation Applications." Their 5G core network software, Saviah 5GC, developed based on 3GPP standards, can empower partners to perform 5G private network system integration and support diverse enterprise applications. Currently, the number of sites globally adopting Saviah 5GC has exceeded 50.
•In addition, Askey Computer Corp. shared "Local 5G Smart Application Implementation Cases," establishing a Local 5G network architecture with a modular design that is quick to deploy and easy to expand, and successfully collaborating with the Japanese telecom giant NTT EAST, Inc. to enter the Japanese 5G private network market, setting a benchmark for the export of domestic technology and equipment.
Cross-Industry Success Cases Demonstrating Technical Combat Value
The second session on industry applications fully presented how 5G private networks deeply integrate with vertical industries to create tangible value.
•Fabulous Group shared "5G × AIGC Driving New Child-Parent Entertainment Venues: Immersive Applications and Business Opportunity Exploration," successfully creating a new immersive interactive gaming experience in a child-parent entertainment venue.
•In the smart manufacturing field, Vertex System Corporation and HwaCom Systems Inc. jointly focused on the pain points of the high-tech manufacturing industry. They applied 5G private networks to implement MR (Mixed Reality) glasses for remote collaboration in equipment maintenance and used AI image recognition for anomaly detection, significantly improving manufacturing efficiency and quality.
•Furthermore, Field Delivery Service Co., Ltd set a paradigm for traditional industries, using 5G private networks and smart applications to assist the textile industry in completing digital transformation, notably boosting production efficiency.
Conclusion and Outlook
In addition to the extensive presentations, the on-site booth demonstrations were also a highlight of the Demo Day. Vendors including TAYAR, Saviah Technologies, Askey Computer Corp., Vertex System Corporation, HwaCom Systems Inc., and Transnet Corporation collectively built an efficient technology exchange platform, allowing participating companies to experience the technical feasibility and practicality of 5G private networks up close. The Administration for Digital Industries hopes that this event will continue to accelerate the strong capabilities of the industry in 5G private network infrastructure and application development, thereby continuously speeding up the pace of industrial digital transformation.
