Moda announced plans to complete the designation of specific experimental areas and restrictions for connected car network radio frequency by the end of April. It is estimated that optimizing the application process for connected car network frequency experiments could reduce application periods by 64%, accelerating the development of Taiwan's connected car experimental network and facilitating the flourishing of the connected car network industry. Moda will continue to leverage radio frequency allocation and expedite administrative procedures to promote the experimentation and validation of new technologies, thereby driving digital transformation in industries.

Moda stated that the Connected Car Experimental Network is a collaborative effort involving the ministry for issuing experimental frequencies, the National Communications Commission for issuing experimental networks, and cooperation with central and local government transportation authorities to select experimental areas. This enables various innovative experiments related to connected car network frequencies to be conducted in cities and counties including Taipei, New Taipei, Hsinchu, Nantou, Changhua, Yunlin, Chiayi, and Pingtung. These experiments aim to verify the possibility of every corner of Taiwan becoming a smart city based on the transportation patterns in each region.

Moda pointed out that through the designation of specific experimental areas for the connected car network frequency, the average 84-day application period for the connected car experimental network can be reduced to 29 days, equivalent to a potential reduction of 64% in the optimal period. Subsequently, there will be a review and amendment of the experimental geographical scope and conditions for unmanned vehicles (vehicles, ships, aircraft), which is expected to attract more innovative teams to participate, conduct various forward-looking research and development projects, inject new vitality into Taiwan's technology ecosystem, promote cross-industry collaboration and technology exchange, and ensure that various new technologies can be verified for feasibility and adjusted to improve service quality more quickly through experimentation.

Moda also emphasized its commitment to technological neutrality and urged telecom companies to introduce low-earth orbit satellites to enhance the nation's digital resilience. Additionally, efforts such as promoting 5G private networks, opening up new frequency bands for Wi-Fi, enhancing signal coverage in key mountain huts and trails, and integrating public IoT information are all practical success stories of using radio frequencies to accelerate industrial digital transformation, and promote socio-economic development and industrial growth.

Moda emphasizes its commitment to continuing collaboration with relevant agencies and organizations to enhance regulatory frameworks. It will also adapt to the evolution of emerging communication applications and external environmental changes. The ministry will continue to propose and promote reasonable planning of radio frequencies to facilitate industrial development in the digital transformation era. Furthermore, it will endeavor to streamline administrative procedures, within the confines of regulations, to ensure that new technologies can be swiftly validated through experimentation and that service quality can be continuously improved.
