Moda stated that Taiping Island, located in the Nansha Islands, is strategically important for our country. However, due to geographical factors, there has been a chronic shortage of communication bandwidth, resulting in inconvenience in external communication. Moda along with its affiliated Telecom Technology Center (TTC), recently officially launched SES middle orbit satellite signals on Taiping Island. Additionally, in collaboration with Chunghwa Telecom, Wi-Fi and mobile network services were inaugurated on the island on the 16th. The total transmission bandwidth can reach 25Mbps, approximately 3.9 times the previous communication efficiency, providing services for the stationed coast guard personnel on Taiping Island.

Moda stated that, to enhance the communication resilience of our country, they initiated a two-year Asynchronous Satellite Contingency Network Verification Project starting from 2022. Using the Proof of Concept (PoC) approach, they constructed a satellite contingency network composed of low-earth orbit (LEO) and middle-earth orbit (MEO) satellites to verify the feasibility of this emerging technology in improving our country's communication resilience. The project prioritized the deployment of satellite equipment at important nodes on both the main island and outlying islands or in communication areas with heterogeneous redundancy. Taiping Island is one of these locations.

In September of 2022, moda and the Telecom Technology Center (TTC), in collaboration with the Ocean Affairs Council, the Coast Guard Administration, and Chunghwa Telecom, installed SES mPower middle orbit satellite equipment on Taiping Island and completed the planning and construction of Wi-Fi and telecommunication base station satellite transmission networks on the island. In April of this year, SES officially launched the second-generation mPower satellite communication service worldwide. TTC technicians, with the assistance of the Ocean Affairs Council and the Coast Guard Administration, returned to Taiping Island on April 7th to conduct SES mPower satellite tests and remotely assist Chunghwa Telecom engineers in opening satellite transmission links for base stations. After completing all tests on the 16th, Wi-Fi and mobile network services on the island were officially launched. According to actual tests, the total transmission bandwidth available to island personnel can reach 25Mbps, approximately 3.9 times the previous communication efficiency, significantly enhancing the network communication quality between Taiping Island and Taiwan.

Moda will continue to collaborate with relevant units and is expected to complete 700 asynchronous satellite terminal equipment sites, 70 base station satellite backhaul link sites, and 3 overseas asynchronous orbit satellite terminal equipment sites by the end of this year, totaling 773 sites. This will establish a proprietary asynchronous orbit satellite contingency network for our country. Furthermore, efforts will continue to integrate asynchronous orbit satellites and diverse heterogeneous emergency contingency networks to strengthen our country's communication resilience.
