The 2024 " TAIWAN International Assembly of Space Science, Technology, and Industry" (TASTI), organized by Taiwan Space Agency, will be held at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center from December 1 to December 4. This conference gathers international experts and industry leaders and is the largest space event in Taiwan for the year.
Chunghwa Telecom participated in the exhibition with the theme "Multi-Orbit Satellites Connecting the World Anywhere Anytime" to showcase its leadership in the satellite communication industry, attracting both the general public and industry professionals. The design of Chunghwa Telecom's exhibition area highlights an engaging approach that caters to the needs of both general visitors and experts. Through vivid displays and interactive experiences, participants can easily understand the basic principles and applications of satellite communication. At the same time, in-depth analyses are provided for industry professionals, fully presenting Chunghwa Telecom's long-term plans and goals in connecting the industry supply chain and promoting Taiwan’s international satellite cooperation.
This exhibition introduces the concept of "multi-orbit satellites" to the general public for the first time, integrating low, medium, and high orbit satellite services to create a seamless global satellite network available at all times. By filling in the signal gaps of traditional ground-based mobile stations, the display features diverse satellite applications, including disaster recovery, maritime IoT, and in-flight Wi-Fi services, highlighting the value of satellite communication across land, sea, and air industries. For example, satellite technology can quickly establish emergency contacts during disasters to ensure effective rescue operations; in the shipping sector, satellite IoT enables ship positioning, cargo tracking, and data analysis to support the smart maritime applications; and in aviation, it provides stable high-speed internet services during flights, enhancing the passenger experience. These innovative applications demonstrate the fruitful collaboration with industry partners.
In Taiwan, satellite communication has become a key pillar for enhancing communication resilience due to extreme weather events like typhoons and earthquakes. Through multi-orbit satellite technology, it effectively covers remote areas and maritime zones, supplementing the blind spots of ground networks and achieving "connectivity everywhere" at any time. Moreover, it provides immediate temporary connections when ground communication is interrupted, effectively breaking communication isolation and serving as a vital support for disaster relief and national security.
Chunghwa Telecom utilizes multi-orbit satellite communication to ensure that data centers and critical networks can operate stably even in extreme conditions, significantly enhancing the resilience and stability of communication systems. Additionally, this technology guarantees that individual users remain connected during disasters. When such events occur, individual users can rely on satellite communication to maintain contact, receive important information, and be alerted to rescue operations, thereby enhancing residents' sense of security and responsiveness. This is particularly important for users in remote areas, further strengthening the overall resilience of society and aiding in post-disaster recovery.
At this annual meeting, Chunghwa Telecom showcased its strength and vision in the field of satellite communication, emphasizing how diverse applications enhance Taiwan's communication capabilities. By integrating low, medium, and high orbit satellite services, it provides comprehensive solutions for government, business, and individual users. Moving forward, it continues to focus on improving the resilience and stability of its communication systems to meet the needs of the public and industry, further promoting the development of Taiwan's satellite industry and demonstrating the profound impact of satellite technology on daily life and industry.
