Telecommunications Industry Supply Chain

The telecommunications industry is like a complex and interconnected ecosystem, where each component is interdependent and closely linked. Within it, Chunghwa Telecom actively participates and plays a leading role, committed to ensuring the smooth operation and sustainable development of the entire ecosystem.

The telecommunications industry supply chain encompasses the provision of infrastructure, the delivery of communication services, and the innovation of applications and value-added services. Telecommunications infrastructure provides a solid foundation for the industry, communication services meet the basic needs of the public, and value-added services introduce diverse applications. These interconnected components complement each other, forming a collaborative and symbiotic operational system that drives the continuous development of the telecommunications industry.

Amidst the wave of digital transformation, content providers/integrators, application service providers, network equipment and terminal equipment suppliers, etc., are indispensable partners for telecom service providers. Hence, exercising the “Extensive Alliance” strategy, Chunghwa Telecom ceaselessly improves the fixed line, mobile, data, and ICT services, as well as partners with upstream, midstream, and downstream suppliers to jointly build a closer industrial ecological chain. Through this partnership model, we are committed to offering more quality services to help the industries in Taiwan to realize digital upgrades and transformation goals.
