FET starts 5G train to enlarge innovative service energy

        On July 3, 2020, far EasTone telecommunication, which has been deployed ahead of time and obtained the best spectrum position, officially announced the launch of "far EasTone telecommunication heart 5g". It also revealed that 5g commercial in Taiwan is taking off rapidly, opening up a new situation for the next wave of vigorous application of Internet of things (IOT). This issue of "cover story" will introduce how far EasTone telecommunication can cross-border and connect with each other, so as to promote the early layout of ecosystem manufacturers and grasp the new business opportunities of smart application services!

        Team building Internet of things (IOT) ecosystem

        With the rapid development of communication technology and the wide coverage of signals, it has not only become the mainstream application in the world, but also attracted the investment of a large number of terminal equipment manufacturers, thus driving the industrial development of Internet of things (IOT) as a whole, and its application orientation is becoming more and more extensive.

        In fact, as early as 2018, far EasTone telecommunications has actively participated in Cloud Computing & IOT Association in Taiwan, and is committed to building the Internet of things (IOT) ecosystem. The 5g IOT sig organization established by the association is the general convener of Zeng Shiyuan, executive vice president of far EasTone telecommunication enterprise and international business group. It has Internet of things (IOT) device group, application service group and enterprise private network group. It holds regular activities and industrial exchanges every quarter. In 2019, the Taipei Municipal Government jointly promoted the first 5g open testing field in Taiwan for domestic 5g related industries, government officials, universities and research institutes to enter the field for testing and discussion, attracting more than 120 manufacturers to sign up for participation, obtaining media reports such as print, television, website, youtube, etc., and more than 2 million times of viewing on YouTube. At present, more than 130 manufacturers have joined 5g IOT sig. In the future, it will actively organize relevant seminars, promote domestic and foreign demand matching, online exhibition activities, etc., continuously connect the upstream, middle and downstream of 5g / IOT industry, and build the Internet of things (IOT) ecosystem.

        With the launch of far EasTone telecommunication 5g, 5g IOT sig has also released 5g "Internet of things (IOT) ecosystem manual third edition", adding 5g related applications and Oran (open radio access network) related manufacturers' applications, hoping to help enterprises find suitable 5g IOT and private network applications more quickly and easily.

                Show application to attack big business opportunities of smart city

        Participating in the operation of 5g IOT sig has accelerated the integration capability of far EasTone telecommunication in 5g technology. At present, far EasTone telecommunication 5g covers smart city, smart manufacturing, smart healthcare, smart transportation, smart retail, etc., with dozens of cooperative manufacturers.

        In particular, in recent years, smart city related applications are very hot, and there are many aspects, and the results are remarkable. From the central government to the local government, all of them support it. The projects that far EasTone telecommunication participated in include: LED smart street lamp in Taoyuan City, smart city application in Tainan City, roadside smart parking in Taichung City, and even smart street lamp in Penghu. Take smart streetlights as an example. With more than 2 million streetlights, it is not easy to manage them. Far EasTone telecommunication entered the market in 2019 and developed a platform system through a high and dense network. It has achieved the construction of nearly 100000 sets of Taoyuan smart streetlight North District, the largest single case in the world, and a 15 year maintenance plan. After one year's construction and the efforts of the network, products and construction management units, at present, every street lamp in North Taoyuan can use far EasTone telecommunication Internet of things (IOT) technology for remote monitoring, cloud maintenance and management, and automatic dimming setting, with a proper rate of over 97%. For the public, the proper rate of streetlights has improved and there is no need to report for repair. For municipal public works units, there is no need for regular patrols by light inspectors. Public works units can remove obstacles when they find them online. Not only can the public have more confidence in the government, but also can save energy and reduce carbon. In the future, far EasTone telecommunication plans to extend such projects to other regions and even other countries.

        In the field of intelligent medicine, far EasTone telecommunication cooperates with three medical centers, including Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Kaohsiung Medical College and Hualien Tzu Chi. It has been applied in 11 rural health centers in Taidong, with hundreds of visits per week. In terms of smart transportation, far EasTone telecommunication has provided software, transmission, ESIM, platform, etc. to assist goshare (gogoro shared locomotive), Irent locomotive, ubike second generation vehicle and so on in the past two years. In terms of smart retail, far EasTone telecommunication also provides relevant services for department stores such as flow calculation, store location, asset tracking, etc. As for the field of smart manufacturing, far EasTone telecommunication not only helps the group manufacturing industry to develop smart cloth inspection, smart factory and smart inspection, but also cooperates with delta power and Microsoft in the first 5g smart factory in Taiwan on June 8 this year to rush to attack 5g smart manufacturing business machines.

                Show technology becomes a solid partner of Internet of things (IOT)

        The application of Internet of things (IOT) has no national boundaries, especially in Taiwan, which is a large OEM and design country of electronic products, has more opportunities to take advantage of this upsurge and drive the overall industry and market. This year, far EasTone telecommunication has assisted customers to complete the roaming test of nb-iot in the United States, Europe and other places. In practical application, more vending machine manufacturers use the SIM of far EasTone telecommunication to sell to Southeast Asia with the overall service.

        In addition, the Internet of things (IOT) application development platform cat (connect all things), which is independently developed by far EasTone telecommunication, also greatly improves the ability of far EasTone telecommunication to independently control Internet of things (IOT). This platform includes three functions: IOT equipment connection management, data visualization analysis, application service development and deployment. In the equipment connection management part, it supports multiple communication protocols to make it easier for customers to manage IOT devices. In terms of data visualization analysis, a variety of data visualization tools are preset on the platform to allow users to quickly establish a dedicated monitoring instrument version. As for the programmable rule engine, it helps to accelerate the development and deployment of application services and shorten the time to market. Its built-in user management function makes the equipment security control more convenient. It also includes three usage modes of cloud (PAAS) / private cloud / on premise, which is quite flexible and can meet the needs of customers in different fields.

        The establishment of this platform represents that far EasTone telecommunication has been able to develop and master the quality of its own from the terminal, transmission, platform, application service, etc., and has become the supplier of IOT end 2 end. It can not only improve the quality management ability, but also have more control over profits. In the future, far EasTone telecommunications will continue to provide a full range of digital services, leading Taiwan into a new era of 5g IOT!
