Far EasTone telecommunications (FET) continued to deploy innovative applications in advance. On December 21, it announced the establishment of Taiwan's first "5G Metaverse Accelerator" to actively form a team to create a Metaverse. FET has long been deeply engaged in the core competencies of "5G big data + AI + IOT", IT security, cloud, energy, vehicle economy, and has a 5G network certified as "the first in the world" by international authoritative institutions. In the future, it will call on new innovation teams to join and focus on two solutions for consumer applications and enterprise customers, seize the business opportunities of virtual economy! The press conference specially invited many important venture capital / accelerator companies in Taiwan, such as CDIB Capital Innovation Accelerator, Taiwan Renaissance Platform, Taiwania Capital, National Innovation and Entrepreneurship Association, TTA Taiwan Tech Arena, SparkLabs Taipei, StarFab Accelerator, Drive Catalyst, Institute for information industry smart system R & D Center and other enterprises to participate, to witness the launch of FET "5G Metaverse Accelerator"!
FET Chee Ching president said, "as a benchmark enterprise for digital transformation, FET has long been deeply involved in big data, artificial intelligence, Internet of things (IOT) and cloud technologies, and built the world's first 5G network, which has become an important foundation for us to invest in Metaverse applications. Metaverse is a 3D virtual world, just like the digital avatar of the physical world. Through AR / VR and other man-machine interfaces, people can engage in social, commercial, financial, entertainment games and other activities, feel the immersive experience, and even surpass some limitations in the physical world, such as spatial distance and speed. Therefore, the virtual world must complement and integrate with the physical world.
