Far EasTone Telecommunication Helps Hailong Offshore Wind Power Build Action Enterprise Private Network, Creating a New Benchmark for Offshore Communication

        In order to improve the operational efficiency of offshore wind power in Hailong, Far EasTone Telecommunication has tailored offshore 4G/5G dedicated base stations for Hailong Project 2 and 3 wind farms, replacing traditional satellite communication and introducing mobile enterprise private network technology to create a high-speed, stable, and low latency communication environment that covers the entire wind farm operation area, effectively increasing efficiency and safety in construction, maintenance, and monitoring, and setting a new standard for offshore communication.

        At the same time, Far EasTone Telecommunication attended the Beyond 5G SIG seminar of Taiwan Cloud Association on August 12th, titled "New Application Cases of Private Network Business Opportunities at Home and Abroad - Based on 5G and Looking Forward to 6G". With the theme of "Far EasTone Telecommunication 5G Private Network Launching a New Era of Smart Wind Power and Logistics", the seminar shared innovative scenarios and applications of the Hailong Plan Wind Farm, as well as the collaboration with subsidiary Arcoa Communication in July to launch Taiwan's first factory wide 5G private network automated smart warehousing at the Far Eastern Group Smart Logistics Center in Wugu District, New Taipei City, to accelerate the integration of the industry with the smart future.

        Offshore wind power communication challenges, Far EasTone Telecommunication tailors mobile enterprise private network to support wind farm operations

        The "Hailong Offshore Wind Power Project" located off the coast of Changbin is not only the largest offshore wind power project in the Asia Pacific region, but also Taiwan's first offshore wind farm with a installed capacity exceeding 1GW. In June of this year, the first wind turbine was connected to the grid for testing, successfully integrating green power into Taiwan's power grid. It is expected to complete the commercial conversion of wind farms 2 and 3 by the end of 2025 and 2026, providing stable and clean green energy for Taiwan.

                Enterprise customer Zeng Shiyuan, Executive Vice President, stated that traditional offshore operations rely on satellite communication, which not only results in unstable signals but also limited bandwidth, affecting operational efficiency and safety. Far EasTone Telecommunication is honored to build a dedicated 4G/5G base station for the Hailong Plan Wind Farm offshore substation and use innovative telecommunications technology to create a mobile enterprise private network, solving communication pain points. Far EasTone Telecommunication's "Mobile Enterprise Private Network" has core advantages such as high stability, low latency, and dedicated bandwidth. It can be customized according to the operational needs of offshore wind farms, providing an independent communication environment to fully support wind farm operations and contribute to Taiwan's energy transformation.

        This private network design adopts a dual-mode system of low-frequency NR and LTE, which balances wide area coverage and multi device access capability, fully supports engineering fleet operations, personnel communication, AI monitoring system data transmission and other applications, significantly reducing construction risks and delay rates. It is a major breakthrough in offshore wind power digital infrastructure construction. In addition, Far EasTone Telecommunication has partnered with Ericsson to provide a complete communication solution, including base stations and microwave backhaul technology, significantly improving the communication and operational efficiency of wind farms.

        Assist Net Zero Future Far EasTone Telecommunication continues to expand investment in private networks and green communication technology

        The Far EasTone Telecommunications Action Enterprise Private Network has been widely used in various fields such as manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, smart cities, and cultural exhibitions. It has now been further extended to the challenging offshore environment, demonstrating its profound technical energy and solution integration capabilities. In the future, it will continue to invest in the energy and infrastructure fields with telecommunications core technology, promote the intelligent and low-carbon operation and maintenance of renewable energy, work together with industries to move towards a net zero sustainable new future, and assist Taiwan in achieving its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
