Chunghwa Telecom leverages its widest and fastest 5G mobile network to better assist customers with digital transformation and meet the demands of smart applications.

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 16, 2024 /CNW/ — Frost & Sullivan recently researched the telecom and 5G industries in Taiwan and, based on its findings, recognizes Chunghwa Telecom with the 2024 Taiwanese Company of the Year and Customer Value Leadership Awards. The company is an integrated service provider that owns most of Taiwan’s fixed-line infrastructure (supplemented by undersea cables and satellite coverage), and is the largest mobile operator in Taiwan. It provides 99% 4G population coverage nationwide and, unlike its peers, offers critical data services to the consumer and enterprise segments anywhere and anytime—even in remote and rural areas. With its 5G service already covering 97.6% of the country’s population and offering 361.83 Mbps median download speed, the company is leading the way with 5G and is at the forefront of 5G application development. Its strategic use of AI technology helps address customers’ unmet needs, such as transitioning toward net zero emissions and environmental sustainability. In combination with 5G and video streaming services, AI also enhances the audio-visual experience for customers.

Chunghwa Telecom’s 5G standalone (SA) architecture enables network slicing for dedicated channels that can withstand peak-hour traffic, making it suitable for large-scale 5G applications that require guaranteed bandwidth. With 5G SA powering network slicing, the company can more adequately address market demand for 5G applications and take traditional 5G private network construction to the next level. Chunghwa Telecom’s 5G accelerator helps Taiwanese start-ups develop and commercialize 5G applications that meet industry needs, and the company has successfully empowered many enterprises across various industries. Its 5G private networks have created a stable revenue stream and expanded its market share in the space, contributing to double-digit year-on-year (YoY) revenue growth of its ICT business in 2023.

Mei Lee Quah, research director for ICT at Frost & Sullivan, observed, “Chunghwa Telecom consistently drives the development of new business applications and strives to provide customers with faster and more convenient services that offer more value. As an example, the company is currently helping advance cybersecurity technologies to create new business opportunities, especially solutions that address consumer privacy risks and personal information rights, as well as the security of business operations and governance. With new 5G capability, it is also creating a new wave of smart services that provide customers with higher-quality services and digital applications.”

Chunghwa Telecom’s customer satisfaction and experience differentiate it from competitors. The company’s innovative 5G applications and strong reputation for customer service have pushed 5G subscriptions to exceed 3 million. The company leads the telecom market with 11.22 million mobile (non-IoT) and 1.92 million IoT subscriptions, a significant share of the Taiwanese 127.5% mobile phone penetration rate nationwide. Its long-term relationships with customers drive brand loyalty and strength beyond Taiwan—the brand is recognized on global leaderboards. Chunghwa Telecom’s robust 5G partner ecosystem allows the company to enter new markets and develop new revenue streams with first-to-market solutions that offer unique experiences and interactive services, increasing customer support for 5G. Additionally, its partnerships drive possibilities at a level above local competition and on par with global leaders. The company’s increasing YoY revenue growth and mobile subscriber market share over the last four years testify to its leadership and outstanding performance in the telecom market ahead of competitors in Taiwan.

“Chunghwa Telecom addresses pain points and improves the lives of Taiwanese people with smart services that offer customers enhanced solutions and digital applications. The company’s commitment to meeting and exceeding the needs of its customers with 5G is truly commendable and positions it far ahead of its competitors,” added Quah. With its strong overall performance, Chunghwa Telecom earns Frost & Sullivan’s 2024 Taiwanese Customer Value Leadership Award and Company of the Year Award in the 5G space and telecom industry, respectively.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Customer Value Leadership award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in implementing strategies that proactively create value for its customers with a focus on improving the return on the investment that customers make in its services or products. The award recognizes the company’s unique focus on augmenting the value that its customers receive, beyond simply good customer service, leading to improved customer retention and customer base expansion. Additionally, Frost & Sullivan presents a Company of the Year award to the organization that demonstrates excellence in terms of growth strategy and implementation in its field. This award recognizes a high degree of innovation with products and technologies, and the resulting leadership in terms of customer value and market penetration.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in various regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analyses, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

Zhejiang aims to be highland of AI innovation

Published

BEIJING, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ –A news report from China Daily:

The 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit concluded on Thursday after a four-day run. Beyond Wuzhen, a profound transformation driven by artificial intelligence is underway in Zhejiang’s workshops, laboratories and daily life. Building on years of efforts to deepen the Digital Zhejiang initiative, the province is aiming to become a hub of AI innovation.

In the first eight months, revenue of enterprises above designated size in Zhejiang’s core AI industry reached 582.87 billion yuan ($87.2 billion), up 26.9 percent year-on-year. The number of core industry enterprises rose to 2,112, forming a full industry-chain layout spanning chips, large models, intelligent agents and application services.

Computing power is one of the key infrastructure pillars of Zhejiang’s AI development. At a sock factory workshop in Zhuji, a designer can generate 20 original patterns within three minutes. In Yiwu, traders rely on an AI computing platform to produce high-definition product images and marketing short videos with a single click.

Powering these AI application scenarios is a province-wide integrated computing network built by China Mobile’s Zhejiang branch.

As of the end of September, Zhejiang’s total computing power reached 197 EFLOPS (short for ExaFLOPS, a unit of computing performance that quantifies the number of floating-point operations a computer can perform per second), ranking among the highest in the country. Of this, 54 enterprises and institutions in the province received national computing-power vouchers totaling 408 million yuan, accounting for 37 percent of the national total.

“As the Hangzhou and Jiashan intelligent computing centers are put into operation, Zhejiang can achieve millisecond-level access to computing, integrated computing-network scheduling and one-stop security assurance,” said Qiu Xiaoyuan, a manager at China Mobile’s Zhejiang branch.

Large models are another key factor to the game. With the Qwen and DeepSeek large models iterating continuously, Zhejiang’s model ecosystem aims to take the leading position.

In the 2026 government work report of Zhejiang, the province proposed the goal of gaining a leading position in AI development and striving to build a high-quality open-source ecosystem. Open source has been listed as one of the core levers of the province’s AI strategy.

Located in Xihu district, Hangzhou, the ModelScope community is among China’s largest AI open-source communities. Online, it brings together more than 29 million AI developers and more than 200,000 models worldwide, lowering the threshold for AI-related innovation.

Chen Tianrun, born after 2000, is a doctoral student at Zhejiang University and founder of Moxin Technology, which independently developed MoWorld, a real-time interactive world model built entirely on domestic neural processing units. An NPU is a specialized computer microprocessor designed to mimic the processing function of the human brain.

“The relationship between AI and humans is not about AI replacing humans, but about AI and humans working together to do more to raise productivity,” Chen said.

Backed by new production factors such as computing power, models and data, Zhejiang is breaking through its natural-resource constraints to become a trendsetter in innovation.

The Zhejiang provincial government hosted a series of major events during the 2026 WIC Wuzhen Summit, featuring interactive experiences and surprises.

On Monday, at the Light of Internet Expo, a signature event of the WIC Wuzhen Summit, more than 30 embodied-intelligence robots — from companies such as AgiBot, UBTech, Unitree and Zhongke Fifth Era — brought visitors to the world of perceptual intelligence.

Among them, the world’s first bipedal humanoid robot capable of playing badminton with humans autonomously became the centerpiece. The robot has also mastered table tennis; the faster the ball travels, the faster it reacts.

The Global Internet Competition of “Straight to Wuzhen” is another highlight event of the WIC Wuzhen Summit. Since registration opened in June, it has attracted 1,347 projects and one-person company entries from 31 countries and regions.

The Digital Economy Industrial Cooperation Conference held on Wednesday was a signature event of the Wuzhen Summit’s permanent venue. Over the past three years, annual signings of digital economy industrial projects at the event have each exceeded 100 billion yuan.

October 2026 ADV reaches $345 billion as Broadridge continues to advance institutional tokenization infrastructure

NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Broadridge (NYSE: BR), global Fintech leader, today announced that its Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) processed an average of $345 billion in daily repo transactions during October, with volumes totaling $7.6 trillion. The total settled volume reflects the continued scale of tokenized securities financing activity as Broadridge expands its digital asset infrastructure through its recently launched DLX platform.

“DLR has laid the groundwork for the next phase of tokenization, as institutions increasingly shift their focus from exploring initial digital assets use cases to scaling these capabilities across their businesses,” said Horacio Barakat, Global Head of Digital Innovation at Broadridge. “In 2027, we anticipate further integration of tokenized assets into everyday financial market operations, helping institutions unlock efficiencies across the asset lifecycle. Through DLR and our broader DLX platform, we’re focused on making these capabilities more accessible and practical for financial institutions.”

Building on DLR’s proven infrastructure and institutional experience, DLX extends Broadridge’s tokenization capabilities beyond securities financing into a broader range of assets and workflows, spanning issuance, trading, settlement, servicing and distribution. Together, DLR and DLX equip financial institutions with the trusted, resilient technology and operational controls needed to integrate tokenized assets into existing market operations, helping bridge traditional and digital markets while reducing complexity.
