Nokia to expand 5G partnership with Taiwan Mobile
The partnership is expected to significantly boost connectivity across both urban and rural areas, advancing Taiwan’s digital infrastructure.
Nokia and Taiwan Mobile are strengthening their long-standing partnership through a one-year 5G contract extension designed to enhance 5G performance and 4G/LTE coverage across Taiwan. The expansion follows Taiwan Mobile’s recent merger with Taiwan Star, positioning the operator for the 5G-Advanced era and significantly boosting service quality for its 10 million customers, including those in rural regions.
As part of the contract, Nokia will introduce its advanced AirScale equipment in Taiwan for the first time, deploying high-capacity, energy-efficient solutions such as the ReefShark System-on-Chip and Massive MIMO radios. Furthermore, Carrier Aggregation technology will be integrated to combine spectrum bands, thus improving data rates, throughput, and network capacity.
Overall, these upgrades directly support Taiwan Mobile’s commitment to exceptional service and environmental sustainability, with thousands of LTE sites set to be modernised for increased energy efficiency. In addition, Nokia and Taiwan Mobile are jointly committed to delivering robust connectivity nationwide.
By using advanced, energy-efficient technology, they aim to support Taiwan Mobile’s 10 million customers, including over 1 million IoT devices. Consequently, the partnership ensures that users in both urban and rural areas can experience the full benefits of 5G, thereby advancing Taiwan’s digital landscape and enhancing nationwide connectivity.
