As Taiwan confronts an increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape and more frequent natural disasters, building resilient communications networks has become a national priority. In a major step toward that goal, Chunghwa Telecom — the island’s largest telecommunications provider — announced on June 4, 2025, that it had officially secured government approval to operate OneWeb’s low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite service for commercial fixed communications as of June 3, 2025. Chunghwa Telecom is the first company in Taiwan to receive such a license.
