 TAICS and 5G-ACIA signed an MoU to collaborate on building a comprehensive global 5G IIoT ecosystem and accelerating the application of 5G private networks in IIoT.
To capitalize on global 5G private networks opportunities worth hundreds of billions, TAICS signed an MoU with the 5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation (5G-ACIA) on December 6, 2023. In the future, the two parties will collaborate to establish a comprehensive global 5G IIoT ecosystem, expedite the implementation of 5G private networks in IIoT, and assist Taiwanese and international companies in incorporating the latest standards into developing and deploying 5G smart factories to ensure a smooth introduction of 5G technology in the ICT and industrial automation fields. With the support of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, TAICS jointly organized the 5G-ACIA annual membership meeting, which was held in Taiwan for the first time, with ITRI. The event included a series of activities, such as the Industrial 5G Day exhibition, which attracted nearly 100 domestic and foreign manufacturing and communications companies. Participants discussed the best strategies for progressing towards the next stage of 5G, Beyond 5G, and 6G smart factories.
During the 5G-ACIA membership meeting in Taiwan, over 20 local Taiwanese and global companies playing a major role in the international 5G industry were invited to showcase Taiwan's software and hardware capabilities in 5G communications and applications. The participating global companies included Qualcomm, Ericsson, Nokia, NXP, Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz, Litepoint, Pegatron, Moxa, Askey, Compal, LiteOn, Quanta Cloud, HwaCom Systems, Jorjin, Sercomm, Ataya Taiwan, Inventec, LIONS Taiwan, CTOne, TANGRAM, O'Prueba, Saviah, ITRI, III, and the Telecom Technology Center. Together, they exhibited more than 32 cutting-edge technology applications in 5G smart factories, aiming to help Taiwan's companies gain entry into the international supply chain and explore the endless possibilities of 5G smart manufacturing. |
