Responding to the national policy of "AI Smart Island," ChungHwa Telecom has taken the lead in the telecom industry to seize the all-in-one AI business opportunity. According to the latest data, the market share of the data center business under the ChungHwa Telecom Group in the country has reached 70%, ahead of its competitors. The General Manager of ChungHwa Telecom pointed out that these traditional data centers, after upgrades, will quickly meet customers' artificial intelligence needs, and with the government's promotion of sovereign AI plans, government agencies, finance, healthcare, and small to medium-sized enterprises will be able to upload data through ChungHwa Telecom's services.
ChungHwa Telecom plans not only to gradually upgrade data centers to computing power centers but also to leverage the advantages of its research institute to launch comprehensive AI application services. The chairman emphasized that this research institute, known as the "Tech Shaolin Temple," has a high technological content that is hard to compare with other peers. The research institute has already developed AI models that have successfully entered the government, finance, and manufacturing markets, with the next step targeting customers using computing power centers.
In addition, the chairman attaches great importance to the acquisition of AI chips, revealing that ChungHwa Telecom will conduct in-depth cooperation with leaders in the AI field to seize investment opportunities from NVIDIA in Taiwan. Taiwan also faces challenges in power supply, with tech experts pointing out that computing power centers consume a large amount of electricity. However, ChungHwa Telecom’s advantage of having data centers throughout Taiwan allows it to utilize the research institute's technology to reduce energy consumption and heat dissipation. At the same time, ChungHwa Telecom plans to use all-optical network technology to enhance energy efficiency, connecting decentralized data centers with high-speed fiber optic networks to make better use of local electricity and avoid concentrating power in a single location.
