Network Quality

• 5G population coverage rate increased by 97.20%
• 5G rural population coverage rate 99.17%

In response to the growing demand for mobile data services, Taiwan Mobile launched its 5G services on June 30, 2020, and has since been actively expanding its 5G network. By deploying both low-band (700MHz) and high-band (3500MHz) frequencies, the Company has significantly strengthened its network coverage. Following the merger with T-Star in December 2023, Taiwan Mobile has integrated the resources of both companies to accelerate 5G deployment. As of the end of 2024, the 5G population coverage reached 97.20%, far exceeding the original target of 85%, with projections to reach 97.9% by 2035.

To support the government’s initiative to improve mobile broadband access in rural and remote areas, Taiwan Mobile has actively addressed infrastructure challenges associated with building base stations in remote and offshore regions. The Company has continued to improve mobile signal coverage in these areas. By the end of 2024, the 5G rural population coverage reached 99.17%, demonstrating its commitment to enhancing network quality for users in underserved regions.
