Disaster prevention and Contingency Rehearsal
Strengthen digital resilience and complete Disaster Roaming
TWM, as a robust supporter of the country's critical communications infrastructure, actively
participated in the National Fire Agency’s 2023 National Disaster Prevention Day Large-scale Earthquake
Disaster Relief Mobilization Drill. This marked the first "Disaster Roaming" drill, involving nearly 200
man-days. Through cross-network roaming, it simulated communication response capabilities during
disasters, ensuring that people can continue to use mobile telecommunications across different operators
to receive accurate government information. This drill highlighted the critical role of communication
infrastructure in disaster response. Moving forward, we will continue to enhance the reliability of
communication networks to ensure the public always enjoys a secure communication environment.
Disaster Prevention Mobile Communication Platform
Built 9 fixed-point Disaster Prevention Mobile Communication Platforms
Optimized 30 existing mobile communication platforms
Equipped 1 mobile vehicle
In conjunction with NCC's "Forward-looking Infrastructure Development Program -
Strengthening Disaster Response Communication Infrastructure Project, "9 designated Disaster Prevention
Mobile Communication Platforms with power backup of more than 72 hours were built in 2023. Additionally,
