A total of 37 mobile broadband base stations deployed.
In 2024, utilized 12 times.
When disasters cause base station outages or special events are held in areas with
insufficient capacity or coverage, mobile base stations can provide temporary coverage and capacity to
ensure continuous mobile communication services. In 2024, mobile base stations were dispatched 12 times
for emergency support and drills. During Typhoon Kaimi in July, which brought more than 1,600 mm of
rainfall in three days, numerous landslides and rockfalls isolated several villages in Maolin District,
Kaohsiung City. TWM set up a temporary base station in Maolin District to provide emergency
communications and support rescue operations.
Disaster Prevention SMS
In 2024, a total of 50 drills were conducted, including 14 broadcasts for the 921 National Disaster
Prevention Day exercise, and 3,405 actual disaster prevention messages were sent.
On “921 National Disaster Prevention Day,” large-scale drills were held nationwide, with a
special focus on the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum in Chiayi, to issue disaster
prevention alert broadcast messages. In 2024, TWM also supported a total of 50 drills in cooperation
with various government agencies, and successfully transmitted 3,405 actual disaster prevention alert
broadcast messages as requested by disaster prevention authorities.
TWM continues to support the government’s “Disaster Prevention and Relief Technology
Application Program,” expanding the application and functionality of the disaster prevention service
platform to enhance the cell broadcast alert service. This ensures the protection of user rights and
helps strengthen Taiwan’s overall disaster prevention and relief capabilities.
Disaster prevention Response Drill
Strengthening digital resilience and successfully completing Disaster Roaming drills.
As a provider of critical national telecommunications infrastructure, TWM actively
participated in the Ministry of Digital Affairs and the National Fire Agency’s “2024 National Disaster
Prevention Day Large-Scale Earthquake Disaster Relief Mobilization Drill.” In this
government-coordinated exercise, core network interfaces were established to connect TWM’s base
stations. In a major disaster, a portion of mobile network resources can be allocated to emergency
response teams for disaster assessment and urgent rescue operations. This ensures high-quality, two-way
audio and video communications for firefighters, police and rescue personnel, achieving communication
prioritization, stability, and resilience. As a result, the government command system will be able to
effectively manage and disseminate critical information during disasters, helping to maintain national
and social stability.
Building Disaster Prevention Mobile Communication Platform
Established 10 fixed disaster prevention mobile communication platforms.
Upgraded 14 existing mobile communication platforms
Aligned with the NCC’s “Forward-looking Infrastructure Development Program – Strengthening
Disaster Prevention Mobile Communication Infrastructure Project,” 10 fixed disaster prevention mobile
communication platforms with over 72 hours of backup power were established in 2024, along with upgrades
to 14 existing platforms. These platforms ensure effective emergency mobile communication services in
disaster areas during power outages, enabling rescue operations, emergency assistance, and maintaining a
certain level of normalcy for affected residents.
