The development of 5G is expected to tremendously benefit humanity with countries worldwide striving to introduce 5G services. Taiwan's 5G spectrum auctions have even surpassed 138 billion NT dollars, showing the importance of 5G in the evolution of mobile communication. The domestic demand and capacity resumption with China local market will be affected by the current outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus(COVID-19). However, if the epidemic is brought under control in the first half of 2020, a rebound in the second half would be expected due to deferred demand and booming 5G applications.

2020 was expected to be a year with an explosive 5G growth by a wave of phone replacements from consumer end. As the coverage rate increases and integrates AI, cloud platforms and edge computing, it will be widely used in fields such as manufacturing, medical treatment, and transportation, creating many new business opportunities. The sales in electronic products from China takes up to 25% of the world market including mobile phones, computers, and televisions. The demand and supply have been impacted shortly as a result of the Novel Coronavirus epidemic; however, 5G is still an inevitable element in the development of mobile communications. Once the epidemic is controlled, the promising 5G and AIOT developments will rebound strongly.

Taiwan's advantage comes from a solid foundation of its semiconductor and ICT industries. Semiconductor wafer foundry from Taiwan takes the lead in the world with advanced high-end processes. With production capacity mainly operating in Taiwan, where the impact from the epidemic has been cushioned by its high factory automation efficiency. Due to the fast transmission speed of 5G is limited to short-distance transmission and the necessity to cooperate with various fields, a great demand for customizable and diverse small cells manufacturing has greatly increased. Taiwan ICT industry with its professional expertise, experience, and flexible manufacturing ability is at its full throttle to assist Taiwan enterprises breaking into the 5G market.

Taiwan Excellence award winning brand, Edge-Core has developed a big data backhaul technology to reduce design and deployment costs by referencing future 5G market demand to drive a new generation of mobile network services. The 5G wireless router developed by D-Link Technology can establish a large-scale mesh network, allowing users to easily connect various IoT and smart home devices. Zyxel's intelligent information security defense and parental control wireless router combines speedy performance, information security, parental control, and other features, making it the perfect gatekeeper for home networks.

5G featuring ‘high-speed’, ‘low-latency’ and ‘wide-link’ is expected to bring smart manufacturing, smart medical care, smart retail, Internet of Things(IoT), Internet of Vehicles(IoV), and even smart cities, bringing convenience into our life.

Taiwan Excellence will ride with this trend to launch new products at COMPUTEX from June 2 to 6, and lead Taiwan Excellence award winning enterprises to participate in the “World Congress on Information Technology(WCIT)” from September 14 to 16, “Smart Asia” from October 29 to 31, and “Indonesia Infrastructure Week(IIW)” from October 21 to 23, and other exciting activities to march on the global 5G market.
