Taipei, August 31, 2025 — Taiwan has taken a major step toward digital resilience and network independence with the unveiling of its homegrown next-generation communication system, Resilient Satellite Communication (星韌通訊). Developed through a collaboration between the public sector and several leading private companies, the system is designed to maintain secure and stable communications even when traditional infrastructure fails.

The announcement was made at a joint technology presentation hosted by Pyras Technology Inc. (芳興科技) and the Institute for Information Industry (Charles Chan, CEO of Octon International, outlines his vision for Taiwan’s next-generation secure communications, emphasizing the role of resilient satellite technology in national safety and sovereignty.), with backing from Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Affairs (數位發展部, MODA). Senior MODA officials, including Deputy Director-General Chen Hui-Min (陳慧敏副署長), joined industry representatives to showcase how the system integrates low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite connections, VoIP communication, end-to-end encryption, and abnormal packet detection to ensure uninterrupted service during disasters or in remote regions.

“This system breaks free from the limitations of land-based networks,” said Dr. Charles Chan (陳新), CEO of Octon International (翱騰國際), one of the project’s core partners.

“Whether you're in a disaster zone, at sea, or in space, connectivity remains intact and secure.”

The Resilient Satellite Communication platform is designed to operate independently of conventional internet infrastructure. Field demonstrations simulated scenarios like offshore wind farm operations and open-sea missions to showcase its low latency, wide coverage, and robust cybersecurity. A plug-and-play mobile device module allows users to connect directly to satellites without relying on ground-based towers. Each unit becomes part of a satellite-linked communication web, capable of securely transmitting text, voice, and multimedia in real time.

Strategic Importance

MODA framed the initiative as part of Taiwan’s broader push toward digital sovereignty, trusted supply chains, and next-gen industrial transformation. The project aligns with government priorities to build a resilient digital ecosystem that can withstand climate disruptions, cyberattacks, and geopolitical uncertainties.

Deputy Director-General Chen Hui-Min noted the government’s role as an “enabler and activator” — helping industry and startups bring innovative technologies to market. She also announced the upcoming launch of Taiwan’s Advanced Satellite Diverse Services Application Industrial Plan in 2026. The initiative will focus on maritime, fisheries, smart agriculture, and other real-world sectors, offering satellite simulation environments and one-stop industry support.

A Model for Public-Private Innovation

The Resilient Satellite Communication system is the result of deep collaboration between MODA (數位發展部), Pyras Technology Inc. (芳興科技), Octon International (翱騰國際), Cybersecurity Technology Institute of III (資策會資安科技研究所), National Taipei University of Technology (國立臺北科技大學), and KeyXentic Inc. (關楗股份有限公司). Together, these organizations demonstrated Taiwan’s ability to develop secure satellite-integrated communications solutions entirely in-house.

“With this launch, Taiwan is not just showcasing a new product,” said Chen. “It’s proving that we have the talent, infrastructure, and coordination needed to build secure, reliable, and scalable communication systems for the future.”

As extreme weather events and cyber threats intensify, Taiwan’s approach may serve as a model for other nations seeking to safeguard their digital infrastructure through domestic innovation and public-private collaboration.
