According to a rcrwireless report on January 29, Taiwan operator "Chunghwa Telecom" stated in a conference call with investors that as of 2021, it will have more than 12,000 5G base stations in Taiwan.

"In the fourth quarter, the mobile market remained stable as the operator focused on 5G migration and development. 5G penetration reached approximately 20% by the end of 2021." "As we accelerate 5G deployment in better locations, continue to lead in network quality, and remain cautious in 5G customer migration, we achieved our goal of maintaining a leading position in 2022," the spokesperson said.

The telecommunications company aims to expand its 5G private network solutions into the Southeast Asian market. Chunghwa Telecom spent NT$45.67 billion (US$1.52 billion) on 90 MHz of spectrum in the 3.5GHz band and NT$618 million on 600 MHz of spectrum in the 28GHz band.

The operator has selected Ericsson and Nokia as 5G RAN suppliers. Ericsson said it will use the operator's Radio System base stations and Ericsson's 5G core, including its 5G evolved packet core. Ericsson's CHT 5G platform includes Ericsson Radio System base stations, which will operate in the 3.5GHz mid-band and 28GHz high-band. The operator said the 5G solution will also include active antenna products, while supporting beamforming capabilities that reduce wireless signal interference and increase 5G speeds.

Nokia has previously said that it has been selected to use Chunghwa Telecom's existing LTE installed base and spectrum resources to launch 5G non-standalone networking (NSA) involving multiple frequency bands, paving the way for the launch of 5G pavilions through a standalone architecture in the near future.
