(London Comprehensive News) The satellite network of British satellite service providers (OneWeb) will cover Taiwan at the end of the year.Tang Feng, the Minister of Digital Development in Taiwan, said that this will increase the low -orbit satellite network that Taiwan can use, and it is more meaningful to "joint defense Taiwan".
According to Bloomberg, Tang Feng (June 17) said on Saturday that a company supported by the British government "very willing" to cooperate with Taiwan to strengthen Taiwan's communication infrastructure.
She said that starting at the end of this year, a web satellite coverage will expand from northern parts to the whole Taiwan, which not only means that Taiwan will have more low -orbit satellite options, but also the meaning of "joint defense Taiwan".
Tang Feng said that in addition to the 700 test points in Taiwan, there will be more than three overseas testing points to ensure that information such as image can be spread from Taiwan to overseas.I can still spread information to various countries. "
Compared with the ground communication method, communication based on low -orbit satellites can ensure that the network is not affected by ground equipment damage.The Ukrainian army and the government rely on the low -orbital satellite network in the Russia and Ukraine War. With the damage of infrastructure, we continued to use network communication.
During the visit of Tang Feng on Tuesday (June 13), it was mentioned that Taiwan was setting up a non -synchronous orbit satellite as a reserve network and welcomed the industry to participate.She said that Taiwan has faced uncertainty threats such as earthquakes and overseas forces for many years. Once an emergency occurs, a crisis of communication interruption may be suffered.
She also said that after the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine War, the global focus on low -orbital satellites was focused on the application of low -orbit satellites.
Tang Feng's visit to the United Kingdom from last Sunday (June 11), invited to participate in the London Science and Technology Week event.Reuters quoted people familiar with the matter on Saturday that the British Security Secretary Tom Tugendhat met with Tang Feng on Wednesday (June 14), breaking the diplomatic practice of avoiding meeting with Taiwanese officials.
Sources revealed that the content of the talks is related to the joint security interests of both parties.It is reported that senior British Ministers usually do not contact Taiwanese officials, and Tonahart's move is likely to anger Beijing.
