(Central News Agency reporter Chao Min-ya, Taipei, 15th) With the widespread application of artificial intelligence (AI) driving increased demand for network bandwidth and stability, Kbro Broadband today announced the official launch of its new generation 10G (Gbps) broadband, targeting home and enterprise users to create a faster and more stable comprehensive broadband service.
Kbro Broadband held a press conference today to unveil its new generation broadband deployment blueprint. Kbro Broadband Chairman Lu Rong-hui, General Manager Hsieh Ming-yi, and National Communications Commission (NCC) Acting Chairman Chen Chung-shu attended.
Hsieh Ming-yi stated that Kbro Broadband launched 100M internet service in 2012, upgraded to 1G fiber internet in 2019, and officially announced its entry into the 10G era in 2026. Since 2023, Kbro Broadband's broadband revenue has surpassed its cable TV revenue, currently serving nearly 1.2 million households.
Hsieh Ming-yi said that Kbro Broadband invested NT$10 billion over five years to accelerate network construction, collaborating with international technology giant Harmonic to deploy a "Distributed Access Architecture" (DAA) and introduce XGS-PON technology, providing bidirectional high-speed broadband services, increasing network flexibility, scalability, and low-latency processing capabilities, while also being energy-efficient and promoting environmental sustainability.
He pointed out that Kbro Broadband also upgraded its system to DOCSIS 3.1 Ultra, simultaneously optimizing fiber nodes and core transmission systems to reduce noise interference, effectively improving spectrum utilization, and fully expanding the frequency to 1.2GHz, boosting upload performance by 10 times.
Hsieh Ming-yi stated that Kbro Broadband introduced a "DAA/FTTH hybrid architecture" to support home and commercial needs. On one hand, in existing communities and residential areas, it upgrades existing equipment and architecture to improve network speed without significantly altering lines, reducing construction impact. On the other hand, in new developments and commercial buildings, it directly introduces a full fiber-optic network, providing enterprises with 10G (R-OLT technology) and 100G (switch technology) network services.
Hsieh Ming-yi pointed out that in addition to bandwidth upgrades, Kbro Broadband integrated Mesh Wi-Fi 6 whole-house coverage technology, and this year introduced new generation Wi-Fi 7 equipment to create a high-speed internet environment without dead spots. In addition, Kbro Broadband collaborated with Trend Micro to strengthen network protection mechanisms, providing multiple protections against hacking and fraud. As of March 31, 2026, it has blocked over 15 million network attacks.
He stated that he hopes to build a large technology platform, operating through project division of labor, adopting an open architecture for cooperation, which can quickly introduce AI, value-added audio-visual, communication, AIoT applications, etc., hoping to jointly drive industrial development.
Hsieh Ming-yi emphasized that broadband combined with diverse OTT and cable TV will be the standard for future broadband services to meet consumers' demands for high-speed bandwidth and audio-visual entertainment. Furthermore, the industry should replace competition with cooperation and complementarity, enhancing overall reliability to over 90% through network redundancy, and strengthening the value of service content, rather than simply engaging in price wars. He also called on public departments to include heterogeneous network company backup circuits in bidding specifications to jointly build Taiwan's network resilience. (Editor: Lin Shu-yuan) 1150415
