Central News Agency (CNA), Kaohsiung, 8th - Taiwan Mobile announced its partnership with Japanese company Nirik to export its ''5G Smart Firefighting and Rescue System'' to Japan, while also eyeing opportunities in Southeast Asia. Chief Business Officer, Sylvia Chu, stated that with the explosive demand for AI and smart applications from enterprises, Taiwan Mobile''s revenue related to AI applications is expected to grow by more than fourfold this year. The AIDC (AI Data Center) and computing power services are expected to contribute fully to revenue next year.
Taiwan Mobile announced today that its pioneering ''5G Smart Firefighting and Rescue Auxiliary System'' has been implemented, having been introduced to the Kaohsiung City Fire Department early this year. The vast majority of solution suppliers are domestic. Taiwan Mobile plans to use Kaohsiung as a starting point to gradually expand throughout Taiwan and is actively pursuing international markets such as Japan and Vietnam.
Taiwan Mobile also announced today the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Japanese digital transformation consulting firm Nirik to introduce the ''5G Smart Firefighting and Rescue Auxiliary System'' into relevant application scenarios in Japan. Taiwan Mobile is also in discussions with Vietnamese system integrator CONG TY TNHH ADV BRAND GLOBAL for cooperation and will work with strategic investment partner SYSTEX Corporation to compete for opportunities in Southeast Asia.
Sylvia Chu, Chief Business Officer of Taiwan Mobile''s Enterprise Business Group, said that the 5G smart rescue solution developed by Taiwan Mobile can be extended to fields such as smart manufacturing, energy inspection, and logistics warehouse management. The company will expand from Taiwan to Japan and the global market.
In terms of revenue growth, Taiwan Mobile''s enterprise business revenue grew by 26% year-on-year in the first quarter of this year, with revenue from AI and cloud services seeing explosive growth of 471% year-on-year in the first quarter.
Chu observed that after the advent of generative AI, consumer applications became clearer. Enterprises were still in an exploratory phase the year before last, but last year they began a learning period with strong growth in applications related to customer service, retail, operations, and productivity. This year, demand has exploded. ''It is expected that the full-year revenue related to AI applications will grow by more than 4 times year-on-year.''
Furthermore, Taiwan Mobile previously announced a collaboration with Vantage to jointly develop an AI Data Center in Guishan, Taoyuan. The AI Factory, built by GMI Cloud and NVIDIA, is located in Taiwan Mobile''s AIDC and is expected to be fully online in August, with demand for its computing power services exceeding supply.
Chu pointed out that revenue from Taiwan Mobile''s AIDC and computing power business increased by 87% year-on-year in the first quarter, and it is expected to contribute more in the fourth quarter, with full-year contributions starting next year. Cybersecurity-related revenue grew by 393% year-on-year in the first quarter, and ICT integration services grew by 191%, with higher growth expected for the full year. This will also drive growth in the high-proportion and stable telecommunications infrastructure revenue.
Taiwan Mobile had previously set a goal for its enterprise business revenue to reach NT00 billion by 2030, hoping to surpass its competitors as a latecomer.
Chu revealed that in addition to organic business growth, Taiwan Mobile will expand its enterprise business revenue through several M&A (mergers and acquisitions). Besides SYSTEX, companies in the fields of cybersecurity and AI are also being considered as investment targets. (Editor: Chang Chun-mao) 1150508
