Taiwan's MOEA AID Leads 9 Telecom Firms to Interop Tokyo 2026, Announcing Japan-Taiwan Strategic Alliance

Coinciding with Interop Tokyo 2026, held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba from June 10–12, the Institute for Information Industry (III), supported by the Administration for Industrial Development (AID) of Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs, has organized the 'ConnectX Taiwan' pavilion. This initiative aims to promote Taiwanese network communication companies in the next-generation telecom sector and expand business opportunities in Japan and global markets.

Under the theme 'Integration of Open Network and AI Communication,' nine leading firms—Askey, Ataya, G REIGNS, LITEON, Saviah, TransNet, Trans Electric, WNC, and SERCOMM—are presenting a comprehensive range of solutions from core networks and open base stations to terminal access.

### Key Highlights - **Ataya**: Showcasing a heterogeneous private network management platform integrating private 5G, Edge AI, and Zero Trust security. - **G REIGNS**: Presenting O-RAN solutions with commercial track records and AI on RAN applications for network optimization. - **LITEON**: Highlighting FR1+FR2 dual-band small cells and RUs. - **WNC**: Displaying an integrated solution combining AI 5G FWA, Wi-Fi 8, and indoor small cells. - **SERCOMM**: Demonstrating an end-to-end 5G FWA broadband access architecture to solve 'last mile' challenges for fiber operators.

### Strengthening Japan-Taiwan Cooperation A significant milestone was reached with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Taiwan's Ataya and Japan's Marubun Corporation. This strategic partnership combines Ataya's next-gen Edge AI platform with Marubun's extensive sales network and system integration expertise in Japan. The companies plan to launch PoC verification in Q4 2026, accelerating towards full commercial deployment in 2027. This collaboration is part of AID's long-term effort since 2020 to link Taiwan's open network industry with international markets, resulting in 16 major international achievements to date.
