Yvonne Li, President of Far EasTone, says:
"Providing the best LTE network in Taiwan will be an important
stepping stone to execute on our long term strategy. Besides
telecom services, operators need to accelerate expansion into new

networks become indispensable on the way to develop 4G and evolve
to 5G. Through our partnership with Ericsson, we are looking
forward to providing advanced mobile experiences and a connected
future for our users."
Jan Signell, Head of Ericsson Region North East
Asia, says: "We are pleased to see Far EasTone share our vision of
the Networked Society, and by adding new capabilities to their LTE

5G. Developing superior networks that enable seamless connectivity
is a critical element in network evolution. With global scale and

Evolved Packet Core, VoLTE, Wi-Fi calling and professional
services. All to build a world-leading LTE network of enhanced
mobile broadband experience for Far EasTone customers.
