Session Description:
The modern digital economy and the daily lives of citizens rely heavily on a resilient and secure internet infrastructure. Taiwan, being a crucial node in global internet connectivity, faces unique challenges and opportunities in ensuring its network resilience.
This session will delve into two critical aspects: the vulnerability of submarine cables and the potential of satellite communications. Submarine cables, the backbone of global data transmission, are susceptible to natural disasters, accidental damage, and intentional threats. This session will discuss the current state of submarine cable infrastructure in Taiwan, identifying key vulnerabilities and proposing strategies to enhance their resilience and security. In parallel, the advent of satellite communications offers a promising alternative to traditional undersea cables. We will explore the latest advancements in satellite technology and their applicability to Taiwan’s context, assessing their potential to provide redundant and resilient internet connectivity.
Join us as we bring together experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss these pressing issues and collaborate on building a more resilient and secure internet infrastructure for Taiwan. The insights gained from this session will be crucial for shaping future policies and investments in Taiwan’s digital landscape.
