As the demand for voice, data, and video applications increases and the challenges for the company to be cost-effective in operation and maintenance also increase, Chunghwa Telecommunication (CHT) decides to take Ethernet technology and FTTB (Fiber To The Building) instead of traditional deployment such as coaxed copper for the provisioning of telecommunication services to customers. Because the fast, low-cost, mutual, easy to construct characteristics of Ethernet, it is convinced that service providers is competitive to deliver Ethernet-based FTTB services to customers through established Metropolitan Area Network. Therefore, CHT decide to deliver high bandwidth, lower cost and value-added services to the customers of residential areas and campus through Ethernet-based technology. This not only means huge saving of communication cost to users, but also helps CHT to generate new revenue, new subscribers, and even gain a stronger position in the shuffling telecommunication new market.
