Far EasTone Telecommunications and Elveo Mobile have announced a partnership to expand direct-to-device satellite connectivity. Satcom.Digital reported on 28 October 2026 that the cooperation is intended to broaden Far EasTone's satellite communications capabilities.

From mobile networks to satellite coverage

Far EasTone President Chee Ching said the company is integrating satellite broadband and direct-to-device services with its mobile network. The stated objective is to extend connectivity beyond areas covered by terrestrial infrastructure and improve network resilience.

Direct-to-device technology can allow compatible standard mobile devices to maintain basic communications where conventional mobile coverage is limited. Far EasTone said the broader strategy is moving toward a multi-layer communications architecture that combines terrestrial mobile networks, satellite broadband and direct-to-device services.

Potential applications across Taiwan

The partnership is aimed at applications for consumers, enterprises and public services. Elveo Mobile said its network combines satellite assets, global spectrum resources and a network of more than 50 mobile partners, while the companies described the cooperation as a step toward more resilient connectivity.

For investors, the announcement adds a strategic technology-development theme to Far EasTone's existing telecoms business. The report does not provide financial targets, investment amounts or a timetable for commercial deployment, so the near-term earnings effect cannot be assessed from this announcement alone.
