On the 21st, an experiment was conducted on Matsu Island, a remote island in Taiwan, to secure Internet communication using satellites. The island is only about 200 kilometers from Fujian Province in China, while it is nearly 2 kilometers away from the main island of Taiwan.
On this island, submarine cables have been cut since the beginning of this year, and communication has been temporarily cut off. The Taiwanese authorities plan to proceed with the development of satellite communication equipment in the future. The authorities believe that securing Internet-connected communications on remote islands in the event of a disaster or emergency is important.
