Far EasTone, also known as Far EasTone Telecommunications, is a publicly owned company headquartered in Taiwan. Founded in 1997 as a joint venture with AT&T and currently part of the Far Eastern Group, the company employs approximately 1,500 individuals and reported $3.5B in revenue as of 2025, functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company's core business involves providing mobile communication services, having launched a fully integrated dual-band system and being among the first to roll out 4G LTE and 5G NR services in Taiwan. Far EasTone has expanded its network capabilities through strategic mergers and acquisitions, including the acquisition of KG Telecom and the merger with Asia Pacific Telecom, which bolstered its wireless spectrum. Beyond core mobile services, the company operates a digital division that develops multimedia services, such as the friDay Video OTT platform, providing integrated telecommunications and digital content.
Far EasTone Telecommunications reported "record-breaking performance" with all key performance indicators (KPIs) exceeding guidance during its second-quarter 2026 investor update on August 6, 2026. The Taiwan-based telecom and digital services provider achieved its strongest quarterly results across multiple financial metrics, with shares trading at $102, a 0.99% increase from the previous close of $101. Previously, on May 28, 2026, Far EasTone (FET) signed a distribution agreement with Amazon Leo, becoming an authorized distributor of its low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network services for businesses and civilian public sector organizations in Taiwan. FET indicated it would leverage its network operations experience and information and communication systems integration capabilities to provide Taiwanese customers with connectivity that augments traditional networks and extends beyond existing service footprints. This followed the company's 2026 shareholders meeting on May 20, 2026, where Far EasTone announced year-on-year growth in consolidated revenue and profit for 2025 and also confirmed the signing of a cooperation agreement with Amazon Leo for its low-earth-orbit services.
