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 (FET) formalized a distribution agreement with Amazon Leo on May 28, 2026, becoming an authorized distributor of its low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network services for businesses and civilian public sector organizations in Taiwan. FET plans to introduce these high-speed broadband services as early as next year, pending regulatory approvals, leveraging its network operations experience and information and communication systems integration capabilities to augment traditional networks and extend service reach beyond existing footprints. This follows Far EasTone's announcement on May 20, during its 2026 shareholders meeting, that it had achieved year-on-year growth in consolidated revenue and profit in 2025, while also confirming the signing of the cooperation agreement with Amazon Leo. Earlier in May, on the 11th, FET received the Techtextil Innovation Award 2026 in the New Production Technology category for its newly developed gel spinning system.
