ITRI Maps AI-RAN, Silicon Photonics and Space Computing for 2027
At an ITRI seminar on Taiwan’s communications industry, speakers outlined AI-RAN integration, silicon photonics, space computing and 6G as major technology directions for 2027. ITRI estimated Taiwan’s communications-industry output could reach NT$1.4471 trillion in 2027, up 3.0% annually, while Yole Intelligence projected the global silicon-photonics market could grow from US$1.82 billion in 2023 to US$25.2 billion in 2030. The report also relayed ITRI’s account of a SoftBank and Ericsson commercial-network trial in Japan, claiming AI-native scheduling raised spectral efficiency by up to 25% and downlink user throughput by up to 50%.
The seminar connects AI infrastructure demand with three broader communications priorities—AI-native radio access networks, high-bandwidth optical hardware and space-based computing—providing a source-attributed view of where Taiwan expects industry investment and deployment activity to concentrate.
工研院今日舉辦「眺望2027產業發展趨勢研討會」通訊場次，聚焦 AI 應用與雲端設施升級的台灣通訊產業發展趨勢，工研院產科國際所通訊與智慧聯網系統研究部經理陳佳滎，拆解 2027 年下世代通訊三大關鍵字，包括 AI-RAN、矽光子與太空算力。
AI 應用與雲端設施升級，驅動臺灣通訊產業產值穩步成長，預估 2027 產值可達 1 兆 4,471 億元，年成長 3.0%，陳佳滎表示，通訊產業正經歷著令人矚目的變革與創新，隨著 5G 網路已廣泛落地，業界正加速推動 5G-Advanced（5G-A）網路的商用部署，緊接著 6G 蓄勢待發。
