MediaTek Inc (聯發科) and its subsidiary Airoha Technology Corp (達發科技) on Monday said they are jointly developing a new artificial intelligence (AI) fiber gateway platform to enhance telecoms’ network performance by 30 percent.
The two companies made the announcement before the Network X show in Paris, which is being held from Tuesday to today.
The platform would be customizable for telecoms, they said.

The gateway plaftorm could seamlessly fuse MediaTek’s Filogic 680 Wi-Fi 7 with Airoha’s AN7581, enabling cutting-edge AI computing capabilities, they said.
MediaTek, the world’s biggest mobile phone chip supplier, owns about a 66 percent stake in Airoha.
The platform supports major software frameworks including prplOS, RDK-B and OpenWrt, and uses AI-driven autonomous learning to analyze and optimize network traffic, and manage tasks, it said.
By embedding advanced data analytics engines into the AI gateway, the platform enables carrier-grade edge AI services, the two companies said.
Telecoms can use AI for intelligent traffic classification and real-time optimization, achieving more than 30 percent improvement in user network experiences, they said.
The gateway performs automated root-cause analysis of network issues right at the endpoint, slashing mean time to recovery by 40 percent, they said.
Airoha said its fiber broadband networking chips, combined MediaTek’s Wi-Fi chips, have been adopted by Europe’s major telecoms, helping the subsidiary build a strong foothold in the continent and expand its reach to the UK, Spain and Italy.
Fixed networking chips — fiber broadband and ethernet — were one of the biggest revenue sources for Airoha in the second quarter, making up about 40 percent to 45 percent of total. Wireless communication chips — Bluetooth audio chips and satellite positioning chips — were the biggest revenue contributor during that quarter, accounting for 45 percent to 50 percent, it said.
HORMUZ ISSUE: The US president said he expected crude prices to drop at the end of the war, which he called a ‘minor excursion’ that could continue ‘for a little while’ The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Kuwait started reducing oil production, as the near-closure of the crucial Strait of Hormuz ripples through energy markets and affects global supply. Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) is “managing offshore production levels to address storage requirements,” the company said in a statement, without giving details. Kuwait Petroleum Corp said it was lowering production at its oil fields and refineries after “Iranian threats against safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.” The war in the Middle East has all but closed Hormuz, the narrow waterway linking the Persian Gulf to the open seas,
Nanya Technology Corp (南亞科技) yesterday said the DRAM supply crunch could extend through 2028, as the artificial intelligence (AI) boom has led the world’s major memory makers to dramatically reduce production of standard DRAM and allocate a significant portion of their capacity for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips. The most severe supply constraints would stretch to the first half of next year due to “very limited” increases in new DRAM capacity worldwide, Nanya Technology president Lee Pei-ing (李培瑛) told a news briefing. The company plans to increase monthly 12-inch wafer capacity to 20,000 in the first half of 2028 after a
Taiwan has enough crude oil reserves for more than 100 days and sufficient natural gas reserves for more than 11 days, both above the regulatory safety requirement, Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-hsin (龔明鑫) said yesterday, adding that the government would prioritize domestic price stability as conflicts in the Middle East continue. Overall, energy supply for this month is secure, and the government is continuing efforts to ensure sufficient supply for next month, Kung told reporters after meeting with representatives from business groups at the ministry in Taipei. The ministry has been holding daily cross-ministry meetings at the Executive Yuan to ensure
RATIONING: The proposal would give the Trump administration ample leverage to negotiate investments in the US as it decides how many chips to give each country US officials are debating a new regulatory framework for exporting artificial intelligence (AI) chips and are considering requiring foreign nations to invest in US AI data centers or security guarantees as a condition for granting exports of 200,000 chips or more, according to a document seen by Reuters. The rules are not yet final and could change. They would be the first attempt to regulate the flow of AI chips to US allies and partners since US President Donald Trump’s administration said it rescinded its predecessor’s so-called AI diffusion rules. Those rules sought to keep a significant amount of AI
