[Via Satellite 06-29-2016] Transcontinental Enterprises Company, headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, has awarded a contract to the ASC Signal Division of Communications & Power Industries (CPI) to provide nine Earth station antennas to be installed in the outlying islands and remote areas of Taiwan. The installations are designed to improve basic telecommunications coverage in parts of Taiwan that are mountainous and remote, reducing the risk of a digital divide in those areas by providing better telecommunications access.

Under the contract with Transcontinental, CPI ASC Signal Division will provide a broad range of Earth station antennas, consisting of five 4.9 meter, one 7.6 meter, and three 3.7 meter Earth station antennas. All of the antennas will be equipped with the CPI ASC Signal Division Next-Generation Controller (NGC), which gives the local operator a central device to control and operate multiple antenna systems.
