With the evolution of mobile communications technology and the opening up of telecommunications services to competition, a variety of innovative applications have been launched and the spectrum resources that play an important role in infrastructure have become even more valuable. Because of the high economic value of spectrum resources, it is important that governments maximize the use of such resources through proper planning and allocation of communications services. 

To improve the efficiency of this public asset and to promote market competition, the National Communications Commission (NCC) employs the competitive bidding process that is adopted by most other countries. This process provides the most competitive and qualified operators with mobile broadband services at the most attractive prices.


The allocation of mobile broadband services is handled through an auction process, following a review of qualifications. In order to facilitate the auction process and improve overall efficiency, whilst considering the need to reduce incidences of human error and invalid quotes, the NCC has decided to develop an electronic online quotation method for auctions. AEB has been commissioned to construct an online bidding system that combines speed, performance and security. With the ongoing support of AEB's online bidding system, the previous annual results of NCC licensing are as follows:
2017
Mobile Broadband Business 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz Band E-Auction. 
The auction lasted for 4 days with a total of 38 rounds. 
The total bidding amount was NTD $28.26 billion.
2015
Mobile Broadband Business 2500 MHz and 2600 MHz Band E-Auction. 
The auction lasted for 15 days with a total of 142 rounds. 
The total bidding amount was NTD $27.92 billion.
2013
Mobile Broadband Business 700 MHz, 900 MHz and 1800 MHz Band E-Auction. 
The auction lasted for 40 days with a total of 393 rounds. 
The total bidding amount was NTD $118.65 billion.


Multi-line backup
Multi-line backup is used on the auction side. 
Networks are interconnected with a Site-to-Site IPsec VPN connection. 
Additional plans for FTTB dedicated dual-line backup to ensure uninterrupted connectivity.
Data Transfer Encryption
Auction data is signed using a business certification card to ensure the non-repudiation of auction data.
Security
A management log system manages and collects log records. 
Rogue connections are blocked and the network is protected against packet drop attacks.
Integration of an accelerated bidding mechanism
The bidding mechanism reduces the time needed for bidding.
Export of auction results
At the end of each round, auction results can be exported for public reference.
Design of an automated test system
The system produces bids automatically based on the script, reducing the manual testing time.
