ELECTRONIC SHOW DISPLAYS DIGITAL, WIRELESS, GREEN TECHNOLOGY

Taipei, Oct. 9 (CNA) The Taiwan International Electronics Autumn Show, the largest electronic trade show in Asia, has transformed into a showcase of the island's latest electronic technologies, organizers said Monday.

In its 33rd year, the "Taitronics Autumn" is spotlighting what the electrical and electronic industries -- two of Taiwan's most competitive sectors -- have to offer in digital, wireless, and green technology from Oct. 9- 13 at the Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC).

Organizers have set up eight themed pavilions along with a cross-strait section. More than 1,100 local and foreign manufacturers are participating in the five-day event and setting up more than 2,600 booths. Organizers estimate the number of participants will exceed 60,000.

Farglory Realty, a Taiwanese realty company, demonstrated the "future digital home" while Shin Kong Security presented the digital security solution for home applications. Together, they have new digital household electronic products that were formerly just a concept but are now available in reality.

The wireless communication and networking section gathers the best of Taiwan's network communication companies and showcases advanced products, which include wireless networking equipments, VoIP gateway, fiber-optic communication products, and Bluetooth products.

In order to keep up with a worldwide trend in environmental protection and green products, the event also actively promoted testing issues regarding digital television, RoHS (restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment), safety regulations, electromagnetic
radiation and telecommunication.

"Taitronics Autumn 2006 hopes world buyers will be impressed and feel they have attained their goal of one-stop shopping," said Rock Hsu, Chairman of the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (TEEMA), one of the event's organizers.

As Taiwanese companies tirelessly work on developing electronic technologies, Hsu also claimed that foreign buyers can now have the solid experience of the "one-stop solution," in addition to simply procuring electronic parts and components.
