Glory Technology combines its intelligent security control technologies with

its experience in implementing urban disaster prevention and relief projects

Last year was of great commemorative significance to the Taiwanese as it marked

the 20th anniversary of the 921 earthquake. Currently, governments at all

levels, including central, municipal and county, are advocating the planning

and construction of smart towns and counties by implementing smart city

projects with a focus on the development of smart and secure towns and

counties. The National Rescue Command Center held a 108-year Rescue Seminar on

December 11, 2019, at which Vice Minister of the Interior Chen Chong-yen spoke

highly of Glory Technology and presented a certificate of appreciation to the

firm, in addition to expressing his gratitude to public-minded companies and

non-governmental organizations for their tireless participation.

When delivering a keynote speech at the 20th Anniversary of the 921 Earthquake

Forum held on September 6, Dr. Chang emphasized the importance of keeping an

open mind when adopting a new approach to improving the efficiency of disaster

prevention and relief programs in urban areas by using ICT technology as a

vehicle to reduce injuries and deaths and save more lives. In addition to

explaining the connection between natural disasters and ICT technology used for

disaster prevention and relief, he also shared Glory Technology's experience in

supporting Taiwan's efforts in this area. Dr. Chang said, "ICT technology even

when applied intelligently cannot be a considered in and of itself a solution

for everything. However, top leaders and decision makers can define the right

general direction and make more informed decisions by leveraging their deeper

understanding of the technology. When faced with a life-threatening disaster,

failure is not a solution for even one person affected by the situation. As a

result, visionary leaders need to make a firm resolution to implement disaster

prevention programs and to educate the public on disaster prevention as a way

of saving lives and protecting property. This is the government's ultimate goal

as it continues to build smart and safe urban and rural communities while

moving towards intelligent governance. In addition, the goal of building smart

cities is to solve problems. Using a people-first approach to improving the

quality of life among local communities and preparing them for a safer and

brighter future is a common concern."

Glory Technology has learned from Japan's years of valuable experience in

disaster prevention and relief through a long-term partnership with NEC

Corporation. Additionally, the company is US-based Motorola Solutions' Regional

Channel Partner in Taiwan and Thailand while serving as a key strategic partner

for the implementation of mission-critical programs. Besides power plants and

power grids, the key infrastructure system in urban areas also includes

projects involving disaster prevention and relief, which requires a company be

capable of providing its experience in region-wide system integration rather

than simply supplying equipment. A solid partnership backed by years of

experience is a key cornerstone for Glory Technology as the firm continues to

solidify its presence in the field of disaster prevention. Dr. Chang, who has a

background in disaster prevention engineering, said in an interview: what

touched me most was that while the members of every household were at home busy

preparing their abodes for any possible flood situation during July and August,

the staff at Glory Technology did not go home. They stayed on duty, stationed

in the national disaster response center, with all engineers on standby to

serve the different parts of Taiwan, as well as the outlying islands, as

needed. Immediately after the occurrence of any earthquake, including the

Tainan Earthquake a few years ago, Glory Technology people always rushed to the

disaster sites in the shortest of time regardless of the weather, with the

mission of establishing real-time communication and saving as many lives as

possible during those critical hours when every minute counts.

Dr. Chang has led the team as they successfully expanded the business to

Thailand, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Macao over the last few years, based

on taking the experience that they had acquired in Taiwan and applying it to

other countries and regions. This year, the team partnered with French Airbus

Group to participate in FSD Security projects in Asian countries. Besides

intelligent disaster prevention, Glory Technology also realized many bright

achievements in intelligent transportation, including the establishment and

installment of the rail communication systems for the Thai Express Red Line and

Manila's Line 3. He also extended his thanks to the Ministry of Economic

Affairs' Industrial Development Bureau and the System Integration Promotion

Alliance (SIPA) platform. With the support of SIPA, Glory Technology has been

able to leverage its success in its home market in tandem with its

well-established product technologies as a way of gaining entry to overseas

markets. Dr. Chang believes that the company has properly chosen its path and

plans to continue in the direction that has already been set out. He hopes to

extend the experience of Taiwan's MIT products and marketing to other countries

and regions around the world and help more people in need.
