Visual AI specialist Iveda is to provide the Government of Taiwan with the infrastructure for a state-of-the-art video command, communication and control system. The contract, worth $1.7 million, covers some 45 locations throughout Taiwan, and includes networking equipment and interprocess communication (IPC) computers.

All additional locations are anticipated to be completed by year end and will be overseen and managed by Iveda Taiwan.

The project deployment has the potential for an additional 194 locations to be put under contract in the future, as there are a total of 300 locations countrywide. Iveda is unable to disclose the agency identity due to the sensitivity of the project confidentiality.

This contract follows closely behind several Taiwan-based smart city deals––worth more than $1M––which Iveda unveiled early this year. Iveda Taiwan continues to work with local organisations and government municipalities to expand the company’s AI, IoT, and smart city offerings across the nation.

“As the need for robust, AI-powered video surveillance continues to expand worldwide, Iveda’s technology is keeping citizens, communities, and government personnel safe,” said David Ly, Iveda CEO and founder. “The company is poised to continue its momentum for the second half of 2023, all while effectively improving security operations and quality of life for the people of Taiwan. We’re eager to continue strengthening our partnerships in the region through this contract and beyond.”

“Iveda Taiwan has experienced impressive growth in the past year from new and returning, long-term, clients,” added Ing-Hang Shiau, president of Iveda Taiwan. “The Taiwan government agency client understands the need for state-of-the-art, comprehensive AI security solutions and this strategic contract expansion is the proof of that mindset.”
