In today's era of accelerated integration of digitalization and urbanization, East has made important contributions to the construction and development of urban infrastructure in different fields with its excellent technical strength and innovation capabilities, and has become a key participant in promoting urban progress.
In Qingdao, the city recently reached an important milestone in the construction of the metro with the official opening of the western extension of Metro Line 2. With a total length of about 3.84 kilometers, this line is of great significance as a key project of Qingdao's three-year urban renewal and construction campaign. It has successfully broken through the traffic barriers of the Jiaoji Railway and the new crown elevated road to key areas such as international cruise port area, small port and ferry, greatly improved the travel conditions of residents in the old city in the west, and at the same time built a solid transportation support for the development and construction of the international cruise port area, and strongly promoted Qingdao to move towards a modern marine economic development highland and a leading modern marine city. Easter's smart power system plays an important role in this project, providing a comprehensive and stable UPS power guarantee for the core systems of dedicated communication, environmental monitoring, passenger information, smart operation and maintenance, automatic fare collection and fire alarm of key facilities such as stations and control centers. This is not the first time that East has made its mark in the Qingdao Metro project, as its smart power products have won a high degree of trust with their outstanding performance in the first phase of Metro Line 6, Line 1, Line 4 and Line 8, fully demonstrating its deep technical background and rich practical experience in the field of rail transit. In fact, Easter's UPS power supply products and solutions have been widely deployed in the field of global rail transit, from the driverless subway project in Hawaii in the United States to the subway, high-speed rail and light rail projects in many first- and second-tier cities in China, such as Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway, Beijing maglev train, Hainan Island high-speed railway, etc., all have their figures, covering more than 50 cities, establishing a high reputation in the industry and becoming a reliable brand of rail transit power guarantee.

Thousands of miles away in Qingyang City, Gansu Province, East has also made remarkable achievements. In the wave of the "Eastern Data and Western Computing" project, the construction of Qingyang data center cluster is booming. In the three years since the implementation of the "Eastern Data and Western Computing" project, the scale of Qingyang cluster racks has exceeded 31,000, the scale of computing power has exceeded 50,000 P and achieved 100% consumption, and the first domestic 10,000 card computing power cluster has also been built, which is in a leading position in the country. As a leading enterprise in the digital economy that cooperated with Qingyang earlier, East is deeply integrated into the local development strategy and actively practices the concept of "building chains, supplementing chains, extending chains, and strengthening chains". The equipment manufacturing base of the "Eastern Data and Western Computing" Digital Computing Center (Qingyang Huanxian County) of East Group, which it has built with all its might, has achieved initial results, and the No. 1 plant will start negotiations and construction in 2023, and will be successfully put into operation in May this year. The base mainly produces large, medium and small data centers (including liquid cooling), wind and solar energy storage power generation systems and high-end UPS power supplies, providing strong industrial support for the construction of Qingyang data center clusters, and therefore was awarded the "2024 Qingyang Data Center Cluster Construction Outstanding Contribution Enterprise" at the "2024 China Computing Valley Digital Industry Development Conference" held on December 20, 2024, and won the commendation of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.
Easter's outstanding performance in Qingdao Metro and Qingyang data center projects is not accidental, but the inevitable result of its long-term focus on technology research and development and industrial innovation. As a leading UPS power supply enterprise, a key high-tech enterprise of the National Torch Program, a national technological innovation demonstration enterprise, and a national intellectual property demonstration enterprise, East has been deeply engaged in the power electronics industry for more than 30 years, and has accumulated more than 70 core technologies and more than 800 patents, building a complete high-end power supply solution system, and has strong comprehensive strength.
Looking forward to the future, East will continue to uphold the concept of innovation-driven development and deepen its layout in the field of digital economy and infrastructure construction. In terms of rail transit, we will continue to optimize the performance of UPS power supply products, expand the scope of services, and provide safe and reliable power guarantee for subways, high-speed railways and other projects in more cities. In the field of data centers, we will further increase R&D investment, improve the equipment manufacturing capacity of data computing centers, strengthen collaboration with the eastern region and other partners, explore more innovative application scenarios and business models, and help Qingyang and even the national digital computing industry move towards a higher-quality development stage, inject a steady stream of impetus into the intelligent and digital transformation of the city, and continue to write a more brilliant chapter in the grand picture of urban construction in the new era.
