FiduciaEdge and T-RAY Power Source Obtain National Certification and Collaborate with CASwell to Enhance Cybersecurity for EV Charging Infrastructure

2024/11/26 – As electric vehicle (EV) adoption increases in Taiwan, the protection of vast volumes of user data faces significant challenges. FiduciaEdge’s edge computing technology has not only achieved ISO 27001 certification but was also recognized by STL Partners, a telecom consultancy and research firm, as one of the top 15 global edge computing security companies. This recognition underscores the technology’s credibility, with multiple publicly listed companies already adopting and collaborating with FiduciaEdge.

John K. Zao, Chairman and CTO of FiduciaEdge, stated that the company’s trusted edge computing technology delivers high efficiency, real-time processing, and robust cybersecurity applications. These services are particularly vital given the growing demand for edge computing in smart city initiatives, intelligent transportation systems, and the financial sector. In collaboration with T-RAY Power Source, FiduciaEdge focuses on building secure EV charging stations, prioritizing the protection of large-scale user data.

John K. Zao emphasized that the cybersecurity solutions implemented in the certified charging stations utilize industrial-grade edge computing devices designed and manufactured by CASwell. Known for their stability, functionality, compatibility, scalability, and brand reputation, these devices are considered the best choice in the industry.

Reaforl Hong, General Manager of CASwell, pointed out that the company supports customers and strategic partners by integrating software and hardware solutions quickly and comprehensively. This approach shortens development timelines for application platforms and leverages CASwell’s supply chain and manufacturing resources to offer cost-effective, versatile product lines. These products address diverse IT, OT, CT, and DT networking and cybersecurity requirements.

Recently, T-RAY Power Source also achieved ISO 9001 certification for its production facilities and cybersecurity certification for its charging equipment. The company meets the cybersecurity requirements for EV charging interface networks and has passed the “Information Security Technical Specifications for EV Charging Equipment.” This certification confirms that its “EV charging equipment” meets international and national standards for cybersecurity, including:

  1. Physical security
  2. System security
  3. Secure firmware updates
  4. Communication security
  5. Authentication and authorization mechanisms

Danny Lin, CEO of T-RAY Power Source, emphasized that their EV charging equipment can be remotely managed to provide services and eliminate potential cybersecurity risks, reassuring users about automotive data security. In June 2023, Taiwan’s Bureau of Standards, Metrology, and Inspection revised the VPC system for EV charging equipment to include cybersecurity verification. T-RAY Power Source recently obtained the EV charging equipment information security technical specifications certification from the Telecommunications Technology Center, with the certification ID SL4-A2-T-0014.

Founded in 2022, T-RAY Power Source specializes in commercial EV charging station deployment and the design and manufacturing of charging stations. Inspired by discussions on carbon neutrality during the 2020 G20 Summit, the company focuses on energy-saving and carbon-reduction solutions. Its innovative 240 kW DC fast chargers can fully charge EVs in 15–30 minutes. These chargers are customizable and adaptable to market demands. T-RAY Power Source has collaborated with numerous public companies and franchise owners, achieving milestones such as:

  • Winning the 18th Golden Torch Award
  • Being recognized as a top-performing and promising company
  • Receiving annual innovation design awards
  • Joining Taiwan Tech Arena (TTA) as a startup team
  • Completing a microgrid project with wind and solar energy in collaboration with National Taiwan Ocean University in 2023
  • Partnering with ASUS Intelligent Solutions for EV charging equipment procurement in 2024
