- Global Link Communications Holdings Limited is an investment holding company principally engaged in the development, production, sale, service, and operation of urban rail transit passenger information system solutions. The company’s core products and services include train-borne passenger information display systems, onboard public address systems, train-borne closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems, intelligent video surveillance systems, telecommunications application software, value-added telecommunication service systems, call center and broadband telecommunication systems, as well as provision of spare parts, system software and hardware upgrades, technical support, system solutions, product support, and after-sales services. Its solutions serve urban rail transit operators, train manufacturers, URT integrators, and telecommunications operators primarily in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Hong Kong, with additional operations in countries such as Malaysia and Turkey.
Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Hong Kong, Global Link operates through two main segments focusing on the PRC and Hong Kong markets. The company supplies certified and licensed train information system products to train manufacturers under CRRC, provides operation and maintenance services for over 30 urban rail transit lines, and is involved in technological innovation centered around smart metro, smart operation and maintenance, and unmanned driving within the urban rail transit sector.
Recent major company changes include the completion of additional purchases and delivery of train information systems for major projects such as Guangzhou Metro Line 2 and Line 11, Wuhan Metro Line 16, Qianchuan Metro Line, Harbin Metro Lines 1 to 3, and the Istanbul Airport Line in Turkey. The company also adjusted its research strategy by suspending the 5G version development of its CA-SIM technology for smart city projects due to technical difficulties and high costs, refocusing instead on 4G network-compatible products for ongoing smart city development and pilot programs overseas. While the COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions have eased, leading to gradual recovery in socio-economic activities, Global Link experienced a slight revenue decline in its customer relationship management (CRM) segment, primarily due to economic downturns in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. Despite this, the company increased investment in research and development to enhance competitive advantages and continues to maintain strong partnerships with prominent local and international entities within the urban rail and telecommunications industries.
Global Link Communications Holdings Limited remains confident in the long-term growth prospects driven by city interconnectivity in the Greater Bay Area and industry integration, positioning itself to capitalize on new business opportunities in both the urban rail transit and CRM markets. The company is listed on the GEM of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under the ticker 8060.HK.
