The 16th General Assembly of the Asian Seismological Commission (ASC) was held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan from April 25 to 30, 2026. It was attended by representatives and peers from more than 20‑odd international seismic organizations and administrative agencies, research institutions, universities and disaster mitigation departments, including China, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Russia, Belarus, Turkey, Mongolia, the United States, Greece and Nepal. Geolight Technology exhibited its core seismic‑monitoring equipment systems and solutions for surface, shallow‑well, deep‑well and marine observations. It demonstrated to global peers the R&D innovation strength and application achievements of China‑developed seismic‑technological products, drawing high attention from experts of multiple countries and generating multiple potential cooperation intentions.
I. Diverse Product Range Demonstrates Independent Technological Strength
At this conference, Geolight gave priority to introducing to global users its self‑developed GL‑WS60/120/360‑series ultra‑low‑noise broadband (ultra‑wide‑band) seismometers, GL‑CS60/120‑series low‑noise broadband seismometers, and GL‑MS30/60/120‑series miniature low‑noise high‑sensitivity broadband seismometers, as well as the EDAS‑24HR/27HR ultra‑high‑precision data acquisition units with low noise and large dynamic range.
Derived observation modes of the three core seismometer series cover surface observation, shallow‑well observation, deep‑well observation and marine seismic observation, enabling customized solutions for different‑scenario user requirements. Meanwhile, for participating experts and scholars engaged in seismic engineering and structural observation, Geolight highlighted its newly‑developed GL‑AX4‑series remote zero‑adjustment accelerometers/strong‑motion seismometers. All the above‑mentioned products have been widely deployed in the National Earthquake Early Warning Project, China Seismic Experimental Site, major catastrophe‑prevention projects, as well as numerous strong‑motion monitoring‑early‑warning and structural‑health‑monitoring projects for high‑rise buildings, lifeline projects and large high dams and reservoirs.
II. Belt and Road‑Initiative‑related Seismic‑Technology Cooperation: Testimony to Intelligent‑Made‑in‑China Strength
As a pioneer for Chinese digital seismic‑monitoring systems “going global”, Geolight showcased at the conference the successful practice of the overseas‑station (Armenia) project under the Belt and Road Seismic‑Monitoring Network Project. In 2024, Geolight’s team completed the construction of Armenia’s national seismic network in half a year. Site infrastructure, hardware equipment and software systems all represented independently‑developed technologies applied in overseas projects. The project has won unanimous acclaim from the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, Armenian Institute of Seismology, Chinese Embassy in Armenia and experts at home and abroad, and has become a new milestone for China‑Belt‑and‑Road‑country cooperation in seismic monitoring and disaster prevention and mitigation.
III. Deepen International Exchanges and Cooperation, Jointly Build a Global Safety Barrier
The ASC conference built an important bridge for participants to communicate and cooperate with the global seismic‑technology community. Through equipment demonstrations, project‑achievement sharing and technical exchanges, Geolight held in‑depth discussions with seismic institutions and research institutes of many countries on topics including modern seismic‑network construction, equipment operation&maintenance, data processing and data protocols, laying a foundation for future international project cooperation.
Since 2000, Geolight’s seismic instruments have reached more than 40 countries and regions via state‑sponsored aid and commercial export channels. In recent years, the company has quickened its pace of “going global”, bringing the benefits of Chinese scientific‑technological achievements to the whole world.
As a national “Little Giant” enterprise and a leading domestic player in seismic‑monitoring equipment, Geolight always adheres to the development philosophy of “Technological Innovation, Serving the World”. Going forward, it will further devote itself to seismic‑monitoring‑technology R&D, continuously optimize product performance and intelligent solutions, drive industrial development through technological innovation, take an active part in global seismic‑technology cooperation, and contribute Chinese strength to advancing global earthquake‑prevention and disaster‑mitigation undertakings.
