Thailand Continues to Meet Challenges, While Vietnam Takes Off
MARCH 2016 ● www.asmag.com
verall, Asia’s economic growth in 2015 and 2016 continues to outperform the rest of the world; although the region has also been impacted by China’s disappointing economic growth and the global deterioration of the oil price. South Asia beats the other Asian regions with 7.4-percent GDP growth in 2015 and predictions for 2016. India’s financial performance remains robust, with the highest growth in Asia, surpassing China. Among the ASEAN countries, Cambodia, Lao, Myanmar, and the Philippines maintained steady GDP growth, year over year, from 2012 to 2015, according to an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report. In terms of their foreign investment, Reuters and Nikkei News both reported that Vietnam set a record in 2015 and had its fastest growth rate in five years at 6.7 percent. O n t h e c o n t r a r y, T h a i l a n d ’ s foreign investment plunged 78 percent in 2015, with a big “drop off” in investment from Japan, China, U.S., and Europe, accordingly. The country’s military coups are struggling to boost Thailand’s economy. The Bangkok Post said the current military government released a new policy “to favor projects that employ high-technology, encourage innovation, or strengthen Thailand’s role as a regional and international
trading hub.” Security projects are strongly tied up with the government investment and big commercial installation. Thailand’s security market may still look gloomy in 2016. The government’s clear objectives in improving the country’s business investment environment helped Vietnam achieve an all-time high record in foreign investment. Many market analysts commented on how China’s economic slowdown and the US Federal Reserve’s evaluation of the increase of the interest rate are also the driving forces to boost the Vietnam economy. The healthy number of business activities has also created a huge demand in its security market. Being a member of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), Vietnam is expected to be Asia’s second fastest growing economy, after India, in the short term. The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), implemented in December of 2015, is expected to stimulate the integration and political and economic cooperation among its member countries. It will still take time to see how the community can help Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore get out of their current economic dilemma. Overall, the security market in Asia will enjoy abundant opportunities and meet the same challenges along with the regional economic development in 2016.

Bosch Provides Surveillance For Malaysian Cruise Center
The Boustead Cruise Center (BCC) is a dedicated cruise terminal in Port Klang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is often used by international cruise lines and frequented by visiting foreign naval vessels including aircraft carriers. Having recently acquired the cruise center, Boustead recognized the need for a comprehensive surveillance system. With increasing passenger traffic, the existing security system had to be upgraded to ensure the safety and security of the cruise center, its passengers, and terminal users. The key areas of focus for this surveillance system upgrade were to ensure that both the perimeters of the cruise center and high passenger traffic areas are closely monitored to prevent and deter crime. A combination of Bosch Security System’s surveillance cameras were deployed around the perimeters of the property. PTZ dome cameras with starlight technology are able to produce high-resolution images in extreme low-light conditions. Additional IP bullet cameras provide HD images for demanding security and surveillance network requirements. These cameras combined provide 24/7 surveillance of the compound. To complete the end-user experience, Bosch surveillance cameras were fully integrated with Milestone Systems’ video management software. This partnership enabled easy central monitoring of the cruise center.

Milestone Aids Observatory to Monitor Nest
James Cook University’s (JCU) Daintree Rainforest Observatory in Australia has an osprey nest on top of a crane near the canopy. To enable Daintree researchers to monitor the ospreys, JCU needed a camera that could be mounted in a delicate position and a system that could monitor the
14
ospreys’ movements and everything happening in and around the nest. They also required flexible video data storage management and a system that was easy for research fellows to download and use. JCU enlisted the help of CoastalCOMS, a longtime Milestone Solutions Partner for this project. They mounted Sony network cameras at the end of the crane boom and on the crane tower with a fiber optic cable to connect the cameras to the server room. The cameras, which operate at one megabit per second, sends data for viewing and recording on Milestone Systems’ XProtect Essential video management software (VMS). With a camera mounted on the crane, researchers are able to closely monitor the birds without disturbing them. They can also isolate video segments to capture still shots of the ospreys to export and share. The easy-to-use VMS interfaces allow research fellows with no prior VMS experience to quickly download and monitor the osprey camera output from various remote research facilities.

GKB Protects Power Plant in Thailand
EGAT is Thailand’s leading stateowned power utility. It is responsible for electric power generation and transmission for the whole country, as well as bulk electric energy sales. The power generation facilities consist of three thermal power plants, six combined cycle power plants, 22 hydropower plants, eight renewable energy plants, and a diesel power plant.
EGAT required a fire alarm system to protect its power plant equipment and decided to deploy GKB Security’s video fire detection system (VFDS) solution to meet their needs. GKB VFDS is an integrated video surveillance solution that is able to detect both flame and smoke at the same time in the “fire early stage.” Its visual alarm verification function can save users reconfirmation costs because users can monitor the real condition with the camera, which is an economic solution to detect and verify flame and smoke. The solution also adapted video image detection technology to conquer the limitations of a traditional fire detection system in open-space environments such as power plants. GKB provided EGAT with a high-tech fire and smoke detection system that can be easily installed and maintained. It not only offered the company a new way to detect flame and smoke, but also better performance in extremely-high indoor spaces compared to other conventional smoke detectors.

SALTO Secures College Campus in Australia
Hillcrest Christian College located in Reedy Creek, on Australia’s Gold Coast, was faced with the challenge of balancing the need to provide an open learning environment while ensuring the campus is safe and secure for both pupils and staff at all times. Hence, they decided to replace and upgrade their mechanical locking system with the latest electronic access control technology from SALTO Systems. It provided the school with a standalone battery-operated access control solution without having to hard wire. It also enabled them to set up or restrict access at will and they could cancel fobs instantly in cases of loss or theft without having to re-key doors as with their old style locks. The locking system even enabled authorities to integrate the time-table program for teachers with room access to ensure that only the room allocated can be accessed. Currently, 40 doors on-site, including administration entry doors, staff rooms, classrooms, gymnasium, theater, and the science lab were installed with online and offline electronic escutcheons. Special electronic panic bars were also
Smartphones Can Now Provide Extra Protection for Lone Workers

Driving Innovation: Eyes on
Over the years, Dahua Technology has established itself as a leading video surveillance solutions provider with presence in various parts of the world. This year, Dahua aims to establish a stronger presence in APAC, seizing growth opportunities in the region. In terms of technology, Dahua will roll out the new generation of its HDCVI technology and “true” end-to-end 4K solutions. BY William Pao

Fu Liquan, President, Dahua Technology
015 was a year of success for Dahua Technology, which streamlined its operations, pushed its global branding strategy, expanded research on innovative products and solutions, and explored new areas of business. Due to these efforts, Dahua was able to survive its most difficult period since founding and make a turnaround: last year its total sales were US$1.6 billion, a growth of 37.5 percent from 2014. Net profit was $0.2 billion, a growth of 20.1 percent. On a&s’ Security 50 list, Dahua’s ranking jumped from No. 6 in 2014 to No. 5 last year. Meanwhile, Dahua is continuing its globalization campaign as the company builds more presence in the world. Besides North America and Europe where Dahua already has subsidiaries, the company also established a subsidiary in Dubai at the end of last year, in the hope of expanding its influence in the Middle East. This year, Dahua will focus mainly on the APAC region. It has set up two subsidiaries — one in Australia and one in Singapore — and two offices — one in Thailand and one in Korea. “We are headquartered in Hangzhou, China, and I feel we’re in a good position to provide further service and support to our APAC customers and partners. That’s why we chose certain key regions to set up subsidiaries and offices,” said Fu Liquan, President of Dahua Technology. “Before, we had talked about building subsidiaries and offices in the region, but that was just at a planning stage. Starting this year, though, they will begin operation. They are now staffed with local experts who will not only sell our products but also provide the ‘softer’ part of the business, namely offering customer and after-sales support.” According to Fu, for the four markets where Dahua set up operations, each has its own growth opportunities and unique features. They can be summarized as follows.
”We are headquartered in Hangzhou, China, and I feel we’re in a good position to provide further service and support to our APAC customers and partners.“
Australia: The Australia subsidiary will position itself as the hub of Dahua’s operations in Oceania, covering both Australia and New Zealand where opportunities for video surveillance abound. “Compared to Southeast Asia, Japan, and Korea, Australia and New Zealand see relatively little manufacturing, so they always need to buy things, and that drives imports,” Fu said. “Secondly, for the western coast of Australia, we expect more new and upgrade projects on airports and railways in the near future, and that also triggers demands for security.” Korea: Korea is receptive towards new brands with high quality. At the same time, the size of the Korean security market isn’t to be ignored: its annual turnover value is $500 million, of which distribution accounts for $150 million. “That’s why we have set up an office there to manage the local distribution channel and see if we can make further inroads,” Fu said. Thailand: Thailand is one of the founding members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which now includes 10 nations: Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. With the so-called ASEAN Plus Three framework, under which ASEAN engages in further economic cooperation with China, South Korea, and Japan, Chinese enterprises can receive various preferential treatments from Thailand. At the same time, Thailand has long been a political, cultural, and tourism hub in ASEAN. “We set up the Thailand office as our springboard into the vast market of ASEAN,” Fu said. Singapore: Singapore and Thailand are both part of ASEAN, and Dahua’s operations in these two markets are positioned differently. For

Asia at IDIS; this amount is roughly equivalent to US$1 billion. The market has benefited from extensive government investment in safe and smart city projects over the past 10 years and an expected growth in residential and commercial construction is predicted to increase security spending as well. “Korea will probably maintain its lead in developing intelligent technology-based security services in the future,” said Jong-Sung Hwang, an ICT strategy expert who served in a number of key positions in the IT policy planning field in Korea and currently holds the position of VP at the National Information Society Agency. Hwang initiated the u-City project in 2005, one of the world’s first smart city projects, and later served as CIO of Seoul, in charge of launching the Smart Seoul 2015 initiatives. According to Hwang, the vast investment in smart city projects was one of the main drivers that accelerated the use of advanced IT technologies for physical security. These projects included investment in video surveillance and most important, connectivity and infrastructure. Korea is one of the most connected countries in the world, with high bandwidth accessibility, high cellular penetration, and plenty of investment in R&D. Korea’s technological prowess puts it at the forefront of technology. “We have done many projects in Korea and we have several resellers there. It is very similar to other countries with one exception; Korea is probably more technically competent than other countries. Some of the western countries do not have infrastructure as good as in Korea,” said Rustom Kanga, Founder and CEO of analytics provider iOmniscient.
BuSineSS environment
Security players seem to agree that in general the business environment in Korea is positive and easy to do business in. Language and cultural barriers exist; however, they do not pose any unusual difficulties that aren’t expected when entering a new market. “I see Korea as a fair and level playing field,” said Charles Cousins, MD of APAC and Japan at Genetec. “There is language barrier and cultural gap, but our local partners help with that. Our product is already localized to Korean and overall the business environment is conducive and it is easy to do business.” Government regulations meant to protect small-to-mediumsized manufacturers and systems integrator companies in certain projects are also a factor that may add to the challenge of market penetration. But overall, maintaining quality, reliability, and supplying proper technical support is a far greater challenge. “The protection of domestic manufacturers may add on to the challenge for market penetration. The major challenge may come from the increasing demand for quality and value for money,” explained Chris Cheung, Regional Sales Director for North Asia at Axis Communications.

Intercoms for the Home:

Opening Doors to New Possibilities BY William Pao

For years, residential intercoms have played their basic function of helping residents check the identity of a visitor, who can then be buzzed in should he or she be a known person. Today, intercom systems are seeing an expansion of that basic functionality, allowing further data-sharing between different members of the residential complex, integration with third-party devices, and remote monitoring via smartphones. In fact, many intercom vendors have rolled out their own smart home systems through which door entry as well as other household devices can be controlled.
ntercoms have gone through an evolution over the past decades, with analog, audiobased intercoms slowly transitioning into systems that enable transmission of digitized audio, video, and data signals. “Intercoms have experimented a transformation in terms of installation, features, and design: less wires, easier to install, universal use, adapted for every kind of people, a design for different styles, more durability, and specialized on making day-to-day living more comfortable,” said Elena Ravello, Brand Manager at Fermax. “Now intercoms are an essential part of homes, buildings, and businesses.” Today, more and more residences, especially apartment complexes, turn to IP-based intercoms, which are scalable, integrative, and capable of performing much more tasks than merely buzzing someone in. “IP-based intercoms will eventually replace analog ones,” said Flavio Miozzo, CEO of Infiniteplay. “Digital data transmission allows smart functions
Intercoms will evolve more and more toward smartphone and tablets, moving from a big screen hanging on our living room wall to the small screen we all have in our pockets. such as monitoring call information, data exchange between internal users, and customizable and user-friendly interface.” “Our system is designed based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP),” said Chih-Heng Wang, Project Manager at Amroad Technology. “Engineers can easily expand the infrastructure without the problems of compatibility. Also, a SIP-based system is easy to handshake with other third-party IP-based systems or devices.” Increasingly, remote control of the intercom via the mobile device is also gaining popularity, and IP makes that possible. “These days, people want to check visitor outside of houses, and this is related with smartphone demands,” said Jason Yeo, Territory Manager for Middle East and India at Commax. “People like to check and see many things from their smartphone.” “Intercoms will evolve more and more toward smartphone and tablets, moving from a big screen hanging on our living room wall to the small screen we all have in our pockets,” said Pierluigi Monticelli, Regional Manager for Middle East and Americas at Comelit.

he intruder alarm market, especially in developed economies, has always shown steady growth, unlike some other sectors of security that have remained more volatile. Reports suggest the American intrusion alarm market grew 3 to 5 percent over the last decade and is expected to grow at about 5 percent from US$1.4 billion in 2015 to $1.8 billion by 2019, according to IHS. The global outlook is even more promising. According to Research and Markets, the global intrusion detection market is expected to grow from $2.7 billion in 2014 to $5 billion by 2019, at an estimated CAGR of 13.2 percent. Another report from Marketsandmarkets suggests the home security solutions market alone could grow from $31.4 billion in 2015 to $47.5 billion by 2020, at an estimated CAGR of 8.7 percent.

individual units that could set off warning signals if a breach is detected. With the current market interest in making homes smarter, intrusion detection systems are becoming more and more sophisticated and intelligent. Alarms now are part of the larger framework of smarter homes, and the market is increasingly getting filled with sensors of various kinds and options to integrate them. The intrusion detection market is witnessing a rapid shift in its focus, from products that offer security, to those that can offer services that do more to improve overall life-quality. Moreover, markets are increasingly seeing the emergence of do-it-yourself (DIY) products that eliminate the need for professional installers. This situation is forcing the traditional security manufacturers to come up with adaptation strategies and methods to leverage their expertise to strengthen market presence.
From AlArms to smArt Homes Home automation systems that take advantage of a whole range of technologies, some of which are included under the umbrella term Internet of Things (IoT), is expected to be one of the key markets in the coming years. A visit to any of the technology trade shows these days will give a glimpse of the products that are coming up in this segment. Interestingly, most of what is seen now is considered to be just the tip of the iceberg, as the possibilities of connected devices are expected to be massive. Opportunities in the smart home segment have encouraged several new companies to enter the market, but most importantly, it is setting the stage for some

P AL R Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) has become the most important tool for identifying vehicles and can be applied to various use scenarios, for example road monitoring, parking, and even crime prevention. However, there are still some challenges remaining, and to optimize its performance the installer needs to have a proper understanding of how the system works and how it’s set up.

utomatic license plate recognition (ALPR) has experienced significant growth over the last few years. According to many installers we’ve spoken to, demands for ALPR surged last year compared to 2014, and growth is expected to continue over the next five years. ALRP’s popularity has to do with its wide range of applications, from road monitoring to electronic collection to crime prevention. For example, ALPR is used to report suspicious or blacklisted vehicles. It detects vehicles that are speeding on highways and informs relevant authorities. At residential areas, it can determine whether an incoming vehicle belongs to the community and respond accordingly. More and more, ALPR is used in parking lots, which increasingly focus on intelligent and automated management. As such, ALPR can come in handy. It determines the entry and exit time of a vehicle and charges a fee accordingly. It also recognizes whether a vehicle is a monthly customer. In lots that are frequented by many visitors, ALPR can calculate the number of empty space left and inform drivers. Use scenarios have become wide and varied.

Optimizing ALpR peRfORmAnce
Most ALPR today comes in the form of a single, integrated unit that includes a camera, a computer, and an infrared illuminator. The camera is equipped with a CMOS lens and has wide dynamic range capability. The computer has maximum processing speed of 6.4 GHz. Even on roads or in parking lots where vehicle identification can be difficult, ALPR attempts to achieve an accuracy rate of 99.58 percent. The main equipment box of the ALPR unit must include a fiber receiver, a surge protector, and power equipment. They should all be arranged properly inside the box. The casing of the box must be protected against over-current and over-voltage and must be able to withstand rain, dust, high temperatures, and vandalism. The IR rating of the case should be IP65. Right now, recognition can be done by the edge device on the front end or by the server on the backend. At the front end, recognition of the license plate can be done in approximately 250 microseconds. This data can either be transmitted to the backend, or stored in the front end for future retrieval.
ALPR performance optimization can be done either via software or via hardware. In terms of software, optical character recognition (OCR) is used in today’s ALPR. It looks at the image of the plate, singles out the characters, and compares each character with a list of characters stored in the database. Or, in feature extraction, the software breaks each character into individual components and performs recognition based on a set of rules, for example two converging lines forming an angle with a third horizontal line in the middle constitute the letter “A.” Some challenges in ALPR today include erroneous recognition of letters, for example “P” and “R,” that look similar. As such, the OCR software must be made strong and powerful enough to distinguish the differences. Certain license plates use specific colors or characters with different fonts and sizes; those nuances must be distinguished as well. For more sophisticated systems, they can recognize license plates from different countries or states. For example, two vehicles from different states with different license plate designs may share the same license plate number. The system must be able to tell them apart. License plates should be effectively recognized even if they are dirtied, soiled, or damaged. In terms of hardware, it helps address other issues that affect the performance of ALPR. For example, illumination can be a problem at parking lots, and cameras

Bandwidth OptimizatiOn:
a Cost-EffiCiEnt Way to MaxiMizE survEillanCE systEM PErforManCE
MARCH 2016 â—? www.asmag.com
Bandwidth management is a key factor in how well a digital surveillance system performs to expectations; it is also one of the most challenging factors to manage in a surveillance system, as it is generally difficult and expensive to scale. this problem is only going to get more crucial due to the continued growth of ip camera deployment, resulting in a greater need for better bandwidth management. BY the a&s Editorial Team

n order to balance the growing demand for crisper image quality in video surveillance and the additional network bandwidth that will be consumed, a number of solutions have been developed to help customers get the best image quality possible. These solutions also conserve network bandwidth by employing features such as cropping, on-camera storage, intelligent video analysis, and adaptive bitrate streaming. The following article provides several tips on how to optimize bandwidth for an IP video surveillance system.
Optimizing Existing Bandwidth The main challenge of network bandwidth management is the difficulty of distinguishing between constantly changing images and static images. Therefore, it is not possible for the system to automatically adjust bandwidth without relying on certain technologies. Using sophisticated techniques, congestion of network traffic can be avoided, bandwidth can be adjusted flexibly and automatically, and information can be prioritized when an alarm is triggered.
One way to try and address network congestion issues is to directly confront the lack of bandwidth available. For example, operators have attempted to increase the available bandwidth with extra leased lines. Unfortunately, this has an associated recurring cost. Therefore, optimization of existing bandwidth is seen as the path of choice for most since it can deliver efficient use of current infrastructures and provide capacity expansion while keeping the same pre-optimization bandwidth costs; however, it requires the purchase of multiple appliances. In order to get the maximum return from a digital investment, optimizing the way video streams from different cameras to their destinations in surveillance networks is important. To do this, QoS (Quality of Service), used in all network equipment, along with the bandwidth management router and simple network management processor (SNMP) switch are musts. An SNMP switch can ensure enough bandwidth for a certain number of channels. With the appropriate QoS setting, the transmission bitrate can be confined within a certain bitrate per second.
Reducing Bandwidth consumption By settings As mentioned above, it is not always an affordable option to add more bandwidth or new equipment to a surveillance system. This results in some trade-off between image quality and network bandwidth. Instead, the right configuration settings could help reduce network bandwidth consumption. According to a white paper by Avigilon, temporal compression technologies rely on scene changes as part of its compression methodology. It can also introduce variability in the size of the compressed data stream that is generated, which depends on the compression being used — if it is configured to use a constant bitrate (CBR) or a variable bitrate (VBR), in a camera. The white paper points out when configuring a system for a constant
bitrate, the amount of compression applied increases as more activities occur. As a result, compression artifacts could be added to the image and degrade the image quality. On the other hand, to maintain consistent image quality when variable bitrate compression is used, the size of the compressed stream is allowed to vary. Variability in the size of the compressed stream presents important challenges in system design and network bandwidth consumption. Along with the CBR/VBR setting, it is also important to set up GOP (group of pictures), which refers to the type of setting in camera firmware. This setting makes it possible to further reduce the bandwidth and storage consumption of video streams up to 10 times while the concept of constant bitrate stands on the principle that the bitrate level will be fixed regardless of other settings. It is important to note that GOP should not be adjusted for scenes with a lot of motion or under poor lighting conditions because it may influence the video quality. Therefore, increasing the GOP value and extending the gap between frames could cause a loss of a certain number of frames under CBR. However, GOP can be used in combination with CBR if the priority is image quality. A new version of VBR encoding technology has been developed by vendors, giving users the advantages of both CBR and VBR encoding while minimizing the disadvantages. According to VIVOTEK, this new encoding technology functions like VBR with limitations — administrators set a maximum value on allowable bitrates, and the bitrate is able to change in this range according to monitoring scenes. This makes it easier to manage network resources because the bitrate of the encoded video is guaranteed not to exceed the preset limit, and thus the network bandwidth required

Systems Integration in Asia:
Challenges and Opportunities
for 2016
MARCH 2016 â—? www.asmag.com
Several large Asian economies are developing at a quick pace, and this is expected to boost the security systems integration business in the region. In this article, we talk to some major Asian SIs to understand how they see the market and its possibilities. BY Prasanth Aby Thomas

T
he Asia Pacific security industry is expected to see rapid expansion in the coming years, as some of the fast-growing economies in the region develop their infrastructure and seek solutions to issues such as crime and terrorism. A recent report from Transparency Market Research estimates this growth to be at 17 percent CAGR between 2013 and 2019. For security systems integrators (SI) in the region, this means more business opportunities. As nations develop, their concerns of security would increase, paving way for more proactive measures to protect their citizens and resources. Boosting sentiments further are initiatives like the ASEAN Economic Community, an agreement between 10 Southeast Asian countries to form a single economic bloc, something along the lines of the European Union. In this context, we asked some of the major SI in the region to share their perspectives on what to expect in the coming days. Here we present a summary of their answers.
Mervin Ang, CEO, i3 Technologies Lenon Choo, GM, Cyberguard Systems Sommai Damnoenkiat, MD, Vision and Security System William Goh, Executive Director, ADP Tech Danny Ng, VP of Sales, Yatai Security & Communications Mary Ann Ortiz, Marketing Officer, Alcon Philippines Technologies and Solutions Verghese Thirumala, MD, Maxitulin
How do you see demand for security systems integration in Asia in 2016?
T
here was a consensus among the SIs we interviewed that 2016 will see strong growth, but their reasons varied. William Goh, Executive Director of ADP Tech, said as concerns of terrorism continue to keep the region on its toes, security solutions will have a key role to play. “In view of the terrorist threats, public area security, infrastructure security, and cyber securities should be the main drivers which demand for higher level of integration, usability, business continuity, and off-site command and control,” Goh said. Sommai Damnoenkiat, MD of the Thailand-based Vision and Security System, a partner of Bosch Security Systems, echoed similar thoughts, citing his home-market conditions in particular. Thailand’s capital Bangkok was victim to a terror attack in 2015, and this increased demands for better national security measures. Others have pointed to technological developments and overall economic improvement as potential drivers for growth. According to Verghese Thirumala, MD of Maxitulin, progress in IT infrastructure and evolution of new concepts like big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) will enhance security systems integration. In terms of verticals, sectors like retail and transportation could see more demand, as steps to curb issues like theft in the former and improve passenger flow in the latter become more important. Speaking along similar lines, Mervin Ang, CEO of the Philippines-based i3 Technologies, one of Axis Communications’ partners, said growth of commercial buildings, especially in sectors like business process outsourcing (BPOs) are expected boost demand for security in his home market.

Recent shooting incidents have brought security in colleges and universities to the spotlight, boosting debates on the ideal solutions in higher education institutions. Certain unique issues pose considerable challenges in this vertical. But with technological advancements and customized solutions, the industry has a lot in store to make campuses safer.
en people were killed and several injured when a gunman opened fire at a community college in the US state of Oregon recently. The incident was the 45th school shooting incident in the country last year, and there was little surprise when it brought college and university security into the focus. The education sector has always been a strong market for the security industry, but unlike K-12 schools, university campuses have lagged behind in being up-to-date. The recent active shooter incidents could well be a reason to change this. “The biggest driver for improved security (and use of security technologies) at schools and colleges has been the unfortunate shooting incidents such as those at Columbine, Sandy Hook, Blacksburg, and more recently in Roseburg, Oregon,” said Charles Volschenk, MD at Geutebruck USA. “Such incidents have highlighted the difficulties in securing educational institutions against attack whilst maintaining general freedoms of the students and teachers, and have led to a big increase in safety and security planning and spending in the vertical.” But protecting colleges and universities comes with a host of challenges that are unique to itself. Most of these are due to the operational nature of the institutions, and

SMAhome
How many years has Deutsche Telekom been involved in smart home? Deutsche Telekom founded an alliance of companies from different markets in 2011, under the name of QIVICON. The companies collaborate on a cross-vendor, wireless-based home automation solution that has been available in the German market since fall 2013. Deutsche Telekom also now offers its Connected Home platform as a white-label solution, which has an interoperable, expandable, and scalable architecture that enables companies from multiple industries to develop connected home products and services and integrate them into a larger ecosystem.
How is the QIVICON platform leveraged for different markets?
Not only do these (OEM/ODM) companies represent only one product, they represent hundreds of customers. Thomas Knops, Head of Connected Home Marketing and Sales, Deutsche Telekom
Our strategy is to use QIVICON internationally where it makes sense. In some international markets, we will not use the QIVICON brand right from the beginning. QIVICON is the name of the platform, but if there is only one company starting to offer something based on the platform, it is not necessary to use QIVICON to communicate with the customer. However, as more companies join the platform, we will be more than happy to start using the QIVICON brand.
How can companies benefit from using the QIVICON platform or the Connected Home platform? Both QIVICON in Germany and our internationally available Connected Home

Partnerships Add Value for Smart Home Users

Europe’s leading telco, Deutsche Telekom, has been in the smart home business for more than five years.

platform are open and technologically expandable systems that enable companies to develop new solutions or services, extend existing products and adapt to new market potential and target groups. The partnership opportunities we offer with QIVICON and the Connected Home platform as part of our smart home business allow companies of all sizes, including major telcos and startups, to cooperate with other strong companies. Already, we have more than 35 partners on board that are each benefiting from cooperation on product development or on new and additional sales channels, to name just two of the many possibilities. Other benefits include a constant opportunity to open up additional sales potential in addition to existing business. For example, access new target groups, extend existing customer relationships with up- and cross-selling opportunities or use of applications and related services to create new bundles.
Do you suggest Asian manufacturers join QIVICON? There is not one answer, and the company needs to decide if they want to utilize the platform. If the company already has a footprint in Germany or Europe, then it makes sense for them to launch products on their own because they already have some experience. They have everything in place, like the sales channels and the logistics. But if it’s a new company, not necessarily one that has been seen in Europe, they might need support in different areas. In my opinion, it makes absolute sense to utilize a platform because first of all the platform helps you collaborate with other brands. Utility companies like Vattenfall in Germany, Entega, and others already use the QIVICON platform to sell certain product bundles. Some Asian

Data will become the essential element of the connected service offering.
manufacturers might want to utilize the sales channel of different companies, for instance, utility companies. They can also collaborate with Deutsche Telekom or others who already have a good history in the market and all the sales channels ready. So it makes perfect sense to contribute and participate in the QIVICON platform in Germany or talk to us and use the white-label platform. The manufacturer can also utilize the platform to hook the product to an existing application, for instance to include their product in a mobile app, and the manufacturer will be included in this application. It works because it is one platform, and customers don’t care in the end how it works. In terms of scaling the business, we are now starting to internationalize, so if you’re a part of this, you can expand to other countries. Joining QIVICON provides additional business opportunities. For example, D-Link is part of QIVICON. Its products are incorporated in the application of Deutsche Telekom, and they will be sold via Deutsche Telekom. That is the QIVICON side of it, but D-Link is also doing their own business.
What are the biggest challenges Deutsche Telekom faces? One of the greatest challenges facing any firm seeking to enter the connected
