EDITOR’S NOTE Southeast Asian Countries Team Up for Anti-Terrorism ASEAN countries have recently started discussions and collaborations in different subject matters. One of the topics that ASEAN countries feel the alliance should team up on is counter-terrorism to pave the way for information sharing and cooperation for further actions such as border control and terrorist investigation. Last month, the joint statement released during the ASEAN Defense Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM) retreat in Singapore pointed out that the rise of terrorism is the most serious security threat to this region. The rise in complexity and deadliness of recent terrorist tactics and weapons have become major concerns. The defense ministers then agreed to strengthen counter-terrorism cooperation to prevent attacks and coordinate information to ensure the quick response of these nations to these attacks. The DIPLOMAT reported that early this January, India have looked for the cooperation of other Southeast Asian countries to address and fight Jihadist terrorism domestically. Southeast Asian nations are not excluded from terrorist attacks. The recent ASEAN meeting and new partnership showed that the group of nations will kick off many political and security discussions. We are eager to see how this will facilitate the development of security and safety industry in this region.

NEC Facial Recognition System Elevates Customer Experience at OCBC Bank OCBC Bank has successfully used NEC’s facial recognition system to streamline services to its customers in Singapore. BY NEC
N
EC Asia Pacific and NEC announced the successful testing and roll-out of a facial recognition system at OCBC Bank’s Holland Village branch to identify premier banking customers. OCBC Bank is one of the first in Singapore’s banking sector to adopt such a system as part of its digital efforts to improve service excellence. Facial recognition is a growing form of biometrics used to identify and authenticate persons in a wide range of industries. With the widespread usage and acceptance in immigration systems and secured identity card systems, biometrics is now expanding into commercial applications. Implemented since December 4, 2017, the system instantly identifies OCBC premier banking customers in real time as they approach the lounge in the branch without needing to stop to look at the camera. This is a very unobtrusive approach for the bank to identify them. Based on the VIP identification, the system allows the premier service manager to promptly identify and greet customers by their preferred name, offer
them their preferred drinks and magazines, and understand their visit records to promptly deliver services, giving the client a more personalized and pleasant customer journey. The bank can record the purpose of a customer’s visit, gather feedback to help improve services and understand customer behavior patterns, such as the frequency of their visits. The system utilizes NeoFace, NEC’s AI engine for face recognition. The NeoFace engine can be used for a variety of applications and scenarios such as access control and attendance tracking for staff and visitors in different areas, seamless online transaction experience using facial recognition for payment authentication, and monitoring for individuals on watch lists or tracking people who loiter on the premises. “OCBC is committed to our service quality and implementing facial recognition to elevate the customer experience is one of the first steps that we are doing in the digital economy. Since introducing it, we received positive feedback from customers who were impressed by the person-
alized hospitality enabled by fast and accurate identification. Going forward, we will evaluate and consider the extension of the capability beyond customer service,” said Pranav Seth, SVP and Head of E-business, Business Transformation and Fintech and Innovation Group at OCBC Bank. “We are pleased to work with OCBC Bank to provide this cutting-edge facial recognition solution to help improve the overall delivery of services to their valued clientele. We hope that through this co-creation we have helped OCBC Bank stay competitive in this fast-paced industry where customer experience is key. Moving ahead, we look forward to exploring more innovative and meaningful ideas to help customers digitally transform their businesses through artificial intelligence that includes biometrics and facial recognition,” said Lim Kok Quee,

ntelligence is supercharging video intelligence. The Asia Pacific region has evolved to become a major growth driver in the video technology market. According to IHS Markit, Asia accounted for the greater part of the global professional security market in 2016, with China, Japan and India making up three of the top five countries in terms of market share. Milestone Systems is a global industry leader in open platform IP video management software. The company recognized the opportunities in the region early on, and has already established a strong foothold in Asia. “I think that 2017 was extremely positive. We saw growth in all markets across APAC. We see continued high potential in India, Indochina and Australia,” said Benjamin Low, VP for Asia Pacific (APAC) at Milestone Systems. “Indochina, in particular, has grown exponentially in the last 20 years. Technology has taken us forward enormously over the past years and looking ahead, the next five to 10 years will be crucial in redefining the future of technology.” “The complexity and requirements of the current security landscape and customer expectations are accelerating fast. Milestone is working on lowering the hurdles for adopting its solutions and offering its partners with more solutions in different verticals,” added Low. Over the past year, there was an emerging awareness in the
more value beyond security together with our partners,” said Low. Bjørn Skou Eilertsen, Chief Technology Officer of Milestone Systems, concurred that the video surveillance industry is undergoing a huge transformation. “Devices and sensors are being connected and aggregated. As a community, we will have enormous data sets to work with as a result. All the devices will have embedded information and intelligence, and the data sets will represent everything around us. The industry is headed towards the use of aggregated video and sensor information for automation — leveraging the data and making autonomous systems that reduce human intervention. Further down the road, we will see the autonomous systems provide a new level of augmented intelligence, amplifying the decision making beyond human capabilities,” said Eilertsen. The difficulty now lies not in obtaining the data, but rather in using data to drive business outcomes. “The acceptance of video technology as part of our lives is on the rise. We see a positive inclination to IP surveillance systems spurred by technology innovation, real-time access (getting immediate intelligence from data), video analytics for business productivity, and government initiatives like the Smart Nation in Singapore,” Eilertsen added. In this intelligent world, more and more devices will be Benjamin Low, VP, APAC, Milestone Systems

channel about the possibilities of delivering value-added solutions beyond security. “From an APAC perspective, the majority of our partners are still doing traditional security projects, but more and more do not want to compete in a saturated area; they want to escape the ‘race to the bottom’ that many others in the industry are seeing. For example, Maruti Suzuki in India is using Milestone software and wants to incorporate facial recognition and CRM integration within the platform,” said Low. “Overall, I feel a growing maturity in the market in terms of what the channel is expecting. We see that the partners are looking at vertical growth and partnering with Milestone allows them to focus on a specific area. The solution partners also mature in the way they go to market as they are looking for both integration and reach to the customer base.” Low added.
connected, generating even larger amounts of data, and this is where machine intelligence come into the picture. It is nearly impossible for a human being to keep track of all this data on various video monitoring screens but by combining machine intelligence with human judgment, it becomes easier to identify specific incidents, thus saving time and resources as well. According to Eilertsen, these advances in intelligent solutions are made possible by the enhancement in hardware features, such as GPUs delivering exponentially more computing capacity and the adoption of machine learning as the preferred way to provide intelligent applications. “In 2018 to 2019, the aim is to enable the community to deliver intelligent solutions. Milestone will expand the device driver frameworks to better include IoT devices and sensors to enable partners to aggregate more video and sensor data,” Eilertsen added. To make use of the aggregated video, Milestone will bring to market a Video Processing Service that will leverage the new GPU and machine learning compute capabilities and enable all community partners to build dedicated AI applications directly on the Milestone platform. These investments in the community will radically simplify the development and rollout of machine learning enabled applications to deliver intelligent solutions. These intelligent The industry is in the midst of change and Milestone is clearly spearheading this. By moving away from a business model of simply pushing out new product features and focusing on strengthening the platform, Milestone has created a growing community of partners that has become the driving force for continuous growth and innovation for the company. This will no doubt push Milestone further in the forefront of a more intelligent future in the industry.

into the massive business potential in the market. If security can be re-envisioned from being a cost center to a business enabler, this will transform it into a return of investment (ROI) generator and make the entire process more intelligent. Hence, Milestone’s focus moving forward will be to empower the whole partner channel to do easier and more intelligent business. To cross this hurdle, Milestone intends to invest even more in its platform to create better and scalable technology for all its partners and stakeholders. “We will continue to make our technology easier to use through better training, improved interaction with partners as well as initiatives like the Milestone Marketplace and the System Builder. These are the two initiatives I find most exciting in the coming year,” Low concluded.

hroughout history, manufacturers have seen several revolutions taking place, each upending the way manufacturing had been done. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th century saw a replacement of human labor with machines. The second revolution came during the early 20th century when the concept of production line was introduced. Then, the rise of computers, networks and robotics further transformed manufacturing. Now, IIoT, also known as Industry 4.0, has sparked another industrial revolution, whereby operators rely on connected devices and sensors to boost productivity and efficiency. “Sensors can be used to generate data related to machine health, process health, cleaning in place (CIP), security and production planning and asset tracking. Consequently, it can help in moving towards a proactive approach in the operations and improving productivity. From a quality perspective, additional sensors are being deployed to enable better process quality control," said Keshab Panda, CEO and Managing Director of L&T Technology Services. “Sensors measure numerous applications in a factory, but their use is dependent on what the business considers to be the most critical applications, for example, environmental (temperature, humidity, pressure). Others are going to look at safety/security, so you may see proximity or optical sensors that will monitor an area. There are also sensors that measure production/machine health such as acceleration and vibration,” said Eric Ehlers, Vertical Marketing Manager at Cisco. “Ultimately, this data provides visibility — driving better operational efficiency, improving automation processes, safety/security and monitoring and optimizing asset utilization. This information can also be used to drive better supply chain utilization and prototyping of new products.”

and where, as the name implies, lone workers are on their own, needing to be largely self-sufficient — with wearables they don’t have to be.
Concerns About Safety
Among the most common concerns employers have for its lone workers are injury and violence. There are of course laws and regulations to
Will Murray, Marketing Director, Guardian24
help minimize the possibility of such events, but oftentimes they are vague and difficult to implement. One example is the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1970 under OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in the U.S. The Act includes a “working alone” section, but the language is vague and does not provide any clear guidelines for employers. As such, employers and companies that provide lone worker solutions must be proactive in implementing their own guidelines to protect workers. Among the biggest concern employers have when it comes to safety is violence and aggression toward these workers. “Lone workers must enter various environments where the risk of encountering aggressive members of the public is significantly increased,” said Richie McBride, MD of Edesix. “One survey, conducted by the Royal College of Nursing, found that nearly 40 percent of respondents had been harassed or assaulted while at work in the last year. Without support from colleagues or sufficient emergency

processes, lone workers can quickly find themselves in the middle of a potentially dangerous situation.” Injury is another concern for lone workers. Without help around or nearby, injury of a lone worker on the job could lead to death. Even with lone worker solutions in place, there is no guarantee of safety especially if the solution is not being properly monitored. This was the case in 2013 when a water tank worker drowned in the U.K. Even after activating his lone worker alarm after his fall,
the company did not respond until four hours later, which by then was too late. Events such as this only highlight the importance of having proper procedures in place and the need for conducting thorough risk assessment.

Improved Security the Key to Smart Lock Growth The high-tech nature of today’s world means nothing, including the locks on our doors, can be too smart. However, intelligence comes with risks, and companies have worked hard to address end-user concerns. By improving safety and security, user confidence in smart locks is helping to drive market growth. BY Eifeh Strom, Freelancer

T
he evolution of smart technology over the past few years has transcended every industry. A few years ago smart locks were a new idea, an idea that seemed more about hype than true functionality. At the time many of the players consisted of startups like August Smart Lock and
32
www.asmag.com
Danalock. Since then August has been acquired by ASSA ABLOY, while Salto Systems purchased a significant equity share in Danalock. Interest and investments by such key players in the access control community represent the growing popularity and potential of smart lock systems. The convenience of not
needing to worry about a physical key required by traditional locks is one of the many benefits of smart locks. Businesses such as Amazon are taking advantage of this fact. The recently launched Amazon Key system is taking the convenience of smart locks to a new level, allowing for in-home deliveries of goods by
security and safety, as well as enhanced features compared to traditional lock systems.
Not Without Concerns

While this concept does not come without challenges and concerns, it is taking full advantage of the potential smart locks have to offer. In fact, a recent report by Research and Markets
shows that the smart lock market is rapidly growing. The market is expected to reach US$2.7 billion by 2023 from $1.3 billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 13.1 percent during the projected period. Market growth is attributed to the rising adoption of smartphones and other connected devices. Additional growth drivers include growing concerns regarding
When smart locks first came out security was a main concern; however, smart lock technology has advanced and so has its security protocols. Users, though, are still weary of security vulnerabilities. Locks, by nature, are meant to keep out unwanted intruders, so if a smart lock were to be hacked, the whole purpose of the lock is moot. Residential consumers in particular have concerns with the ability to use alternative ways to open smart locks, for example, if they do not have their smartphones available, according to Todd Graves, SVP of Engineering and Technology at Allegion. Omer Sagi, Business Development Director at ASSA ABLOY EMEA, noted that the biggest concern users have relate to the security and reliability of a smart door lock. “We often field questions such as: What happens if I forget to replace the batteries? Or how can you be sure both the mechanical side and the electronics in your lock are secure?” he said. “ASSA ABLOY’s smart door lock range is built around our most secure mechanical cylinders — many of which are already deployed in homes and sensitive commercial premises all over the world. Furthermore, we test all our ‘smart’ products internally,
and also hire external experts to perform rigorous independent checks. All our smart devices meet or exceed local and global security standards — and we’re always investing to make them even better,” Sagi said. While security is a key concern, cost, particularly among commercial users, is also a hurdle. “Commercial end users are sometimes initially concerned about the higher acquisition cost of the lock itself compared to a simple mechanical lock,” Graves said. “But once they see the life cycle cost benefits of smart locks, and the operating efficiencies they provide, these concerns usually go away.”
Smart Lock Benefits
Concerns aside, smart locks offer a new type of convenience to both residential and non-residential users. Smart locks allow users to control their access from anywhere in the world. In a residential setting this means the ability to share access with family members, visitors or even service providers. “You can let your kids in if they come home early, or issue a temporary or time-limited key to a petsitter or a carer, just to mention a couple of useful everyday scenarios. Smart door locks are also enabling an exciting range of new domestic services. For example, in-home parcel delivery even while you’re out, or the ability to manage your

here have already been several shootings at US universities in 2018. Events such as these have become an unfortunate reality on post-secondary campuses around the world. This has only highlighted the need for enhanced security measures. The global school and campus security market is forecast to reach nearly US$2.5 billion by the end of 2023, at a CAGR of 19.7 percent during the forecast period 2017 to 2023, according to a report by Market Research Future. North America continues have the largest market share; however, APAC is expected to grow at a fast pace. While video surveillance and access control are obvious components of any
security system, an increase in adoption of both by university campuses globally has been observed. Alone these systems can only do so much; however, in tandem with the latest technologies and integration capabilities, campus security operators are on their way to making campuses safer than ever.
Increased Awareness Driving Security Needs
The primary mission of higher education institutions is to deliver quality education to students; yet, they face the challenge of balancing between a highly secure facility and one that supports open interaction. “Educational institutions face an increasing and constantly evolving risk environment. Recent high-profile incidents emphasize these risks and magnify the vulnerabilities that educational facilities face. This has led to more public demand for improved security solutions across campuses,” said Brandon Reich, Business Leader for Video Surveillance at Pivot3. Jumbi Edulbehram, Regional President of the Americas at Oncam, explained, “Over the last decade, educational facilities all over the world have evolved into what we call ‘soft targets’ for those who wish to do great harm, such as active shooters or vandals. As a result, more robust and comprehensive security

hen it comes to adopting new trends and technologies, universities are often up to the challenge; however, budgetary restrictions can get in the way. Nowadays, though, students expect a certain level of tech savvy and convenience from their educational institution. With this in mind, investing in such technologies is all the more worthwhile if it means higher student enrollment. A recent survey conducted by Wakefield Research for Ellucian, a technology solutions and services provider, found that 87-percent of students considered the tech savvy of colleges when picking an institution. This only further highlights the importance of staying up-to-date on current technology trends. From a security standpoint, these trends can often be integrated into security applications. By listening to and adopting popular technology trends, universities can not only keep students happy, but make campuses safer and smarter.
Tech Trends Driving Security
There is no doubt about it, this generation of students expect digital solutions. When it comes to security, this translates into things like smart cards and mobile apps. Mechanical, analog systems are seen as old and even inconvenient: Why use a physical key when one smart card can open your dorm room, be used to buy food and check out books at the library? “The modernization of systems across campuses are resulting in the repurposing of technologies. For example, smart cards, which once might only have been used as an access control solution, can now be used to attain campus services such as the library or dining commons,” said James Marcella, Director of Industry Associations at Axis Communications. Julie Brown, Institutional Market Leader for North American Building Solutions at Johnson Controls, pointed to several trending technologies being adopted by university campuses. “In response to recent tragic active shooter incidents, gunshot detection solutions are being integrated with systems like video and access control to support emergency preparedness response in the event of an active shooter. Drones continue to be an increasing area of technology enabling the ability to provide security to remote areas, provide additional coverage and detect and disarm unauthorized drones.” All of these trends, however, point to the explosion of data generated by surveillance cameras and other security software on a daily basis, said Brandon Reich, Business Leader for Video Surveillance at Pivot3. “Not only are schools collecting massive amounts of information, but the data obtained is more important than ever before. Modern organizations can no longer tolerate video loss, system downtime or the inability to access live or recorded video. Data loss can lead to major liabilities, and therefore more significance is placed on server and storage infrastructure.”
IoT, Big Data and Cloud
The terms IoT, big data and cloud have spread like wildfire over the last few years, and for good reason. “The IoT and big data trends have benefited campus security systems by increasing interconnectivity and interoperability like never before,” said Steve Birkmeier, VP of Sales and Business Development at Arteco. “The more detail and pieces of information available about a certain event, the quicker the resolution, and the ability for devices to connect via the cloud makes the sharing of this relevant data swift and seamless.” Terry Schulenburg, Business Development Manager for Education at Genetec, noted, “IoT will continue to grow over the next 20 years. There are so many applications for college campuses that can provide extra security, and extra freedom.” Schulenburg pointed out how currently many campuses are tracking important equipment and as well as inventory management using IoT technologies. One example is how a specific university hospital delivery research wing is providing matching wristbands to new mothers and their babies. If the bands are separated by too far of a distance, alarms go off, cameras activate and doors quickly lock down, he explained. Despite how widespread IoT is now, James Somerville-Smith, EMEA Programs
Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Surveillance Storage
What is a hyperconverged infrastructure and how can it help with a campus’ surveillance storage? Brandon Reich, Business Leader for Video Surveillance at Pivot3 explains. ” The increase in data generation and the growing importance of video and integrated security solutions has resulted in a technology shift from closed, proprietary systems to more a mission-critical application that is often hosted inside of a data center and managed by an IT department,” Reich explained. “This evolution is important to note because IT departments will often turn to traditional technologies for video and data storage infrastructure.” However, according to Reich, traditional infrastructure, such as standard servers or SAN storage, is not well suited for video surveillance environments and can lead to underperformance. Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is a new entry into the video surveillance storage market. In fact, the HCI market was valued at US$796.1 million in 2015, according to a report by MarketsandMarkets. It is forecast to reach $12.6 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 43.6 percent during the forecast period 2016 and 2022. The report states: “The ability of hyperconverged infrastructure systems is to unify the server, storage, networking and virtualization resources on a single commodity server rather than deploying over separate
hardware components. This, in turn, reduces the overall or total cost of ownership (TCO) of systems and offers highly scalable solutions, which are some of the key driving factors for the growth of this market.” According to Reich, “HCI solutions can be optimized to meet the unique needs of video surveillance, offering far more functionality to schools than traditional IT infrastructure. As more educational facilities look to adopt advanced technologies, such as panoramic cameras, more traditional IT storage solutions will be challenged by the write-intensive nature of surveillance.” “It eliminates complexity and cost, and brings enterprise-class technology and benefits at a more affordable price point than traditional server-based systems,” he added.

O
n a vast university campus, a public address or announcement (PA) system is used to make campuswide announcements. We don’t often think of the safety or security implications of such a system, but integrated with alarm, video surveillance, access control, etc., a PA system has the potential to be much more; it could give campus security operators the ability to turn it into an integral part of a holistic safety and security solution. PA systems are included as part of the public safety and security market, which Research and Markets expects will grow from US$277 billion in 2017 to $532.4 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 14 percent during the forecast period. Meanwhile, the average price of PA systems has been on a gradual decline in the last three years, according to research by IBISWorld. This a result of heavy market competition and the falling cost of component parts. Even with prices on a slow and steady decline, IBISWorld notes PA systems still only present a moderate total cost of ownership to end users. Regardless of cost, budgets across verticals are getting tighter, and end users want to maximize their return on investment (ROI). This generally requires systems to go beyond just their intended use. By integrating existing and new PA systems with security and safety systems campus security operators may be able to find the ROI they’re looking for.
PA Systems Going IP
In today’s security world, almost every system, if not all, can be connected to a network. A PA system is no different. “The PA over IP solutions have been improved,” said Bob Mesnik, President of Kintronics. “The latest IP amplifiers provide more power and the intercoms include full duplex sound. The software now supports IP cameras, and voice-over-IP (VoIP) phone interfaces as well as special automation that provides if-then responses to certain inputs.” Despite the increased benefits of a

PA-over-IP system, cost could be an inhibitor — the cost of an IP system can be higher than some standard central analog systems, Mesnik pointed out. However, the ease of installation could help to balance out any cost concerns. “The IP paging solution is easier to install since the wiring is easier. The amplifiers and intercom units all connect to the network. The lower power models use power over Ethernet (PoE), so are very easy to install. In many cases, the ease of installation and the ability to provide many zones provide benefits that justify the increased cost,” he explained.
Integration With Video Surveillance
In general IP paging and intercom systems are used to direct people in emergencies, control doors and control other situations such as crowd control, according to Mesink. However, integrating such systems with others leaves the door open to new uses and can push a technology to its full potential. For example, integrating a campus’ PA system with security systems such as video surveillance could give campus security operators more control over emergency communication. “Paging can be integrated with IP camera systems. There are paging and intercoms that can be attached directly to IP cameras. This can work if the cameras have audio in and out,” Mesnik explained. “Small amplifiers are used to power speakers that can be used with the cameras.” It is also important that the video management software (VMS) supports the audio. “Some VMS will provide an alert if they detect a button activation from the IP camera. The VMS then allows the security person to see what is happening and then talk to the person near the IP camera,” he explained. Alternatively, paging can operate by itself and assist an IP camera security system. “For example, the Digital Acoustic intercom system is independent of the VMS and

lobally, hospitality is a booming industry on the back of increased business and leisure travelers. And hoteliers have reasons to be optimistic, as the uptick in tourist arrivals is expected to continue. The World Tourism Organization under the United Nations forecast that international tourist arrivals would reach 1.8 billion by 2030 and grow at a steady rate of 3.3 percent every year between 2010 and 2030, translating into an average 43 million additional international tourists joining the tourism marketplace annually. However, while this growth is good news for hoteliers, the industry is seeing increased competition, given more and more new hotels are being built. Travelport Hotelzon, a hotel solutions provider, wrote in a 2017 blog post that Berlin was expected to add about 3,700 hotel rooms within the next two years, and London was set to open 8,000 new rooms by the end of 2017 alone. Budapest, meanwhile, has quickly become a hotspot with an additional 2,600 rooms to open across 2017 and 2018, the post said. In the midst of this trend, retaining old

customers and attracting new ones has become more important than ever for hotel operators who seek to sustain growth and ensure profits. To that end, operators are turning to IoT and big data for help. “IoT in hospitality has been steadily growing, where it’s becoming available outside of traditional luxury deployments,” said Bill Lally, President of Mode:Green. “Hotels have been using technology to accomplish a specific goal, such as sustainability, but are now incorporating technology as an addition to their branding to differentiate themselves.” “New, digital customer values are being driven by millennials. They want authenticity, personalization, co-creation, social and emotional connection, seamlessness, convenience, control, speed and precision. In this regard, data is king,” said Shovan Sengupta, VP of Hotel Segment at Schneider Electric. “Data around guest interests and patterns informs service design, drives potential partner relationships and becomes the primary asset of hotel chains.” In fact, IoT deployment in hotels is in keeping with the smart home trend, as

hen it comes to saving energy, air conditioners and lights first come to mind. But how can we apply and enjoy the functions of these products without paying expensive bills? U.S.-based fan and lighting company Big Ass Fan has a solution. Olas Verdes Resort in Costa Rica wanted a LEED Platinum certification. The LEED Platinum certification is designed for the hospitality industry and
buildings to lessen carbon footprints and make a positive impact on environment. Hotels can be certified only if they implement eco-friendly practices that improve energy and water efficiency. Olas Verdes Resort used Haiku fans by Big Ass Fan to achieve this certification. To take advantage of the strong winds and minimize the heat generated by the sun, the resort installed 70 Haiku fans to create an energyefficient space. Every suite features two fans, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. According to the resort operators, the fans made it possible to eliminate air conditioning in the living room entirely. Fans are also installed in the resort’s offices, entertainment venue and restaurant. Also, the fans come with built-in LED lights, minimizing the number of lights needed in each suite. The tourists gave positive reviews on the Haiku fans, as it created comfortable airflow in the room, kept mosquitoes away and stayed silent while in operation.
