Work begins immediately and ST Electronics will deliver the systems for RWS on Sentosa over the next 24 months. It will provide project management, system integration, site management and test and commission the three systems—Integrated Security System, IT Infrastructure System and Carpark Guidance & Payment System.

The Integrated Security System will provide integrated surveillance and video monitoring of RWS’ facilities and attractions, including its casino and Universal Studios Singapore. The centrally managed system will ensure that daily security operations progress seamlessly and efficiently.

The IT Infrastructure System will comprise the network infrastructure system, the structured cabling system and the building of data centres to support the data, video and audio transmission requirements of RWS.

The Carpark Guidance and Payment System will direct vehicles to vacant lots based on a zonal approach. This system is coupled with an electronic payment system to handle carpark fee collections. This system is currently implemented in a few buildings in Singapore—the Esplanade, Plaza Singapura, Tampines Mall, CapitaMall Trust, IMM and Bugis Junction.

Michael Chin, Executive Vice President of RWS says, “The security and efficiency that will result from this system provided by ST Electronics will be translated to enhancing the guest experience when Resorts World at Sentosa opens to 15 million visitors in its first year of operations.”

ST Electronics has significant expertise in intelligent building management and security solutions. Some of its projects include the Dubai Festival City; Thai Airways Security Centre; Beijing’s Capital Museum, Singapore Management University and Capital Tower.

“We are delighted to win this series of contracts that brings together our proven technologies, related services and expertise to benefit RWS, a world-class Singapore Integrated Resort. These comprehensive systems will provide a safe and secure environment that will make RWS a great place for entertainment, edutainment and leisure,” says Seah Moon Ming, President of ST Electronics.

“With this deal and various other contracts secured in the fourth quarter of this year, despite an unprecedented very challenging second half 2008, our order book as at end 2008 will exceed $10b which is an all time high,” says Tan Pheng Hock, President and CEO of ST Engineering.
