| The 10th China Public Security Expo, held by the Ministry of Public Security, Department of Science & Technology and China Council for the Promotion of International Trade every other year, kicked off its opening in the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center, China, on November 1, 2005. This year¡¦s Expo lasted 4 days and ended on November 4, 2005. The China Public Security Expo has become the third largest security device expo in the world. The scale of this Expo has set a new record comparing to previous years ¡V the fair area amounted to 50,000 square meters, and the number of show booths exceeded 2,000; it has gathered leading enterprises of the security industry, with various companies competing to demonstrate their brand new high-tech security products. Our reporter easily noticed the MAG DigitTech booth, where a sign saying "the largest digital residential community in China" had attracted many visitors in the Expo Center. The MAG staff introduced their latest digital residential community solutions and related intelligent home-living products, all of which were developed by MAG DigitTech. The core product of MAG¡¦s digital residential community solution is intelligent video door phone terminal, which runs on an internet protocol environment or LAN. This system provides functions such as visual intercom, remote door unlocking, displaying pictures and daily information on home terminals, as well as conversing freely between two residential units, etc. When the home terminal is idle, it can either display attractive pictures on the screen or go to ¡§power save mode¡¨. While demonstrating the appliance-control function, MAG engineer explained that these lights can be controlled by either a remote controller, a video door phone terminal, a PC connected to Internet, or a PDA. As visitors passed through infrared sensors installed along the wireless security and alarm shelf in the MAG booth, the ¡§video door phone terminal¡¨ and the ¡§administrative center computer¡¨ started to sound off a warning alarm. There were other interesting demonstrations such as remotely monitoring the Taiwan office long distance from the show booth, while controlling the local appliances at the same time. Reporters also discovered that lights, projector, curtain and fan all could be controlled by notebook PCs via the Internet. The MAG staff told reporters that this was the latest home security and automation solution and products designed to offer a safer home environment and to upgrade the quality of life for more communities. "Many modern residential communities in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities have adopted our products as a way to satisfy better living requirements. The liberation military has also applied our products for security watch¡¨. On November 2, 2005, MAG held a large press conference in the Expo Center for the signing of a cooperation contract with Shirong Real Estate Company, Zhuhai, towards constructing the largest digital residential community of China, namely, the Riviera. The Riviera is the largest residential community in Zhuhai designed to hold 32,000 families with more than 100,000 residents. MAG digital security products can help the community setup intelligent security systems and a ¡§smart-home¡¨ environment. The MAG staff said that the prices of their digital security products range from US$400 to several thousand. The key customers are real estate developers and system integration companies. In the Expo Center, hundreds of visitors and oversea buyers spoke highly of MAG DigitTech and its products. An Italian company placed a US$ order during the Expo after 3 days of discussion. Reporters were told that the digital home security and automation products have a huge market in the world, and that more companies are going to establish long-term business relationship with MAG DigitTech. MAG DigitTech is a leading manufacturer of home security and automation products in China. The largest digital residential community in China, the Riviera, will set a milestone in the digital home market in the country.
