Bangkok, 26 May 2016 – NEC Corporation (Thailand) Ltd. today announced that it will be participating in the “Digital Thailand 2016” conference and exhibition held at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center from 26-28 May 2016, at Booth A13.

At the event, NEC will showcase its suite of innovative solutions for safer cities and cyber security. NEC provides a fusion of both physical surveillance and cyber security to keep cities safe and secure from increasing threats.

NEC’s powerful face recognition technology will be showcased at the event, including NeoFace® Watch, which helps law enforcement agencies to enhance poor quality latent face images and to increase matching accuracy. NeoFace® Watch integrates with existing surveillance systems by extracting faces in real time from those systems and matching them against a select watch list of individuals. When the system detects an individual of interest from the watch list, an alert is sent so that rapid actions can be taken to reduce the security threat.

NEC’s Traffic Monitoring Systems features a solution that uses video motion to monitor road traffic situation and detect abnormalities on roads or sidewalks in real-time through images captured by security cameras. Through data obtained from a trial in Bangkok, the system demonstrates how it enables city governments to monitor abnormalities such as speeding, illegal parking, illegal use of motorists on pavements and even detection of broken traffic lights. Other types of scenario detection include checking of suspicious items on vehicles and abandoned objects in public areas where the system automatically sends an alert to the command center to quickly identify where the unexpected event is occurring, thereby keeping roads safer.

With cyber attacks on the rise, NEC will also showcase how its powerful advanced cyber security solutions can protect an organization’s IT and security systems from various cyber threats, even before they occur. Highlights include NEC’s Cyber Security Factory, a specialized unit of experts providing round-the-clock professional surveillance of networks and websites, forensic service for investigating malware sources and information leakage, and team-based hands-on training for security professionals.

“NEC has been working with governments globally to implement our public safety and cyber security solutions to make cities safer. NEC hopes to contribute to the development of Thailand’s digital transformation through the provision of advanced technologies for the safety and security of its communities nationwide,” said Takayuki Kano, President of NEC Corporation (Thailand) Ltd.

On 23 May, NEC Corporation announced its collaboration with Thailand’s National Disaster Warning Center (NDWC), where a trial of NEC’s flood simulation system was carried out to predict the inundation areas in the event of flood. The trial was conducted in Uttaradit Province in Northern Thailand during the period from November 2015 to March 2016, and successfully confirmed the effectiveness of the system.
