Genting Singapore Limited and Canon Inc have announced the signing of a basic agreement to form a partnership relating to “cutting-edge technologies, products and solutions” for a world-class IR.
The agreement includes the implementation of Canon’s intelligent surveillance, security and video solutions to be utilized on the gaming floor and at other attractions at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS).

Ltd, added, “I’m very pleased that this collaboration with Genting can be extended to surveillance and security business with intelligent functions.
