to meet particular onsite functions, this flexibility
enables customers to configure settings

Development of MA8200Air VoIP Bulletin
Terminals with Wireless LAN function and
Outdoor Loudspeakers for VoIP Bulletin System
OKI has developed MA8200Air VoIP Bulletin
Terminals with wireless LAN function and Outdoor
Loudspeakers as part of its new VoIP bulletin
systems lineup for the dissemination of emergency
notices and two-way communications with people
who are at home during disasters.
A wireless LAN card mounted on the MA8200Air
allows Internet access to residents in areas without
broadband via non-personal computer Internet
accessible devices, such as mobile game consoles.
OKI’s Outdoor Loudspeakers utilize know-how
cultivated over many years. In addition, this product
can be substituted into older municipal governments’
radio communication systems in accordance with the
areas’ information transmission platforms.
OKI provides its FSE™ Face Sensing
Middleware to the Nintendo DSi™
OKI’s FSE (Face Sensing Engine), a middleware /
hardware IP for embedding purposes is now
mounted to the main body of Nintendo’s game
console, Nintendo DSi, becoming a standard
feature of this product.
FSE is used in Nintendo DSi as a face sensing
engine to detect human faces in photos and
video images, to extract particular facial
features, such as the eyes and mouth, and to
enable personal identification through faces. It
is used with the “Nintendo DSi camera,” a
game software using photos taken with the
internal camera to identify similarities between
two people and composite two faces.
