New condo with high technology

JAKARTA (JP): Four South Jakarta condominium towers, scheduled
to be lived in by the middle of next year, will provide residents
with the most sophisticated telecommunications and security
systems, the developer said yesterday.

The towers are equipped with the Australian-designed Home
Automation System. This is the first time the system has been
used in Indonesia although it has been widely used in the United
States, Singapore and Japan, said Sutrisno, president of
developer Puri Casablanca.

The system enables residents to operate the apartment's
lighting system and electrical appliances via telephone.

"The residents can switch on air conditioners and lights from
anywhere in the world by pressing the digital codes on a touch
tone dial," Sutrisno said.

Another features is the Passive Infra Red sensory system which
detects every movement in the room so when a person walks in, the
lights automatically come on, he said.

In the event of a fire or burglary the alarm system can
automatically call four phone numbers saved by the residents in
the system's memory, Sutrisno said.

"Residents can put in the numbers of their cellular phone,
their relatives' number, or the apartment's round the clock
security guards in the system's memory," he said.

Puri Casablanca is located in the middle of the "golden
triangle" (the rapidly growing business area between Jl.Jend.
Sudirman, Jl. Rasuna Said, and Jl. Gatot Subroto). More than half
of the 988 units have been sold for US$1,200 per square meter.

The developer expects to sell 75 percent of the units by next
June, leaving the remaining 25 percent for rent. (04)
