Proven in US Schools... Jangsu Communications Launches 'HALO' Sensor for Blind Spot Monitoring

Multi-purpose monitoring equipment, proven to be effective in accident prevention at numerous educational institutions such as Castleberry School in the United States and Green Dot Schools, is being introduced to educational settings in Korea. Jangsu Communications, a partner of Motorola Solutions, announced that it will supply the 'HALO' smart sensor to the domestic elementary school market to ensure safety in areas where surveillance camera installation is restricted, such as school restrooms and rooftops.

This device, developed by HALO Smart Solutions Inc., which was acquired by Motorola Solutions, incorporates internationally patented technology. Since it does not engage in video recording or audio capture, it is suitable for installation in areas where student privacy must be protected. Its advantage lies in the ability to monitor in real time for more than 20 types of anomalies—including sound, movement, harmful gases, and air quality—with a single device.

The core function is the real-time detection of vaping and electronic cigarette use, which has recently become a major problem within schools. The device applies a dynamic vaping detection algorithm that instantly reads smoke particles in the air. Furthermore, it can detect masking attempts—such as spraying aerosol-based products like perfume or air fresheners to conceal smoking—and immediately sends warning alerts to school administrators or security teams.

The sensor also provides indoor environmental maintenance and integrated security features. It tracks air pollutants such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds to prevent air quality deterioration, and its built-in sound and motion detection sensors capture unusual noises and suspicious activities, such as indications of school violence. In addition, it offers automated control of lighting and HVAC systems through motion recognition, as well as predictive maintenance for major equipment by monitoring temperature and humidity to prevent overheating.

This sensor supports an open application programming interface (API), enabling seamless integration and deployment with a school’s existing security system. Overseas schools that have already adopted this system have reported significant outcomes in various areas, including improved air quality and effective vaping detection.

A representative from Jangsu Communications stated, "We plan to focus on introducing this product—selected as a 'Top 30 Security Technology Innovation'—to the domestic elementary school market," adding, "We expect it to eliminate blind spots not covered by CCTV, ensure student safety, and significantly reduce the safety management workload for teachers."
