Arvia Powered Smart City Terengganu 2026

Arvia Smart City Terengganu 2026: FlipTouch and Horizontal Kiosk Showcase

Arvia Smart City Terengganu 2026 marked a milestone on 19 October 2026, when Arvia was named a strategic technology partner for Smart Terengganu 2040, the state’s smart city blueprint led by PLANMalaysia@Terengganu, bringing FlipTouch and a horizontal interactive kiosk to the Duyong Convention Centre (DCC), Pulau Duyong, Kuala Terengganu.

FlipTouch Powers the Arvia Smart City Terengganu Showcase

At the heart of the DCC showcase was FlipTouch, Arvia’s portable touchscreen display, powering a photobooth that let attendees engage with the technology directly instead of just watching it from a distance. It was a small but memorable way of bringing the Arvia Smart City Terengganu showcase to life, giving visitors a reason to stop, interact and actually try the technology rather than simply viewing it from across the hall.

That kind of hands-on moment matters for a smart city initiative, since it turns an abstract idea into something people can point to and say they used themselves.

A Horizontal Interactive Kiosk at the Centre of the Showcase

Alongside FlipTouch, Arvia brought a horizontal interactive kiosk to the DCC, demonstrating the kind of wayfinding, information display and self-service touchpoint that a smart city can put to work in public spaces and local authority buildings. The horizontal format made it easy for several attendees to gather round and explore it together, rather than queuing one at a time the way a traditional upright kiosk often requires.

For Arvia Smart City Terengganu 2026, the kiosk served as a practical example of what the Smart Terengganu 2040 blueprint can look like once it moves from a planning document into something the public actually encounters in a public building or town square.

Smartboards Also Part of the Showcase

Arvia also brought smartboards to the event, representing the displays it already supplies to local authorities (PBT) across Terengganu for meetings and briefings. While FlipTouch and the horizontal kiosk were the stars of the public-facing showcase, the smartboards were a reminder that Arvia’s presence in Terengganu’s council offices is already well established, not just a one-off appearance for the occasion.

Key Features at a Glance

The Arvia Smart City Terengganu showcase brought together several pieces of technology:

• FlipTouch powering an interactive photobooth for hands-on engagement
• A horizontal interactive kiosk for public-facing information and self-service use
• Smartboards already deployed in local authority (PBT) offices across Terengganu
• A strategic technology partnership with Smart Terengganu 2040 going forward

Meeting Terengganu’s Leadership

Arvia’s team had the opportunity to meet YBhg. Dato’ Hj. Wan Mohd Sukairi bin Wan Abdullah, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kerajaan Tempatan, Perumahan dan Kesihatan Negeri Terengganu, together with YBhg. Datuk Ts. Dr. Alias bin Rameli, Ketua Pengarah PLANMalaysia (Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa), at the event. The conversation centred on how practical, visible technology like FlipTouch and the horizontal kiosk can support the state’s smart city ambitions in ways residents and council staff can see and use directly.

What This Means for Terengganu’s Smart City Journey

Being named a strategic partner for Arvia Smart City Terengganu 2026 is a meaningful step for Arvia beyond any single installation. It reflects a longer-term role supporting how the state’s local authorities, from Kuala Terengganu to Dungun and Marang, adopt interactive and display technology as part of their everyday operations, not just as one-off upgrades.

For residents, that can eventually mean more public-facing touchpoints, like the kiosk and photobooth showcased at the DCC, appearing in council offices and public spaces across the state as the Smart Terengganu 2040 blueprint continues to roll out.

It also gives other states and local authorities a working example to look at, rather than a concept to imagine. Seeing FlipTouch and the horizontal kiosk in action, alongside the smartboards already in use in Terengganu’s council offices, makes the idea of a smart city feel immediate rather than years away.

Why This Partnership Matters Beyond a Single Event

It is easy for a smart city blueprint to stay at the level of planning documents and policy statements, especially one covering as many local authorities as Terengganu’s does. What made the DCC showcase worth attending was that it put actual, working technology, FlipTouch, the horizontal kiosk and the smartboards, in front of state leadership and the public at the same time, rather than describing it secondhand.

That hands-on approach also reflects how Arvia prefers to work with government partners generally: showing up with equipment that is already running, rather than only presenting specifications and promises. For a state-level initiative the size of Smart Terengganu 2040, being able to see and touch the technology firsthand tends to carry more weight than a slide deck ever could.

Delivered by Arvia

Arvia’s team organised and ran the showcase at the DCC, from FlipTouch and the horizontal kiosk that gave attendees something to interact with on the day to the smartboards representing its existing work with Terengganu’s local authorities.
