Asia’s first portable, full-LED ASB GlassFloor installation expands the possibilities for multi-purpose arena operations in Japan.

OKINAWA, Japan – 19/06/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – ASB GlassFloor, a leading innovator in global sports flooring, alongside its subsidiary ASB Arena and Event Services (AES), today announced the installation of ASB GlassFloor at the Okinawa Suntory Arena. This project marks the first time a venue in Japan and Asia has deployed the full-LED glass floor for professional sports competition. Notably, this installation represents ASB GlassFloor’s first-ever portable court system globally, providing the world-class arena and its home team, the Ryukyu Golden Kings, with unprecedented operational flexibility and commercial opportunities for a wide range of sports and entertainment events.

A New Level of Venue Flexibility

As ASB GlassFloor’s first portable arena installation, the project highlights how modern venues can make better use of their infrastructure. The mobile floor allows operators to adapt the playing surface to a wide variety of event formats, from elite sports competitions to concerts, esports, MICE events, and exhibitions, creating new opportunities for programming, sponsorship, and fan engagement with the click of a button ultimately, helping maximizing the use of the arena throughout the year.

New Levels of Fan Engagement and Commercial Opportunity

The ASB GlassFloor expands what is possible inside Okinawa Suntory Arena. For fans, it enables a more integrated visual experience by extending content from arena display onto the court. For venues and teams, the full-LED surface enables sponsorship and branding activations on the court, supporting new commercial packages compared to conventional arenas setups.

Alongside the installation, Okinawa Suntory Arena will partner with ASB Arena and Event Services (AES) to support the operation and commercial use of the ASB GlassFloor. The agreement covers servicing, maintenance, partnership on commercialization, and content creation.

Clear Differentiation in an Increasingly Competitive Market

As competition among large-scale arenas continues to increase within Japan and across Asia, Okinawa Suntory Arena is making a long-term investment in its infrastructure. The ASB GlassFloor positions Okinawa Suntory Arena among a group of venues adopting new in-arena presentation technologies and a first mover in its market. The floor will provide arena tenants with a visually adaptive space capable of creating new experiences and attracting new audiences and commercial partnerships.

Home of Ryukyu Golden Kings and the B.League

Okinawa Suntory Arena is home to the Ryukyu Golden Kings, one of Japan’s most successful professional basketball Clubs and widely regarded as one of the B Leagues flagship franchises. The Ryukyu Golden Kings have established themselves as one of the benchmark organizations in Japanese basketball, combining sporting excellence with an unwavering commitment to their community and fans. The league has continued to develop its in-arena entertainment and commercial approach in recent seasons, and the ASB GlassFloor supports that direction by enabling additional presentation and branding capabilities within the venue.

A Milestone for Arena Innovation in Asia

The installation reflects the growing demand for technologies that help venues maximize flexibility, create new commercial opportunities, and deliver more engaging experiences for fans. As Asia’s first portable ASB GlassFloor installation, the project demonstrates how digital sports infrastructure can support a broader range of events while giving organizers new ways to transform the live experience.

“Japan continues to lead the way in redefining the live sports experience, and the Ryukyu Golden Kings have been at the forefront of that evolution. Together, we share a vision of using innovation to create deeper connections between fans, partners, and the game itself. Through this partnership, we look forward to exploring new ways to enhance the in-arena experience, unlock new commercial opportunities, and further strengthen Okinawa Suntory Arena’s position as one of the most forward-thinking sports and entertainment venues in the world. We believe this collaboration represents more than a partnership between two organizations. It is a shared commitment to shaping the future of basketball and live entertainment in Japan while delivering lasting value to the club, its partners, and its passionate fan base”, says Benedikt von Dohnanyi, CEO at ASB Arena and Event Services.

Brussels, Belgium – Airwheel, a global innovator in smart mobility and intelligent travel solutions, today announced the launch of AI Suitcase. AI Suitcase is Airwheel’s self-developed next-generation intelligent travel terminal, designed to go far beyond the traditional role of luggage. By seamlessly integrating an Electric Suitcase, Rideable Suitcase, Cabin Suitcase, and Smart Luggage into a single platform, AI Suitcase transforms the way people move through airports, railway stations, business districts, and urban environments.

As one of the latest innovations within Airwheel’s smart mobility ecosystem, AI Suitcase combines electric riding capability, AI-powered connectivity, Apple Find My integration, portable power storage, intelligent security features, and premium industrial design into one advanced travel solution.

Designed for modern travelers, business professionals, and technology enthusiasts, AI Suitcase is not simply a 20-inch carry-on suitcase—it is an AI-powered travel companion built for the future of mobility.

AI-Powered Riding System — Redefining the Electric Suitcase Experience

AI Suitcase revolutionizes traditional travel by transforming luggage into a personal mobility device. Combining storage and transportation in one product, it delivers a smarter and more efficient travel experience.

Ride Smarter, Travel Faster

As a next-generation Rideable Suitcase, AI Suitcase is equipped with a high-performance brushless motor, an intelligent telescopic riding handle, and an ergonomic shock-absorbing seat.

With a single-touch deployment system, users can instantly switch from luggage mode to riding mode. Powered by an intelligent speed control system, AI Suitcase reaches speeds of up to 9.9–13 km/h, significantly faster than walking.

The riding system supports forward movement, precision braking, reverse operation, and multiple speed settings, providing smooth and intuitive control.

Its 5.2-inch high-elasticity shock-absorbing wheels are designed to handle various surfaces, including airport terminals, train stations, exhibition centers, paved roads, and urban walkways, allowing users to travel comfortably with minimal effort.

Whether navigating long airport corridors or moving between meetings in a busy city, AI Suitcase helps travelers move faster and more efficiently.

Airline-Compliant Cabin Suitcase Design

As a fully compliant Cabin Suitcase, AI Suitcase is built to meet the carry-on requirements of most major airlines worldwide.

The suitcase features a modular removable lithium battery designed in accordance with international aviation safety regulations and IATA guidelines, allowing travelers to bring it onboard without checked baggage requirements.

The battery can be quickly removed during security inspections, making airport screening more convenient.

Despite integrating a complete electric mobility system, the suitcase weighs only approximately 6.6 kg, ensuring excellent portability throughout the journey.

Long-Range Performance and High Load Capacity

AI Suitcase incorporates an intelligent power management system that optimizes energy efficiency while maintaining stable performance.

With a travel range of up to 10 km per charge, it is perfectly suited for large airports, railway stations, convention centers, and short-distance urban transportation.

Its reinforced structural frame supports loads of up to 95 kg, providing a stable and secure riding experience for adult users.

More than just an Electric Suitcase, AI Suitcase serves as a versatile travel solution that combines storage, mobility, and smart technology in a single device.

AI Smart Connectivity Ecosystem — Full APP Control + Apple Find My Tracking

Apple Find My Integration for Global Tracking

Security remains one of the most important aspects of modern travel.

AI Suitcase natively supports Apple’s Find My network, allowing users to connect the suitcase directly to their Apple ID and locate it through the Find My app on iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Leveraging Apple’s global ecosystem of billions of connected devices, travelers can locate their suitcase almost anywhere in the world.

Whether in airports, train stations, hotels, convention centers, or international transit hubs, users can quickly determine the location of their luggage and significantly reduce the risk of loss or misplacement.

For frequent flyers, business travelers, and international travelers, Apple Find My transforms AI Suitcase from traditional Smart Luggage into a truly intelligent tracking suitcase capable of providing global visibility and enhanced travel security.

The system also supports remote sound activation, allowing users to locate the suitcase quickly when nearby.

Compared with conventional Bluetooth trackers, Apple Find My offers broader coverage, greater reliability, and more comprehensive protection.

Award-Winning Aerospace-Grade Design Redefining the Modern Cabin Suitcase

As Airwheel’s flagship Cabin Suitcase, AI Suitcase combines advanced engineering with premium aesthetics.

The suitcase features an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy frame paired with high-strength composite materials, delivering exceptional durability, scratch resistance, and impact protection.

A refined matte finish enhances both visual appeal and tactile quality.

Airwheel’s innovative approach to smart mobility and industrial design has earned recognition through multiple international design awards, reflecting the company’s commitment to excellence and innovation.

Organized Storage with Advanced Security

Separate compartments allow users to neatly store clothing, electronics, travel accessories, and personal items for trips lasting three to five days.

A TSA-approved lock provides additional security while ensuring convenient customs inspections during international travel.

The riding structure folds completely into the suitcase body, maintaining the compact dimensions of a standard 20-inch Cabin Suitcase without compromising storage space.

Portable Energy Hub — Smart Luggage Beyond Storage

Unlike conventional luggage, AI Suitcase integrates portable power functionality into its overall design architecture.

Built-In USB Fast Charging

A discreet USB fast-charging interface is integrated into the side of the suitcase, preserving the product’s streamlined appearance while delivering practical charging capability.

Travelers can conveniently recharge smartphones, tablets, wireless earbuds, smartwatches, action cameras, and other portable devices during airport layovers, train journeys, business trips, or daily commuting.

By combining storage, mobility, and energy supply, AI Suitcase functions as a true mobile power hub for modern travelers.

Designed for Every Travel Scenario — The Future of Intelligent Mobility
