...of companies as demand for greater connectivity increases, new technologies continue to be deployed and more players come into play. Both shows, held from June 18 to 21, 2013, will be housed at the Marina Bay Sands and have already witnessed strong exhibition space bookings by returning and new exhibitors, seven months ahead of the event. Together, these shows are Asia’s most unique industry event, highlighting current debate and live demonstrations across the latest technology breakthroughs and applications, ranging from cloud, mobile, broadband, security, satellite, M2M and vertical solutions.
2013 promises to parallel this year’s success with a host of satellite communications and technologies exhibitors already signed up, including Asia Broadcast Satellite, Asia Satellite, Advantech Wireless, APT Satellite, China Satellite Communications, Cobham, Comtech Telecommunications, iDirect, Inmarsat, Intelsat, Newtec, Measat Satellite Systems, Novelsat, Russian Satellite Communications Company, SES, Singapore Technologies Electronics, SkyPerfect JSAT, Thaicom Public Company and Work Microwave. These companies will form part of SatComm2013, which is incorporated with CommunicAsia2013 and EnterpriseIT2013. SatComm2013 is the choice business platform in Asia for the satellite communications industry, and exhibitors are leveraging this to provide turnkey solutions that address critical issues surrounding Asia’s telecoms ecosystem, whilst heightening their presence in the region’s robust marketplace.
Many satellite exhibitors are also returning in 2013 to increase their presence at the show and have invested in expanding their exhibition booth space. Intelsat, which has exhibited at the event for the past ten years, will again be supporting 2013’s event, with Mr. Terry Bleakley, Intelsat’s RVP, Asia Pacific Sales, said, “CommunicAsia and EnterpriseIT are truly international shows in Asia where business professionals across a range of industries come together in one place. For the past decade, the events have been a focal point of our business and they will continue to play a key role in our operations to support our outreach both in the region and beyond.”
Satellite communications specialist Newtec has been involved with CommunicAsia for more than a decade, playing a major role in the company’s expansion. Mr. Serge Van Herck, CEO, Newtec, said, “CommunicAsia represents a good investment for us as it explores the future of satellite communications while providing fantastic networking opportunities and enabling us to showcase our latest innovations to further support our customers.”
Attendees hailing from a myriad range of industry verticals, including Maritime, Oil & Gas, Defense and Government will get to see Asia’s largest congregation of international satellite companies, such as Cobham, iDirect, Inmarsat, Newtec, Singapore Technologies and SpeedCast. These companies in particular offer a flexible range of satellite communications solutions and applications that meet the diverse requirements of these verticals. The SatComm Evolution track, a part of CommunicAsia2013 Summit, will bring together Asian and global satellite operators as well as suppliers of satellite technology to discuss vital business issues that are driving the industry today, and transforming the business for tomorrow. This track already boasts several confirmed speaking companies, such as Erez Antebi, CEO, Gilat Satellite Networks; Ramesh Ramaswarmy, Vice President of Sales, Hughes; and Pierre-Jean Beylier, CEO, Speedcast; among many others.
Key areas that will be addressed include the future of satellite businesses; determining which business models will be most suitable to monetise new technologies; and solutions to meet the demands of the vertical markets.
