This year, CommunicAsia was all about the future of connectivity. The world’s leading telecom and tech brands converged in Singapore to explore everything from exploding demand for bandwidth to expanding markets for satellite.
For VT iDirect, the event got off to a strong start with our 2017 iDirect Asia Pacific Partner Event. More than 70 customers packed the house, and the buzz was unmistakable as Kevin Steen, President and CEO, VT iDirect, announced that our new DVB-S2X iQ Desktop remote and Intelligent Gateway entered live testing. Following a series of over-the-air tests with Inmarsat, Intelsat and SES, where we set new records for bandwidth efficiency, our customers are eager to get their hands on our new DVB-S2X technology and achieve their own performance results.
Throughout the show, our booth continued the buzz as hundreds more customers stopped by to check out the iQ Desktop, hear about our new defense product lineup, see firsthand the new Kymeta flat-panel mTenna, and learn about all the innovation iDirect is bringing to the market today.
Mike Liou, Vice President of Product Management, VT iDirect, presented a keynote address at the ST Electronics Technology Seminar 2017 attended by a high-profile crowd of tech and government leaders. Liou revealed the role satellite communications is playing in global telecom and detailed how iDirect is transforming its technology to make satellite smarter, faster, and more efficient – poised to bring new answers to today’s surging connectivity demands.
The future of iDirect and the satellite industry was vividly on display at CommunicAsia. And judging by all the excitement – from partners to tradeshow attendees to business and government leaders – the region is ready for what the future will bring.
