of the giants @CommunicAsia2005
SINGAPORE
-- Global leaders such as Intelsat, LG Electronics,
Lucent Technologies, Polycom, Samsung, Shin Satellite,
and Telekom Malaysia are among some of the leading companies
already confirmed as participating in next year's CommunicAsia
exhibition in Singapore (June 14-17).
CommunicAsia, which filled six halls at the giant Singapore
Expo Center last year and was at the forefront of exhibition
growth in the global telecom industry, already looks
set to break last year's attendance figures. Response
to CommunicAsia2005 has been positive, signaling a tremendous
uptake of booth space early in advance. Some of the
other big players that have signed up for CommunicAsia2005
are Aces, Arianespace, Andrew Corp., Binariang Satellite,
CBOSS, Unified Communications, Worldsat and several
others.
Richard Bowles, director ASEAN Office, Arianespace Singapore,
said: "As a leader in commercial launch services,
we have customers in satellite communications, satellite
broadband, satellite manufacturing, telecommunications,
research institutions, etc., from Europe, North America,
Asia, the Middle East and other countries. We have been
participating in CommunicAsia since 1992 because it
is an international exhibition that enables us to reach
out to our target customers and meet new potential customers.
We also use it as an opportunity to touch base with
our international customers as well as our regional
customers from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia,
Laos, Vietnam, Singapore, Japan, India and China."
The outlook for the ICT industry has been positive and
Asia will continue to be the hotbed for 3G adoption.
Group pavilions that have registered commitment to return
to CommunicAsia2005 are Germany, Korea, Sweden, Canada,
Ireland, United Kingdom, United States, India, France,
the Philippines, Taiwan, New Zealand and Singapore.
All the latest IT trends will be reflected at CommunicAsia2005,
where technologies from broadband communications, satellite,
digital lifestyle, mobile communications, security and
smart card solutions, to enterprise solutions, will
converge. EnterpriseIT, Asia's only dedicated exhibition
for enterprise technology, this year will feature the
latest in web services, storage systems, business intelligence,
content management, security management, outsourcing
services, asset management and other innovative solutions.
Exhibitors can expect to see more visitors from India,
China, Indonesia, Korea, the Philippines and Vietnam
next year at the two shows. A growth in visitors was
registered from these countries at CommunicAsia2004
this year.
Over 1,300 companies and 45,000 business professionals
gathered at CommunicAsia last year to network, exchange
ideas and form business deals. The event has a wide
international scope with 80 percent of the exhibiting
companies from the region and beyond. CommunicAsia,
EnterpriseIT and BroadcastAsia are key components of
the five-day Infocomm Media Business Exchange (imbX),
which is held annually in Singapore in the month of
June.
The Infocomm Media Business Exchange (imbX) is Asia's
