    BroadcastAsia 2024 gets mixed reviews

    Mumbai: Was Broadcast Asia, Communicasia or Asiatch x Singapore– the annual confab of the content technology industry which was held from 29-31 May  in the Singapore Expo – a great success? The jury is out as the reviews were mixed from those attending – right from it being a fabulous event to it being  slow.

    For starters, there were four halls – Halls 3,4,5,6. But they were not packed with booths; there were empty areas in which table top games were placed. Stands too seemed to have shrunk with exhibitors veering towards caution during a touch year financially. AWS was conspicuous by its absence in the large format stand that we were used to, though it had chosen to be a sponsor of one of the conference tracks. The innovation zone did not seem to have too many innovative ideas, with small pods and students exhibiting their professor’s or their own inventions for start ups.

    The conferences too did not have a full house, with some being half full or even less, though tracks focused on generative AI, the space satellite segment, fast channels et al.

    For those who chose to exhibit and be a part of it, there were networking opportunites, and even better still, prospects of new clients. The tidings are looking good, said many an exhibitor.

    “We are seeing green shoots,” said one of the exhibitors, unwilling to be identified. “Hopefully, the market for hardware and software services sector targeted at content creation should pick up in the next three to four months.”

    For the new tech seekers, there were hardly any major announcements of new products and services. For that, it will be over to IBC in September.

    Singapore readies for Broadcast Asia, SIF

    Mumbai: Many a flight path will be leading to Singapore’s Changi airport come 28 June 2024. Executives from all over Asia – and the world – will be winging their way into the city-state for the broadcast, streaming, satellite, and communications industries’ Satellite Industry Forum (SIF), Broadcast Asia 2024 and CommunicAsia. Even the fear of rising Covid cases in Singapore, will not dampen the enthusiasm of those interested in knowing the latest in tech. Covid, this time, while it is causing some discomfort amongst seniors, is mild in its symptoms. The super seniors are however getting hit relatively hard and masking has been recommended to prevent Covid’s spread.

    The hot topics to be discussed at the annual confab will be varying from virtual production to generative AI to FAST channels to programmatic advertising to innovation in acquisition and contribution to the cloud.

    “Broadcast Asia is the third most important tech event in the calendar after NAB Show and IBC,” said an executive. “And since it takes place two months after NAB Show and two months before IBC it provides a good window to new tech that has been introduced and a peep into new tech that’s going to be launched at IBC.”

    To be held over three days from 29-31 May 2024 at the Singapore Expo, Broadcast Asia is preceded by the SIF  on 28 May, where the current status of satellites as a distribution platform for video, data, telephony, the internet and their future where increasingly IP delivery is being resorted to by one and all.

    Shifts in broadcasting economics addressed at BroadcastAsia2015

It is one of the only global studies of its kind undertaken annually that looks at the evolution of entertainment through the lens of consumer engagement with content, connected devices, and each other.

     

    “This week at BroadcastAsia2015, we shared a first look of the findings of our ARRIS Consumer Entertainment Index. This event provided the perfect platform for us to talk about the evolving trends of consumers from across APAC.

  • Global industry leaders come together at Trade Fair in Singapore

    Global industry leaders come together at Trade Fair in Singapore

    MUMBAI: Fulfilling business interactions and knowledge exchange amongst like-minded industry professionals marked CommunicAsia2013, EnterpriseIT2013 and BroadcastAsia2013, a one of its kind industry event in Asia. The four day event, starting 18 June, got global industry leaders together to showcase latest technologies and solutions for information and communications technology (ICT) and digital media industries.

    The event which was held at a uniquely spectacular venue, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore saw 51,000 attendees from 100 countries/regions. Unlike past years, CommunicAsia/ EnterpriseIT and BroadcastAsia this year was conducted under one roof. While CommunicAsia was held at basement 2 and level 1, BroadcastAsia was organised on level 3, 4 and 5. The arrangement proved advantageous to visitors as they had to only climb different levels, instead of different venues.

    This year, while CommunicAsia had 1,328 exhibitors, of which 82 per cent was from overseas, BroadcastAsia had 716 exhibitors of which the overseas exhibitors comprised 86 per cent.

    Themed ‘The Next Wave: Empowered Customer‘, CommunicAsia focused on the central information requirements and featured 8 tracks and 2 interactive workshops. The BroadCastAsia international conference was designed on the theme ‘Enhancing User Experience, Monetising Content.‘

    What marred the excellent organisation was the heavy smog, which made visibility difficult even at 100 metres.

    “The show has done extremely well this year. All the attendees, including exhibitors, conference speakers, delegates as well as members of the press, have expressed satisfaction in terms of the content of the show. For us, this is testament to our success,” said Singapore Exhibition Services (SES) Chief Executive, Stephen Tan. SES is the organiser of CommunicAsia2013, EnterpriseIT2013 and BroadcastAsia2013.

    “By holding all the shows under one roof, we could leverage the increasing convergence of technologies across both sectors, and still have each show maintain its own appeal,” he added.

    Unveiling of Panasonic Toughpad JT-B1, a 7-inch Android rugged tablet designed for Asian customers, Huawei‘s- P6 Ascend, world‘s slimmest smartphone and Thuraya‘s innovative phone sleeve, that converts ordinary iPhone into a satellite phone for mobile communications almost anywhere in the world, by connecting the phone to Thuraya‘s satellites, were among the major highlights of Enterprise and Communic Asia 2013.

    Retail Juice chief executive officer Richard Jones said, “This is our first experience with exhibiting at CommunicAsia and it has been fantastic. It has exceeded our expectations both with the number of visitors and leads we have generated, and also the quality and diversity of opportunities we have created.” Jones through the exhibition has developed new relationships with potential customers and partners in Asia, Europe and America. “We will be returning next year and also recommending the event as a great business investment,” he opined.

    CommunicAsia2013 also brought together its largest ever contingent of more than 130 satellite communications companies. Asia Broadcast Satellite, APT Satellite, Asia Satellite Telecommunications, China Satcom, Eutelsat, Intelsat, Inmarsat, MEASAT, SES, SKY Perfect JSAT and THAICOM among others showcased their latest satellite communication solutions and applications in broadband, HD content delivery and remote area connectivity for government, military and maritime sectors as well as innovations that will bridge the gap between the ICT and broadcasting industries.

    Adding to the list of many of the firsts, the tradeshow also streamed live ultra high-definition content to an Ultra HD TV screen over MEASAT‘s satellite network, using Ericsson‘s compression technology.

    “There is a good representation of international exhibitors at CommunicAsia2013 and I‘m impressed with the show. In particular, the solutions provided by the exhibitors from China attracted my attention because of their competitive pricing. I am here to find suppliers for fibre optic deployment and I have found useful contacts for future partnerships,” said PT. Ketrosden Triasmitra of Indonesia business and risk analysis manager Irene Mayarani.
