C-COM Announces Global Strategic Partnership
With Vislink
C-COM Satellite Systems Inc., has entered into a strategic partnership
with Vislink (LSE:VLK) a United Kingdom based secure communication
technology provider.
Vislink will promote, market, sell and support the C-COM manufactured
range of iNetVu® products, which would complement Vislink's existing product
range and allow it to expand into new vertical markets including oil & gas;
mining; police, fire, emergency and disaster management.
The iNetVu® mobile antennas will be integrated with
Vislink's technology and sold by Vislink to their customers as turnkey
systems. C-COM will also promote and sell Vislink's high end SNG and MSAT
antenna products by making it available to all its resellers around the
globe.
"C-COM's Ka-band iNetVu® Mobile antennas combined with Vislink's
broadcast and security solutions should open up new vertical markets for
both companies. Vislink's global presence combined with our worldwide
reseller network will allow us to generate incremental revenues by
delivering new applications to our mutual customer base," said Leslie Klein,
President and CEO of C-COM Satellite Systems Inc.
C-COM and Vislink will co-operate on joint R&D projects to develop new
products and to leverage on the support programs and incentives offered for
research and development in Canada. "The combined resources and strengths of
both companies should reduce overall costs for research and development and
also reduce time to market," said Bilal Awada, CTO of C-COM Satellite
Systems Inc.
John Hawkins, Executive Chairman of Vislink, says, "We have found C-COM
very easy to do business with. The iNetVu® products are of excellent quality
and really do enhance our own product ranges. Through this cooperation
including future joint developments we see a great opportunity to grow
together."
