Skyline bolstering APAC operation


Izegem, Belgium, September 2017 – Skyline Communications, the global leading supplier of end-to-end multi-vendor network management, orchestration and OSS software solutions for the broadcast, satellite, IPTV and cable industry, announces the opening of a new office in Singapore to further support the continuous growth in the APAC region. This new and strategic Skyline hub will spearhead all customer-facing services for the APAC region, from sales consultancy, across contract fulfillment, to operational support. The initiative underlines the long-term commitment from Skyline to build strong alliances with its customers, in order to enable them to further increase their quality of service and reduce their operational cost in an ever more complex broadcast and media technology landscape.


"Currently, our flagship DataMiner multi-vendor end-to-end network management, orchestration and OSS platform is deployed by leading operators in well over 100 countries around the world. This includes many deployments across the entire APAC region, and that across all industry segments that we serve. For example, DataMiner manages digital terrestrial television networks across Vietnam, the Philippines, and Singapore, all the way down and across the vast territories of Australia. Leading corporations such as Singtel, the ABC, NBN, Broadcast Australia, Telstra, Tata Communications, myTV and Mediacorp, just to name a few, they all rely on DataMiner to manage some of their most critical broadcast and media platforms," commented Ben Vandenberghe, CEO at Skyline Communications. "DataMiner is literally a world-leading software platform. From a technology perspective, there's nothing alike in terms of features and capabilities, and we have a strong reputation of continuous and often even very disruptive innovation. But it is not only about our software technology and our strong track record of innovation, it's also about our unique and widely sought-after expertise. The combined expertise at Skyline in terms of how complex broadcast and media platforms can be managed efficiently, end-to-end across any vendor boundaries, across both hardware and software components as well as across on-premises and off-premises resources, is truly unsurpassed in the entire industry."


"Considering our long-term commitment and the way we partner with our customers in powerful strategic alliances, we are continuously expanding our local presence across all regions. Currently, Skyline’s operation spans across more than 20 different key locations around the world, and we are very excited to now add Singapore as one of the key hubs in that ever expanding network, " added Frederik Vandenberghe, CFO at Skyline Communications. "Driven by the high demand for our cutting-edge DataMiner software platform, which has evolved from a nice-to-have to one of the most strategic assets for a next-generation broadcast and media operation, we have already hired over 50 skilled ICT, broadcast and telecom engineers in the first half of this year. This trend will continue and even further accelerate, and with the new Singapore hub we want to emphasize our commitment to the APAC region."
