Advanced Broadcast Solutions – Asia was founded to allow customers to receive the personal attention and support required to combat the changing technology
and operational challenges in the Broadcast Industry. This landscape was seeing the decreasing ability for manufacturers to meet the needs of customers directly
which opened the opportunity for a customer centric and engineering focused company to help fill the gaps. This philosophy of placing customer needs first
and finding the right technology and services required within budget helped ABS to grow quickly.
With the success of multiple key customers in both broadcast and corporate markets, ABS realized that to service its customers it must be in close proximity
to them and continues to expand with local offices in the region. Only with local focus is ABS able to meet the operational requirements and cost structures demanded by its customers.
ABOUT - Advanced Broadcast Solutions Asia
Embracing this philosophy lead ABS to focus on its three key markets: Consulting, Design and Build (Integration) and Product Supply. Each area key as the demands on customers and increase of delivery and program requirements of customers continued to increase. By helping customers concentrate on their business and trusting ABS to take care of the design our customers knew they could succeed. Advanced Broadcast Solutions further worked with key manufacturers to develop a complete ecosystem
of products, knowledge and supply which enables customers to feel confident that their systems are designed and deployed by the leading experts in the industry. This holistic approach to systems integration has continued to set ABS apart.
TECHNOLOGY REDEFINED
The Media Industry and related markets are changing at a staggering rate. What was a world of the proprietary highly customized hardware and systems has been rapidly changing to a market where many consumer technologies and commodity systems are beginning to rule. The environment has shifted to allow new segments to harness the power of broadcast including: corporate, government, education, religious and entertainment. What was reserved for the broadcaster alone has now opened to OTT, DTV, VOD and personalized delivery.
The technology is also changing rapidly from base band SD, HD or UHD to IP based production. IP is enabling production and content processing to be accomplished across offices, cities and around the world. As computers and software have advanced to a point today where many standard computers are able to process and deliver even richer more dynamic content than was previously possible on specialized hardware. The IP networks today can also easily handle the bandwidth required to deliver or create content across the world. It is in this landscape the “media” companies of today must navigate.
ABS helps each customer identify their place within this market and navigate the turbulent waters of change. ABS is helping to blur the lines between industries and technologies to unleash the power of its customers.
