The 23rd edition CABSAT opens its gate today to welcome experts, professionals and hobbyists seeking to target broadcasters, production houses and studios, animation houses, content owners and creators, software developers telcos, systems integrators and distribution channels in the MEASA region.
The 3 day show will host 900 brands and companies to interact with over 13,000 regional and international industry professionals that are expected to attend the CABSAT this year.
This year’s spotlight for the event will be on the abundant opportunities the market presents for broadcasters and PAY-TV operators to monetise content via an emerging post-TV market.
The market is pushing a shift in monetization models with the mass regional adoption of internet-driven content delivery platforms including Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), TV delivered over broadband, Over The Top (OTT) and content streamed directly to handheld devices, game consoles and SMART TVs connected to broadband.
Trixie LohMirmand, Senior Vice President, Events Management at DWTC said, “CABSAT is the leading satellite and cabling exhibition in the region, and allows our exhibitors and visitors to explore an ever-changing market. The transitional nature of the market this year will bring all new product innovations, technologies and investment avenues to CABSAT 2017.”
In an expansion of CABSAT’s broadcast-related satellite profile, the co-located SATEXPO will deliver all satellite communication solutions and technologies to the MENA region, covering applications for all satellite communications, earth observation, satellite imagery, hybrid network technologies, mobile satellite services and security, and space.
