Global Invacom's Fibre Integrated Reception System Recognised by Malaysia for Nationwide Rollout
London / Singapore, 17 May 2017 - Global Invacom Group Limited ("Global Invacom" or "the Group"), a satellite communications equipment provider listed on the Singapore Exchange and the U.K. AIM Market, says its Fibre Integrated Reception System ("FibreIRS") has been recognised for its practicality, feasibility and reliability in providing solutions to fibre connections in buildings. This has contributed towards the creation of the Malaysian Technical Standards Forum Bhd (MTSFB) Technical Code document entitled "Technical Standard and Infrastructure Requirements for Broadcast Network Facility".
The MTSFB Technical Code was developed by its Broadcast Network Facilities Working Group (BNF WG), to outline the infrastructure requirements for the purpose of setting up a common and integrated broadcast distribution system. It is aimed at consulting engineers, developers, owners and other parties responsible for the provisions to be made available in the buildings. It also provides the minimum technical specifications necessary for the broadcast broadband distribution system to function as required.
Global Invacom's FibreIRS will be at the forefront of compliant product offering satellite broadcast reception in any building across the country. The product allows each individual area within a multi dwelling unit, office building, hotel or other complex, to be supplied with satellite services through one single antenna installation as if connected directly to its own antenna. There are further advantages over other systems in that it is passive (requiring no additional power supply) and uses one single fibre cable for installation rather than multiple, traditional coaxial cables.
"We are pleased that our internationally acclaimed FibreIRS has been recognised as a solution for national use in Malaysia. This is a major achievement that underscores our commitment to superior quality and strengthens our value proposition for Malaysian network operators and end-users," said Mr Tony Taylor, Global Invacom's Executive Chairman.
MTSFB BNF WG Chairman, En. Mohamad Isa Mohd Razhali said: "We acknowledge the contribution of the Global Invacom team, especially in fibre related matters, including Global Invacom's FibreIRS, that was considered by the BNF WG to envisage fibre connection in a building. The inclusion of the information provided by Global Invacom, and the input during the development of the document, reflects the recognition of the BNF WG and MTSFB for the practicality, feasibility and reliability of the solution."
"Technology such as Global Invacom's FibreIRS will mean even better network infrastructure on a national scale. This will boost the quality and reliability of satellite broadcast services for users in Malaysia."
FibreIRS, which comprises Quad and Quatro Gateway Termination Units (GTU), comes in two standards: Full Fibre System and Hybrid System. For more information, please visit: http://www.globalinvacom.com/products/fibre
