To set the stage for CommunicAsia2016, EnterpriseIT2016 and BroadcastAsia2016, visionary address speaker, Gerd Leonhard, Futurist and Founder and CEO of The Futures Agency explained to attendees that the next 20 years are likely to bring more changes to humanity than the past 300 years. With impending, colossal change upon us, this year's event provided about 48,000 attendees from 102 countries and regions with a platform to engage in meaningful dialogue around new and future solutions that governments and businesses can deploy for success in a digitally transformed world.
In addition to the Singapore government's recent announcement of new technology initiatives, we also saw numerous products and solutions launched at our event over the last four days. These innovative solutions ranged from data analytic tools and devices, smart systems, robotics, virtual reality and more. As our lives and businesses become more digitised, we as event organiser are more determined than ever to deliver high quality and relevant events, bringing new launches and the latest insights each year, said Lindy Wee, Chief Executive of event organiser, Singapore Exhibition Services.
Latest insights and new launches at this year's events
Business and consumer expectation and consumption of mobility and connectivity have risen, with greater demand in quality and speed. According to the Ericsson Mobility Report that was released at the events, 5G subscription uptake was revealed to be faster than 4G, with a forecast for global 5G subscriptions to hit 150 million by the end of 2021.
In addition to insights shared, exhibitors at both CommunicAsia and BroadcastAsia have showcased world's firsts and latest solutions on the back of today's hyper-connectivity. New launches included Panasonic Toughbook CF-20, the world's first full-rugged detachable notebook, the first VR ready Dell precision workstations for enhanced experiences, MobiQuest's air quality monitoring platform, iSense Air, Imagine Communications' Ultra High Definition production tools and operational management platform, Ideal Systems' new revenue-generating systems for broadcasting industry, and more.
The world of VR is quickly growing beyond media and entertainment, supported by the advancement of technology that allows for optimal VR experience, whether consuming or creating VR content. Dell has been delivering immersive computing experience for many years and is committed in enabling VR partners across the entire ecosystem besides providing advanced hardware configuration. BroadcastAsia provided the perfect opportunity to showcase how we can support the democratisation of VR for the masses in areas such as Education, Architecture & Real Estate, Manufacturing, and Advertising. We have had overwhelming response at the booth, and look forward to developing new partnerships in furthering the growth of VR in the APJ region, said Harveenpal Singh, Business Development Lead, Precision Workstation, Client Solutions, Dell APJ.
We were very impressed with the level of real demand for the next generation IP-based broadcast systems. We had an overwhelming response to the new systems we launched in Asia for the first time at BroadcastAsia. From revenue-generating systems like Paywizard and Starfish right through to the revolutionary Electricfriends camera robotic system that we use to great effect with Vizrt in their augmented reality demos, said Fintan Mc Kiernan, Chief Executive Officer, Ideal Systems SEA.
Michael Tan, Founder and CEO of Zap Delivery said, Zap Delivery participated in this years CommunicAsia to showcase our new e-commerce delivery platform. The main objective is to increase awareness and solicit leads and partnership opportunities. Through the media attention and various tech tours, we were able to secure a few partnership opportunities in markets that we previously had no reach to. The exposure and returns were good, we will definitely be back next year!
Repeat exhibitor, Rakesh Sabharwal, Founder, MobiQuest Solutions, also shared, MobiQuest has been participating in CommunicAsia for past six years and exhibiting at CommunicAsia has been a complete pleasure. Every year we look forward to launch our new products and services at CommunicAsia as it provides us the best platform with right audience and superlative coverage.
