“I am excited to announce a strategic investment in ‘One Click Go Live’, which will be an excellent complement to AsiaSat’s growing portfolio of video services to meet new and evolving customer demands in the digital age. This once again confirms our commitment in creating synergies and augmenting our capability in delivering the most diverse and innovative video solutions that will benefit our customers,” said Roger Tong, Chief Executive Officer of AsiaSat.
Mr. Tong continued, “Accelerating digital transformation has changed the way people consume contents and thus the way broadcasters and corporates connect to their audiences. Global live streaming from ‘One Click Go Live’ will offer our customers the flexibility to expand into the rapidly growing direct-to-consumer business model, especially in micro markets with good terrestrial infrastructure. Nevertheless, our core satellite-based services will remain the most reliable and cost effective solution for clients to reach a broader, ‘macro-level’ segment of great diversity such as the Asian markets which have included some of the world’s most unconnected and hard-to-reach regions.”
