Link Research Singapore Expanding

Link Research is expanding its operations in Singapore to accommodate growing sales and distribution for the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.
Link\s APAC product portfolio now includes Microwave Radio Communications (MRC) electronic news gathering, portable, inter-city and IP-based microwave links; in addition to Link's own award-winning wireless camera systems encoders for standard definition and high definition broadcast.
MRC is the Vislink Group's US-based developer and manufacturer of wireless communication systems for the broadcast, defence, law enforcement and security markets.
Sue Gilks, Link's General Manager for Asia Pacific, said: "The Vislink Group has had a growing presence in Asia since 2005. This change allows us to greatly increase the support we provide to our partners and customers throughout Asia, Australia and New Zealand. By consolidating sales and support operations for Link and MRC, our APAC customers gain easy access to demonstrations, training and comprehensive technical support."
David Thomas, International Sales Manager for MRC, said: "Our first concern is to ensure continuity of support for our base of loyal customers throughout Asia. Link's technical capability is second to none and MRC will be working with Link to deliver local support in the region from the centre in Singapore. This change will lead to improvements all round, as it will bring more talent and more resources to assist our Asia Pacific customers."
Vislink Singapore is staffed by a team of sales, engineering and administrative professionals, including Mandarin speaking staff, headed by Sue Gilks. Link provides a 24-hour Technical Support Hotline for all territories in the Pacific Rim time zones, which extends to customers in the Far East, Australasia and the West Coast of America.
As a result of this change, effective January 1, 2009, the services formerly provided by MRC's product repair depot in Hong Kong will transfer to Vislink Singapore.
