Global Invacom Receives Approval for DCSS Generation LNB from Leading U.S. Equipment Provider

London, 19 October 2016 - Global Invacom Group Limited ("Global Invacom" or "the Group"), a satellite communications ("Sat Comms") equipment provider listed on the Singapore Exchange and the U.K. AIM Market, today announces that it has received approval for the supply of its new generation of Low Noise Block ("LNB") products from its largest customer ("the Customer"), a leading satellite equipment provider in the U.S.

The Group received formal approval from the Customer for the Eastern Arc Twin Generation 2 Hybrid ("EA Twin GenII"), which uses Digital Channel Stacking ("DCSS") technology. The EA Twin GenII is used within a 16-tuner system, which enables a simpler installation with less cabling than other systems. Global Invacom is one of two suppliers for this new generation of product to this customer.

The approval marks a significant achievement for the Group which has reported on its continued investment in the new generation LNB since 2014 and confirms Global Invacom as a leading supplier of the latest Sat Comms technology. The Group expects to deploy the DCSS technology across its range of new LNBs, benfitting those currently in design or awaiting approval, for other customers and territories.

Delivery of the new product will commence in November 2016.

The information communicated in this announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014.
