A major satellite operator in Asia is moving the control of $800 million worth of equipment to its Subic facility this year.
Chief Executive Tom Choi of Asia Broadcasting Systems confirmed that the company would enhance its workforce by over 50% in two years.
With the said movement the company will also train staff for the transfer of the control operations to the Subic center from the southern part of Hong Kong.
The Subic center will be of control of the company's five satellites including ABS 1, 2, 5 & 6.
The satellites serve the firm's markets in Asia-Pacific, Russia, Africa and the Atlantic. ABS recently acquired Mabuhay Satellite Corp. of the Philippines, which operated the Agila 2 satellite, now renamed ABS-5.
Since the investment of ABS in the Philippines would be a long term, the firm is about to a hire a minimum of 20 new employees this year that would help lessen the employment problem in the country.
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co., Bayan Telecommunications Inc., GMA Network Inc. and ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. are some of the ABS’ clients in the country. [via manilastandardtoday.com] |
