 Hello and welcome to Capacity Middle East Extra powered by JSA. I'm Dean Perine of JSA and we are coming to you live from just outside the Almira ballroom in the Almira four-year at the beautiful and the luxurious even Grand Hyatt Dubai. And I am here with my new friend Mr. Emmett Somani. Emmett is the CEO of at ABS Global. Emmett, welcome to Capacity Middle East. For our viewers that don't already know, why don't you tell them a little bit about ABS Global? I'm sorry, ABS Global. That's who we are. ABS originally started in Asia, Asia Broadcast Satellite, but I think the name Global gives it away. We're now a global company. So it started in Asia, if you think about maybe 10, 15 years ago, but today we have coverage over five satellites all the way from Brazil, all the way across the Atlantic to Emia into Asia and then all the way across the Pacific. So if you consider that, we're truly a global company, but one of the smaller ones, so we're not quite the scale of the big boys out there, but we certainly have the coverage and the capacity and the uniqueness and the agility to play a big role in our industry. That might be the first time that I've heard someone say we're a global company, but not one of the big global companies, but still global nonetheless. So Emmett, why don't you tell our viewers, you're a relatively new CEO, so why don't you tell our viewers a little bit about yourself, where you came from and what's on the horizon for ABS Global? Sure. Coming at the end of the day, we talk about satellite as if it's something unique, but it is purely a part of the communications ecosystem that we have. It's either through wireless or through disguise, through satellite. So we do complete the communications ecosystem as a satellite company. My background was originally telecom. I moved into the satellite around 13 years ago, helped to build the assets, which is one of the local players here, and took on this role about six months ago because I genuinely see ABS as a unique platform. Again, we talked about global, we talked about the uniqueness, but the agility and the platform that it brings, be it the assets we have or the spectrum that we have to grow, brings a lot of opportunity to us, but importantly, when you talk about being small, we can fit in quite nicely where others are perhaps tripping up. So today what you're seeing in the industry, you hear about Starlink, you hear about the non-Geo satellites, those are absolutely there to stay and they're going to play a role. But a lot of our peers in the industry are now focusing to the new generation. We still have capacity. So where we have that capacity, we can slot in, but they're probably not going to be building big Geos. We can actually solid quite nicely, and the demand what we're seeing today is that it's picking up quite nicely as well. And you have the agility to meet that demand right now too then. Right, absolutely. I think because we are a smaller company, we can meet that demand. We have a lot of top-tier customers as well. We do genuinely have a very good customer base, but the reality is as the industry is changing, we can write those changes for our benefit and for our customer's benefit to ensure that we can grow our business. Number one, with that growth, we have good cash flows as it is, but we can generate further cash flow. That should allow us then to think about what next, be that think about new generation of technology, new satellites. We actually play a very important role in certain markets, like the Philippines or Indonesia, two examples of many where we are, again, because of our focus on certain areas, allows us to really think about how we can use that as a platform strategically to grow for us and for those nations as well. So Emmett, you have probably said the word grow or growth a half dozen times already in the conversation. Why don't you tell our viewers a little bit about what that growth looks like for ABS Global? Look, I think today we have a good runway for organic growth, just using the capacity that we have. I mentioned the demand out there is growing. I mean, at the end of the day, everyone wants more Mbps, more megahertz, whatever it is, more throughput. So that just places more demand on the industry as a whole. What we're seeing also is that there is a shift in focus towards newer generations. But they still need to be what we call hybrid networks. So we have geo working with Leo networks. And we're complementing the geo elements of that. Now, in terms of growth, organically is number one. And then from that, we should be able to then think about where next. Again, I think the industry has changed slightly, where we have to be a little bit more diligent about where we invest money in the future. But certainly that platform and that organic growth will allow us to then think about how to use the assets. And again, spectrum is important in our industry. How to use those assets to then put something, which is, I guess, the next generation of ABS into space in the years to come. Yeah, you know, Emmett, I would love to actually have this very conversation with you again like a year from now. Because I am absolutely sure there are big things in your future. But in closing, why don't you tell our viewers a little bit about capacity in Middle East? What do you think of the event so far? Well, the event's great. I mean, I think we've got a lot of our customers here, which is always good to see. Certainly a great event. And it's been a few years since I've been here. So I'm glad to be back as well. So look, it's great to bring everyone together again. We don't want to talk about COVID too much. To see real people, it's always nice. And then you can talk to them about real things. And that's always a nice thing to have. And thanks for arranging it. You bet, Emmett. Thanks for being here. We appreciate it. Thank you. You bet. And thank you viewers for tuning in. We'll see you soon.
