Expansion into the Satellite TV sector through landmark licence deal with Arab Media Corporation
Simon Woodward, CEO of ANT, commented:
"We are pleased to report steady progress in the traditionally weaker first half of the year, achieving revenue and unit shipment growth against a backdrop of challenging economic conditions. The highlight of the period was the signing of the landmark licence deal with Arab Media Corporation, ANT's first tier one satellite TV operator. Such evidence of the growing interest in our Galio products from mainstream TV operators, combined with the support of our extensive customer base, gives us confidence in the continued positive development of the Group."
