HP LeeManaging Director, Teleplex Solutions Sdn Bhd.
“In Malaysia, connecting the last mile for rural areas remains a challenge for both government and enterprises, due to having to deal with difficult terrain when laying fiber cables. Partnering with Transcelestial means that we can offer a solution that enables total wireless connectivity using laser communications to reach out to the previously unreached, and also provide a less-costly alternative for fast connectivity in urban settings.”

Mash KhanCEO, LinkQuest FZCO
“The UAE currently faces two essential communication hurdles: spectrum congestion and network outages. Transcelestial wireless laser comms offers the best solution to address these head-on, being spectrum-free and not susceptible to fiber-related downtime. Partnering up means we can offer a less costly, time-saving alternative to customers whose connectivity plans are delayed by fiber cuts or right-of-way issues, often caused by fiber cables that can take months to resolve.”

“
Hendra LesmanaCEO, NTT Indonesia Technology
“Network-connected device types are multiplying, bringing important implications for the ecosystem of wired and wireless technologies, products, and services that will provide a foundation for tomorrow’s digital economy. This creates new demands for connectivity. Our new partnership with Transcelestial will combine the best of advanced technology and services and help our clients in Indonesia achieve secure and high-speed connectivity to fuel their innovations and gain competitive advantage.”

Batmunkh KhurelbatCEO, BestComputers
“Transcelestial’s wireless laser communications fills a gap for our customers who need an alternative to fixed-line infrastructure. This partnership with Transcelestial diversifies our portfolio offerings to ensure that we can truly uplift all Mongolians who lack access to high-speed connectivity.”

Jason KhuaGeneral Manager, Synetcom
“Campus environments face scaling challenges when trying to improve the quality of connectivity between buildings that are far apart. Currently, organisations only have two viable options – the first is deploying fiber cables which comes with a dollar and time cost to set up, the second is radio frequency-based solutions which are subject to interference from other channels and they lack security assurances. With Transcelestial’s technology, organisations get the best of all worlds – performance, quick to deploy and cost-effective, and without having to sacrifice quality connectivity for security.”

Tony SoGeneral Manager, Cyber On-Air
“Always-on connectivity has become more important than ever and solutions like Transcelestial’s offers a very strong value proposition for Cyber On-Air’s customers. We were impressed by the performance of their wireless laser technology, which also catered to environmental conditions specific to Hong Kong’s market, like monsoon seasons.”
