 Addvalue has achieved a first in Asia in developing a BGAN satellite terminal.
HIGH SPEED Internet access from almost anywhere in the world?
SGX-listed Addvalue Tech is the first Asian developer and supplier of the BGAN satellite terminal that makes this possible.
The concept is so convincing that a US$1.7-billion emerging markets fund, Pytheas, is paying up to S$94.6 million for up to 51.56% in Addvalue.
Developed by Immarsat, the BGAN satellite system consists of a constellation of geostationary satellites that work with portable, lightweight, surface-based terminals about the size of a laptop.

TRADITIONALLY RESERVED as a delicacy for special occasions such as weddings, abalone is a symbol of wealth and prestige, not unlike shark's fin soup or bird's nest soup.
Now, leading onshore abalone farm Oceanus is partnering Ah Yat Abalone Group to make abalone meals affordable to China’s 1-billion population of middle-class income earners with annual income of averaging Rmb 60,000.
