Integrated Microwave Technologies (IMT), a leader in advanced digital microwave systems serving the broadcast, sports and entertainment markets, is continuing its commitment to the Latin American market with the appointment of Elizeu (Eli) Moraes as Regional Sales Director. Based in the Vitec Group’s local divisional office in São Paulo, Brazil, Moraes will support regional broadcast customers and work with authorised dealers and channel partners in Latin America to drive the sale of Nucomm and RF Central products, solutions and engineering services.

Moraes, along with his team of local engineers, will help provide broadcasters with quicker, more cost-effective solutions from IMT. In addition, the company recently opened a spare parts centre and post-sales engineering support inside the Brazil ofﬁce in order to help service equipment and train the regional customers more efficiently.
