"Our focus remains on constant innovation within the industries we serve as we increase our presence around the world," said Paul Shen, CEO, TVU Networks. "Our latest solutions were designed with our customers' needs in mind even as we were committed to developing reliable, efficient and effective IP video technology. In addition, we were able to deliver world-class customer support throughout the year whenever and wherever we were needed." Shen added: "We are carrying the momentum we gained this year into all aspects of our 2018 product, services and technology development. And as we continue to help our customers meet their challenges and needs in IP video in 2018, we will also continue to expand the TVU brand globally." TVU Networks was recognised with numerous industry awards for its new products this year. TVU Networks provided essential support this year to its customers during a wide variety of events, from Super Bowl 51, NFL regular season coverage, and racecar driver Devin O'Connell's live race streaming, to Kenya and South Korea's presidential election coverage, and Hurricane Harvey coverage by Texas-based broadcasters in the midst of the storm. With a commitment to global expansion, the company welcomed several new personnel to its sales team in places like Thailand, Australia, Germany and Korea. To better serve its growing customer base as TVU continued to experience worldwide company growth, the company expanded its sales team across the globe. 2017 saw TVU Networks introduce several new products, including an award-winning new version of its flagship TVU One mobile IP newsgathering transmitter that features H.265/HEVC video compression standard support; TVU Router, which delivers highspeed Internet connectivity remotely; TVU Transcriber for AI-based audio to text transcription and TVU TimeLock for wireless, remote production.
