Canterbury, UK, June 25, 2020--Global Invacom, a provider of satellite communications equipment listed on the Singapore Exchange and the U.K. AIM Market, has appointed Malcolm Burrell as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO) with immediate effect.

Burrell, who is an Executive Director of the Group and Chief Risk Officer, already acts as the Technical Director responsible for Advanced Research and Development of Global Invacom and has a depth of knowledge covering the satellite industry. His additional role, managing the co-ordination of the Group’s R&D teams, along with continued dialogue between the Board of Directors and sales teams, will ensure product development is being tailored to meet requirements and match demand in key markets.

Global Invacom, which holds 71 patents and has 49 pending applications, intends to leverage on Mr Burrell’s industry experience to expedite product development amidst increased global adoption of VSAT applications even as the industry undergoes a once-in-a-decade transition to Digital Channel Stacking Switch (“DCSS”) technology.

He has been an Executive Director of the Group since 2010 and his first-class understanding of the technologies behind Sat Comms equipment has been instrumental in our ongoing R&D and will ensure that we continue to launch market-leading products to meet the demands and requirements of our customers."
