On 11 January Richard Paniguian Head of the UKTI Defence and Security Organisation met Martin Saunders the Sales Director of Excelerate Technology who exhibited two command and control vehicles in the BIS forecourt.

Excelerate Technology is a UK market leader in the provision of Video/Voice/Data and Internet over Satellite and Wireless solutions on board a variety of vehicles and within a growing range of market sectors. The company has also been a pioneer in the development of highly competitive satellite broadband pricing plans, allowing budget conscious emergency services, government agencies and others to introduce satellite broadband systems to improve performance and save money.

The aim of the visit was to brief UKTI DSO desk officers on the company capabilities and export plans prior to Security and Policing 2012, to further develop the relationship between UKTI DSO and a very well regarded and innovative SME, to inform the wider UKTI of their capabilities, and to brief other sector teams.

Richard Paniguian Head UKTI DSO said:
“I am delighted that Excelerate Technology was able to bring this innovative technology to brief UKTI staff on an important capability that is suitable for emergency services and crisis management situations. We are always keen to support companies wishing to export and I and my teams will do all we can to help promote this technology in overseas markets”
