Afternoon asas people!
We had a successful meeting with strong products market personnel to this region, Mr Emile Abi, and the matters we discussed about were as follws;
1. srt 4912 decoder will be rolled in the market soon (he had the sample though we could not test), which is a combo receiver designed specifically to tailor the demand from this part of the globe, kenya. He however stressed that it can only be supplied through the dealer's, e.g abasheik electronics, and it's us to convince him to stock those decoders. The market is still untapped thus the lowest limit to import stand at 3000 units as they are yet to hit their break even point.
2. He confirmed the availability of 150 and 240cm offset dishes which again can only be supplied through their dealers.
3. On strong lnbs, he cited the availability of single strong lnbs at Abasheik electronics already, but also confirmed availability of twin and quad models too.
4. On sensitivity of the tuners, he called his technical manager who confirmed that the sensitivity may vary between different models but it can exceed 10% difference. he said that the new 4912 has one of the best tuners.
any comments highly welcome and my colleague msonda will also say the rest.
regards!
