CapRock Expands Its Asia-Pac Presence By Acquiring Telematika
Houston TX (SPX) Sep 03, 2004 Through its global expansion effort, CapRock Communications has extended its service offerings in some of the world's harshest and most remote regions. With the acquisition of Indonesia- based Telematika Java Duta, CapRock continues this expansion and provides increased services to energy exploration, maritime, construction, mining, forestry and government customers across Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. "The acquisition of Telematika, and the Asia Pacific market in general, represent a significant growth vehicle for CapRock," said CapRock CEO Peter Shaper. "Having a large and experienced technical service presence in Indonesia enables us to extend our offerings to an increasing number of customers in this underserved market. This move demonstrates CapRock's commitment to its expanding customer base in the region." Telematika has more than 15 years experience providing satellite, microwave and other telecommunication services to remote energy, mining and government customers across Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. Telematika was the first company to introduce very small aperture terminal (VSAT) satellite-technology-based services to Vietnam, with similar services provided in Australia, Thailand, Bhutan, Indonesia and the Philippines. As part of the stock purchase deal, the Telematika management team will stay on to run the Asia-Pacific region for CapRock Communications. The company's engineering and technical staff, which currently includes more than 100 employees, is the key asset for supporting new and existing customers. Telematika's Jakarta-based teleport facilities will become CapRock's new base of operations in Asia and will be augmented by CapRock's existing regional facilities in Honolulu and Singapore. This acquisition rounds out CapRock's privately owned and operated telecommunications infrastructure, which also includes international teleports and operations centers in Houston; Aberdeen, Scotland; and Macae, Brazil. "CapRock has a proven track record of providing reliable telecommunications services to customers in hard-to-reach places and harsh environments," commented Shaper. "Telematika's approach is a perfect fit with our service philosophy, making this acquisition an excellent move for us." CapRock Communications has experienced rapid growth over the past few years, due, in part, to its continued investment in a unified global infrastructure.
