Vislink and our Markets

Vislink Group provides secure communications to its customers, whether designed to get video pictures of a cargo hold back to the bridge of a ship, or news back to the studio, or the results of surveillance to security authorities, or the view of a motor race from the driver’s cockpit.

Vislink operates in attractive market sectors which are growing and are relatively resilient to the economic cycle. This is because the majority of our products represent capital purchases by our customers whose own operations depend critically upon what we supply to them.

The Group’s companies have consistently built their markets by winning the loyalty of its customers through the innovative ways in which they supply their customers with secure communications.

Vislink has now been organised into four international Business Units, each of which will be focused on providing secure communications to the customers we serve. These are:

• News & Entertainment (which comprises the electronic news gathering and entertainment activities of Link, Advent and MRC)
• Law Enforcement & Public Safety (which combines the surveillance systems activities of Link, MRC, Advent and PMR together with our defence activities)
• Marine & Energy (which builds on the current Hernis business)
• Services (which combines the services businesses of MRC, WTS and Advent)

The Business Units are responsible for all aspects of sales, marketing and customer care, to ensure our customers have what they want when they want it. They are each responsible for their revenues and operating profits.

The Business Units are supported by two operational divisions:

• Vislink Technologies is responsible for forward technology strategy of the Group. It designs and develops products to meet the requirements of our customers.
• The Business Units will source their products through Vislink Logistics, which is responsible for the sourcing of materials and products in the most cost-efficient way for the Group.
