Unveiling Innovation: POYNTING's SWIRL Antennas at SMM!

SMM Hamburg, the leading international trade fair for the maritime industry, took place in September and the POYNTING Europe team was proud to launch the SWIRL Antenna at this event.

Since its inception in 1963, SMM evolved into a vital platform for networking, innovation, and discussion of industry trends, attracting around 40,000 participants from over 120 countries and featuring more than 2,000 exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge technologies and services.

After extensive preparation by all parts of POYNTING we were thrilled to present this innovative solution to attendees. "We were proud of our teams that worked so hard to bring to market a product that definitely exceeded our customers' expectations," said Tjeerd Huitema, Managing Director at POYNTING Europe GmbH.

One of the highlights of SMM was witnessing partners actively promoting POYNTING's products. Many partners brought their own customers to the booth, demonstrating their confidence in selecting the best solutions for their projects.

This collaborative spirit underscored the importance of partnerships in driving success within the maritime sector.

Highlights and VIDEO from MINExpo 2024

In September, we had the opportunity to attend MINExpo International 2024 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, where the energy of the mining industry was truly electrifying. Our team, including Juan Potgieter, Jeff Oberlin, and Matt Bouren from POYNTING Inc., was joined by Ernst Coetzee and Pieter Prinsloo from South Africa to showcase our robust antenna solutions specifically designed for mining operations.

We exhibited alongside our partners Digi International and Novotech Technologies. Digi International specializes in secure connectivity solutions that enhance operational efficiency and safety across various industries, including mining. Novotech Technologies is known for its innovative technology solutions that improve communication and data management in challenging environments.

The event, organized by the National Mining Association, highlighted the critical need for reliable communication in both open-pit and underground operations. Engaging with attendees eager to discuss their communication challenges allowed us to demonstrate how our innovative technologies could effectively address these issues.

Our participation at MINExpo 2024 reaffirmed our commitment to enhancing connectivity in remote mining operations, where underground communication systems are vital for safety and productivity. Reliable connectivity is essential for secure voice communications and tracking equipment and personnel.

A specialized antenna can make a significant difference in these challenging environments. We invite you to view some photos from the event and watch the video interview with Pieter Prinsloo to see our innovations in action.

Alwyn Bester, Sales Account Manager at POYNTING Antennas, attended GITEX GLOBAL that was held at the Dubai World Trade Center in Dubai, UAE. This premier technology event gathered innovators, industry leaders, and tech enthusiasts to showcase advancements in sectors like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cybersecurity. 

It provided a dynamic platform for networking and knowledge-sharing through keynote sessions and workshops focused on digital transformation and the future of technology.

Alwyn represented POYNTING at the Etisalat Arena where he also met with Carlos Henriquez from DIGI and Vincent Dcruz from Celerway Communication to showcase our cutting-edge 4G and 5G marine solutions. This included our latest antennas, the SWIRL-8 and EPNT-4, which ensure reliable and seamless connectivity in challenging environments.

The SWIRL offers high-gain performance and operates across a wide frequency range from 617 MHz to 7200 MHz. Its robust design allows it to withstand harsh conditions, making it ideal for various vessels and mobile platforms. With features like dual polarization, the SWIRL can deliver double the data rates compared to traditional antennas, enhancing connectivity wherever it's deployed.
