After supporting the UK leg of this year’s Tour de France, the wireless video transmission product company Vemotion has made its own tour. It was invited to demonstrate Vemotion to representatives of French security forces at the British ambassador’s residence in Paris on Thursday, December 4.
The event was organised by the UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) Defence and Security Organisation (DSO) staff in France, who invited 25 UK companies to the half-day exhibition. For Vemotion, this event builds on their attendance at Milipol in Qatar last month – one of the most influential trade exhibitions dedicated to international state security.
Vemotion CEO Stewart McCone, pictured, said: “Seeing Vemotion is believing, and while in France the words are a bit different (voir ce est croire), the meaning is exactly the same The Vemotion team is proud to have been invited to this event at the Hotel de Charost and we are very much looking forward to giving a practical demonstration of Vemotion’s capabilities to attendees. While much of our work is focused on civilian markets, our technology has obvious military and security applications. Milipol demonstrated there is a lot of interest in next generation wireless transmission technology in this sphere and we are sure French security forces will feel the same way.”
The event heard speeches from UK and French security, followed by the exhibition of products and services, and ending with a buffet lunch. The Thirsk-based company says it has relationship with the French Gendarmerie and is now expanding into Middle East markets.
Stewart McCone added: “It is all frenetic at the moment but very positive news for Vemotion and UK business in general. It’s too easy to forget the UK leads the field in many areas of technology and we are very proud to be flying the flag for the best of British technology and innovation overseas.”
Vemotion offers wireless video transmission for delivering live CCTV footage from almost any remote location. The technology means that CCTV cameras can be set up in isolated areas and transmit images back to a command centre anywhere; and doesn’t rely on a fast broadband connection to do so.
Stewart McCone said: “Vemotion is not just another wireless video transmission solution, but you do need to see it in action to understand why, which makes these events so important to us. Military and security events are attended by very knowledgeable people who want to see a practical demonstration and this plays to our strengths. Once seen, the system sells itself and the fantastic response we’re are getting for Vemotion at the moment is the proof of the pudding.”
The company adds that its products have been used for live video during G20 Summits and D-Day Celebrations and the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth games. Visit www.vemotion.com.
