The CAI ’ s Evolving Connectivity Returns For 2017
The UK ’ s national show for signal reception and connectivity hosted by the CAI returns for 2017 at the National Motorcycle Museum on April 26 .
Installers who ply their trade mainly in the signal reception and connectivity sectors have experienced interesting times since the end of the digital switch-over adjusting to a new market place .
To offer insights and support , the CAI has lined up a series of keynote speakers for this year ’ s show .
After a welcome and introduction by the CAI ’ s Chairman , Les Hampson , TrustMark ’ s chief executive , Simon Ayers will deliver his overview of where he sees TrustMark positioning itself following the government report on consumer standards and charters .
Next up will be Freeview ’ s marketing director , Owen Jenkinson , who is keen to debunk the latest thinking on the Internet and mobile devices dominating future TV viewing habits . Owen will talk about the growth in viewer numbers for TV via an aerial , but also include Freeview ’ s plans for a ‘ hybrid future ’.
Owen will be followed by Kate Macefield 700 MHz project director at Digital UK . According to Ofcom , between 140,000 and 270,000 homes are estimated to be affected when existing services migrate to new spectrum area . How the affected viewers across the UK will be helped through this process will doubtless involve CAI members . Kate will deliver an update on how the strategy is evolving .
