Vice-president for RFS

Global wireless solutions group, Radio Frequency Systems (RFS) has announced the appointment of Fred Rees to the key position of vice-president, sales and marketing for RFS Asia Pacific.

Based in Singapore, Rees' role encompasses RFS wireless communications and broadcast sectors, with responsibility for marketing and marketing communications activities in China, North-East Asia, South-East Asia, Japan and Australasia.

The Asia-Pacific region represents a stimulating challenge, Rees said, not just because it is one of the fastest growing wireless markets in the world, but because of its sheer diversity and accelerated rate of change.

"On the one hand, there are countries such as Japan, Australia and Singapore with very sophisticated and mature data and 3G wireless markets; on the other hand there are fast-developing nations, such as Vietnam, Indonesia Philippines, and of course China, where they are often "leap-frogging' the landline stage and going directly to "over the air' RF communications, for voice and high-speed data," Rees said.
