A number of foreign buyers were present at the Korea Electronic Grand Fair 2010, and there were talks going on between domestic companies and foreign representatives in many of the business center booths. Rupinder Singh Sachdeva, Managing Director of Hitech Lights Limited, a company specializing in energy saving lamps, was one of the foreign buyers at the Grand Fair. "I came interested in looking for cheaper, more efficient lightings, and companies who could provide this." "IT, communications and IT security is impressive," he commented on the domestic IT industry. "There are solutions available in every business, and computers are integrated in every part of life."
Deputy General Manager Ajay Kumar Pathak of Frog Cellsat Pvt. Ltd said he was "looking for alternate suppliers with better price, new ideas and new technologies." Frog Cellsat Pvt. Ltd is a manufacturer of GSM, CDMA and 3G Repeaters in India. Currently most of the components are imported from Korea. "A duplexer used to be the size of a matchbox before we were contacted by a certain company to try their product. Their duplexer is only about a 1/4 of its size. Now we import their product from Korea, and we get better performance for a cheaper price." He also commented that "I would prefer business with a smaller telecommunication company, not someone as big as Samsung, but smaller scale."
"Vihaan is the first ray of sunlight in the morning in Hindi," Ratan Singh, Consultant of Vihaan Networks Limited explained when asked about the company. "And VNL has technology that no one has developed yet." VNL is a company specializing in Rural Mobile Network Solutions, a technology which got them various prestigious awards. Their state of the art mobile systems allow mobile solutions for poor villages in rural areas. Already implemented in India, their system has received keen interest from many neighboring countries. "Why can't we reach those rural villagers living in poverty "They have access to no power, no roads, are poor, have no education and are cut off from society, that's why. With this technology, we can allow poor people to benefit from online education, medical consulting through mobile phones and a means to communicate with the rest of the world." According to Mr. Singh "Korea is already a developed country, and like Australia, Denmark, Norway and Canada, is doing a lot to help other countries. I came here looking for companies who specialize in mobile satellite solutions so we can reach even more rural areas."
