Videoswitch since 1987 is in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing, deploying and marketing professional video and audio systems, addressing the needs of network cable operators and MSOs, broadcast television stations, production companies, etc.
Our mission is to bring the best quality/price ratio, guaranteeing technical support and assistance, as well as making mid- and large-scale custom solutions.
Since 2002 we have decided to expand our market to the whole Latin America. For example, we have deployed our systems in Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Uruguay, Chile, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Panama, Dominican Republic, and of course, Argentina.
Every year since then we have exhibited our products at the following shows: Andina Link (Cartagena de Indias - Colombia), Encuentros Regionales (Rosario, Salta, Tucuman, Corrientes, Mendoza - Argentina), CAPER (Buenos Aires - Argentina), Jornadas ATVC (Buenos Aires - Argentina), CANITEC (Mexico), Andina Link Centroamerica (Central America), ACORCA (Cordoba - Argentina), Digital Fiber (Venezuela), Tepal (Panama, Punta Cana - Dominican Republic) and in this way we have continued until today taking part in these shows. |
