of satellite wholesaler and distributor MEGASAT has a rather prag-
matic approach to those questions. “We are right in the heart of

The name of the place is Niederlauer, which is a small town
north of Schweinfurt in northern Bavaria. As a matter of fact,
if you look up Niederlauer in Google Maps the marker pops up
right in the centre of Germany.

receivers. Inhis
hand is theflagship
product, abox from
theHD-Box series.
There’s a large industrial zone in the
northeastern portion of the Czech Re-
public. There you’ll find large amounts
of ore that can be turned into iron;
there are also quite a few rivers that
supply water power as well s a large
expanse of forest for its enormous
supply of building m ria s. Because
of all this, an enormous steel works
factory, the „Třinecké Železárny
(Třinec Steelworks)“ came into exis-
tence 170 years ago in the city
of Třinec. This city currently has
40,000 inhabit nts and everywhere
you look you can see fabrication sys-
tems with their superstructures and
interconnecting pipes.
One of these pipes, an exterior
heating pipe, passes just a few cen-
timeters away from manufacturer and
wholesaler SAPRO’s building.
But SAPRO doesn’t interfere with it
at all, rather, this heating pipe goes
perfectly with this company: compo-
nents for satellite receivers have been
desig ed and developed here since
1992. It’s a perfect match for the in-
dustrial atmospher here. SAPRO’s

First the USA,
then the world
Wholesaler and Manufacturer, USA
RobbyDosetarehis the very young founder andPresident
of satellitewholesaler andmanufacturerWS International.
Herewe seehim inhisPacoima,Californiaoffice located
northofLosAngeles thatheopened justone year ago
Robby Dosetareh patiently built up
his company WS International one
small step at a time. He’s
and since he has already brought his
company quite a long way in the USA,
his expansion to the rest of the world
shouldn’t have any obstacles. In July
2010 he opened a 2nd distribution
branch & offices in the small town of
Pacoima, California in order to make
it cost efficient for customers in the
Western part of the USA and Canada.
That’s where we met up with Robby
Dosetareh. He explains to us how it all
began.
Robby Dosetareh was born and
raised in Shiraz, Iran. But his father
was watched and mistreated by the re-
gime at that time.WhenRobbywas ten
years old, the family had
an opportunity to flee the
ntry, first to Pakistan
and then for a few months
to Austria. The UN acquired
all the necessary paperwork as
well as the required visas and fi-
nally in April 1992 the family arrived
in their land of their dreams – USA.
hey ended up in A
ia on
the US east coast.
Young Robby came to a new world,
a place where it’s normal to get a free
glass of water in a restaurant. The
teenager quickly acclimated himself to
his new surroundings. After graduat-
ing from High School, he immediately
joined the work force. Since he was al-
ways interested in electronics and tele-
communications, he accepted an offer
from a DishNetwork dealer and began
working there as a Sales Manager.
After a fewmonthshis father became
illandRobbyDosetarehhad tohelphim
communicate with the doctors; his fa-
ther’s English wasn’t good enough. Un-
fortunately, his time off from the Dish-
Network dealer was getting too much
and towards the end of 2000 the dealer
had to let him go. Robby Dosetareh

came to the conclusion that this would
never happen to him again: to be in
charge of his wn time he had to start
his own company. He then started as
a dealer for DishN twork and installed
customer satellite systems. After a few
months though he realized how dan-
gerous this business was: DishNetwork
only paid the dealers when the custom-
ers paid DishNetwork. All of the risk
was in the hands of the dealers, a risk
that was difficult to calculate.
Robby Dosetareh decided that there
was no future in this! Since he had al-
ready sold systems and components to
installers in the past, he decided to be-
come a satellite wholesaler. “On April
1, 2001, I founded WS International”,
remembers Robby Dosetareh. Robby,
who actually had no business experi-
ence or background, was very coura-
geous in this decision and had at the
same time a little foresight: the WS in
the company name stands for “World
Satellites”.
But the “World” in his company name
also stands for the business field that
he selected for his co pany. Since the
satellite reception of English-language
programming in the USA is generally
monopolized by DishNetwork and Di-
recTV, Robby looked around at other
TV programming. As a native from
Iran, the obvi us choice was foreign
language programming for the ethnic
minorities living in the USA. There are
several of these groups that want TV
programming in their own language.
Robby Dosetareh provides an overview
on thesegroups: “Inmy case of course,
the first group would be TV channels in
Farsi, after that it’s programming in Ar-
abic, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Rus-
sian, Armenian as well as the English-
language Christian channels.” Most of
these TV channels, many of which are
produced locally in the USA, can be re-
ceived for freeand thusmakea very in-
teresting product to offer these ethnic
groups here in the USA.
Robby got right to work. From Mari-
etta, Georgia, a small city near Atlanta
with 100,000 inhabitants that he now
calls home, he managed to become the
number one satellite dealer in just a
short time thanks to his extensive mar-
keting. “In 2002”, remembers Robby,
“WS International sold roughly200 sys-
tems a month.”
Over the years sales numbers in-
creased steadily and one day, not sur-
prisingly,hedecidedheno longerwant-
ed to be dependent on other importers
and started up his own production line
with the help of an office in Guangzhou
in southern China. “Today we produce
LNBsaswellas75cmand90cm satellite
dishes ourselves”, comments Robby. In
2009 his own receiver line that Robby
named Lexium was also added to the
palette. There’s even a website under
this name:
“In
2010 we sold roughly 30,000 DVB-S re-
ceivers”, says Robby and then explains
that a DVB-S2 variant of this receiver
will be available by the time this issue
of TELE-satellite hits the newsstands.
Since 2010 Robby has built up his
product palette to the point that any
component that an installer could pos-
sibly need can be obtained from him
under his own label. “This includes
dishes as small as 75cm to as large as
4.5 meters”, lists Robby, “and in ad-
dition to cables and receivers, all the
necessary accessories such as DiSEqC
switches.” He even has satellite signal
analyzers. “Ourmodel5100 Pro can au-
tomatically recognize the satellite that
a dish is pointing to”, highlights Robby
and then continues,” The model 7100
Pro was designed especially with the
professionals in mind.” And there’s still
more: “Soonwe’llbe introducing an ad-
justablemonoblock LNBwithwhich you
can set theoffsetanywherebetween4°
and 10°. For installers we’re preparing
a toolbox that will contain all the tools
needed to install our products.”
How is Robby doing all of this? He
started WS International in Atlanta
(more preciselyMarietta). There are six
employees in the 4600 square foot of-
fice/warehouse: “Two sales managers,
a technical support manager, an assis-
tant as well as two employees in the
warehouse”, explains Robby. To better
serve his customers on the west coast,
Robby opened a branch office in Paco-
ima, California, near Los Angeles. Not
long after that he decided to move out
to LosAngeles himself. “Since then I go
back tovisit theAtlantaofficeevery two
months for one week”, says Robby. He
is proud to say that he has employees
inAtlanta that canoperate thebusiness
without him having to constantly look
over their shoulders.
The branch office in Los Angeles is
5000 square feet in size but only has
three employees: Sales Manager Jo-
seph Bassala, who Robby can speak to
in Farsi, Shipping Manager Jeff Bynum
and a warehouse employee. “We also
have one more employee in our Guang-
zhou, China office who takes care of
production and overseas transport”,
adds Robby.

BYA’sproduction facility
AinElBia eastofOran in
geria
The 16,000 squaremeter production
ant can be found in the city of Ain
Bia. This city, with 20,000 inhabit-
ts, is located about 35km east of the
cond largest city in Algeria: Oran with
ughly 1.6 million people. The Port
rzew harbor is right next to Ain El Bia;
is is where Algeria’s national oil com-
ny Sonatrach loads its oil tankers.
And this is the first reason why Sli-
ane Ait Yala is confident that the
shes he manufactures will be suc-
ssful in the export market: “Algeria is
oil-producing country”, he explains,
nd that means that the energy costs
Algeria are very low.” He follows right
ay with the second reason: “Wages
Algeria are also very low; the official
inimum wage is about 100 Euros.”
Aside from that, the necessary
etal for their dish production is pro-
ced domestically. All of these rea-
sons together make for
quite an argument that
exporting his dishes is
a go d move to make.
Slimane Ait Yala: “I
was just at the Canton
trade show in south-
ern China and found
out that our prices
are competitive.” And
there’s still another
reason: BYA is not a small
company; they produce
quite a few other products
and thus have plenty of experi-
ence as a manuf

about eight million Euros.” BYA was at

Perforated
Dishes from
Algeria
AlexanderWiese
Dish andReceiverManufacturerBYA,Algeria
With a new series of satellite dishes
made out of perforatedmetal, Algerian
manufacturer BYA Electronicwants to
start an export offensive. Are there
reasons to expect success in the strongly
contested satellite dishmarket? Itwon’t
be easy for BYA, but there are several
reasonswhichwouldmake one optimistic.
Slimane Ait Yala, founder of BYA, gives us
the reasons for this optimism.

BYA’sproduction facility
inAinElBiaeastofOran in
Algeria
The 16,000 squaremeter production
plant can be found in the city of Ain
El Bia. This city, with 20,000 inhabit-
ants, is located about 35km east of the
second largest city inAlgeria:Oranwith
roughly 1.6 million people. The Port
Arzew harbor is right next to Ain El Bia;
this is where Algeria’s national oil com-
pany Sonatrach loads its oil tankers.
And this is the first reason why Sli-
mane Ait Yala is confident that the
dishes he manufactures will be suc-
cessful in the exportmarket: “Algeria is
an oil-producing country”, he explains,
“and that means that the energy costs
in Algeria are very low.”He follows right
away with the second reason: “Wages
in Algeria are also very low; the official
minimumwage is about 100 Euros.”
Aside from that, the necessary
metal for their dish production is pro-
duced domestically. All of these rea-
sons together make for
quite an argument that
exporting his dishes is
a goodmove tomake.
Slimane Ait Yala: “I
was just at theCanton
trade show in south-
ern China and found
out that our prices
are competitive.” And
there’s still another
reason: BYA is not a small
company; they produce
quite a few other products
and thus have plenty of experi-
ence as amanufacturer.
BYA was founded in 1993. Back then
SlimaneAitYala isGeneralManager (PDG:PrésidentDirecteurGénéral)and
founderofBYA.BYAactuallygets itsname from thenameof the location:AinElBia.
Biawas converted toBYA.
Thomson still existed in France and
BYA started off as an assembly line for
Thomson’s TV sets. Not long after that,
they began assembling analog satellite
receivers followed shortly thereafter
by digital receivers. “Back then we had
90 employees”, remembers Slimane Ait
Yala, “and we had sales equivalent to
about eight million Euros.” BYA was at

Boiingsat’s founder
andGeneral
Manager
this third plant, Boiingsat was in control
of every aspect of production; th y nly
needed the SMD components which they
w ntoutandpurchased. In2010produc-
tion capacity reached 500,000 C-band
LNBs and just as many Ku-band LNBs. A
fourth factory should begin operations in
2013 which would then raise the capac-
ity of Ku-band LNBs to a staggering on
ion a month.
Of course, we want to know where
all these LNBs are going to. “In the
beginning, we delivered our production
onesia and Thailand”, explains
of Ku-band LNBs looks quite a bit differ-
ent.
“Ourprimarymarket forKu-band LNBs
is the Middle East. In 2010 60% of our
Ku-band LNBs were shipped to Dubai,
15% went to North Africa, 5% to South
Africa with the remaining 20% going to
North America, Australia and Europe.”
But in 2011, Jason Chiang sees these
numbers shifting considerably: “The
North African market will pick up quite
a bit; we expect to ship 30% of our total
production there, 45% will go to the
Middle East, 5% to South Afric , 10% to
Brazilwithanother10%going to the rest
of the world.”
Once againBrazil ismentionedbut this
time in connection with Ku-band LNBs.
Jason Chiang revealed a little secret: “I
have good contacts in Brazil.” That along
with the steadily increasing demand in
that South American country makes for
a very attractive market.
It’s common knowledge how prices for
LNBs have been falling considerably and
when General Manager Hoawen Chiang
Hoawen Chiang to us. These two coun-
tries still received the bulk of their deliv-
eries in 2010: 40% of their production
went to Indonesia and 30% to Thailand.
20% went to Brazil with 10% going to
other countries like South Africa, Dubai,
Russia, Singapore as well as Malaysia.
Wh n we heard him mention Brazil,
our ears perked up. “We’ve been deliv-
ering C-band LNBs to Brazil since 2004
but demand has recently taken a strong
jump upwards”, revealed Hoawen
Chiang, “In fact, for 2011 we’ e expect-
ing that 35% of our LNB production will
be delivered to Brazil.”

revealed his sales figures, a tendency in
that direction was clearly visible: “For
then he surprised us with his prognosis
for 2013: “We expect sales to jump to
such an increase in sales, could it? “Well,
actually, we’re expecting this increase in
sales also because we’re expanding into
a new business sector; in 2012 we’ll be
opening up a new factory for LED lights.
In 2013 we expect that 30% of our sales
will be from LEDs with the rest coming
from LNB production.” OK, now the pic-
ture is getting clearer.
But back to LNBs. Sales Manager Jason
Chiang tells us that in 2009 70% of all
the LNBs shipped were single models. In
2010 that number dropped to 50% and
it will obviously continue to sink. Single
LNBs will cease to exist in a few years.
Twin models made up 35% of the total
in 2010; the rest consisted of quad and
octo models.
The time has come for new models.
Jason Chiang gives us some insight:
“In the second quarter of 2011 we’ll be
releasing a Ku-band LNB with a shorter
housing, for the thirdquarter there’llbea
Ku-band LNB with only two rings instead

LNB Manufacturer Boiingsat operates
multiple production facilities in Zhuhai,
China, a citywith 1.5million inhabitants
located in western Guangdong Prov-
ince.Zhuhai sits right next toMacao and
slowly but surely is attractingmore and
more satellite component manufactur-
ers.
But one of the first of thesemanufac-
turerswasBoiingsat; it has been in exis-
tence since 1997. However it all really
started in Taiwan. Hoawen Chiang, Gen-
eral Manager of the company who was
also born in Taiwan, explains to us how
it all began.
“In 1996 I was a Production Manager
at an LNB manufacturer in Taiwan. But
things didn’t go exactly as I had planned
so in 1997 I along with three investors
founded Boiingsat in Zhuhai, China”,

OneofBoiingsat’s three factories inZhuhai insouthern
China;soon it’llbe four factories.Thecompany’s
administrationoffices canalsobe foundhere.
remembers Hoawen Chiang. “Two of the
investors have in the meantime moved
on to other things but investor, Yunnjye
Qin, is still here and is in charge of Pro-
duction.”
The main reason for moving from
Taiwan toChinawas obviously the costs.
Wages in China are still lower than that
of Taiwan. “Butwe still have a smallR&D
office in Taiwan with three engineers”,
says Hoawen Chiang. Thus far the tech-
nical expertise in Taiwan is somewhat
more advanced than in Mainland China
at least as far as high frequency LNBs
are concerned.
“Back thenwe startedwith30 employ-
ees and produced 20,000 C-band LNBs
every month”, he says looking back. In
2002 Boiingsat started a second produc-
tion plant which they used tomanu-
facture 240,000 C-band LNBs
everymonth.
2004 became rather tur-
bulent: “We sold our first
production facility and
then built a new one for
Ku-band LNBs.” Now
with 500 employees,
production
climbed
to 350,000 C-band
LNBs per month and
150,000 Ku-band LNBs
permonth.
The next expansion
step took place in 2008:
“We constructed our third
factory this time for produc-
tion of die-cast housings.” With

In 2005 the European Union entered into an
agreementwith the Democratic Peoples Republic
ofAlgeriatosupporteconomiccooperationbetween
the two. This agreement provides an interesting
opportunity for satellite receiver manufacturers
and, in the case of the Algerian Bomare Company, also
for TV manufacturers. Actually, Bomare Company produces both products. For 2011
Bomare Company has decided to take their products and service capabilities to the
European market. We paid a visit to
Bomare Company’s production facility
in Birtouta, about 20km from Algiers,
and had a look around.

Saturday).
The industrial city of Birtouta is very
conveniently located: the airport, harbor
and numerous highways are all within
easy reach. It is an excellent location
especially for a company that wants to
expand its export business.
It all started many years ago with
the distribution of satellite receivers.
The founder, Ali Boumediene imported
receivers from South Korea and sold
them locally. But for him it wasn’t
enough: one day it dawned on him that
he could assemble these receivers on
his own production line. Together with
a South Koreanmanufacturer that sup-
portedhimwithnotonly the components
but also the “know-how” in setting up an
assembly line, Ali Boumediene started
hisownproduction in2001.Back then20
employees assembled digital receivers
using the supplied components. Today
Bomare Company has 120 employees.
Right from the start Ali Boumediene
had a great idea: he chose the brand
name “Stream System” for his line of
receiver products. An excellent choice
considering that in today’s IPTV age
everything revolves around streaming.
But lets get back to the beginning:
in 2003 Ali Boumediene took the next
expansion step. He created his own
production line for power supplies and
then in 2006 he took onemore step by
investing two million Euros and install-
ing an SMT line in a new production
facility complete with automatic compo-
nent mounting machines and an oven.
Bomare Company also owns a unit of
plastic injection and silkscreen painting
Technical Director Tewfik Lamrani
gives us some insight into their pro-
duction numbers: “From 2001 to 2007
we produced a total of threemillion SD
receivers.”
Production numbers dropped every
yearbecauseof theever-increasing com-
petition with imported receivers. But Ali
Boumedienealsomanaged tofinda solu-
tion to this: he simply started a second
assembly line to produce TVs. “We are
especially proud of our LCD TVs with
integrated DVB-T tuners”, commented
Tewfik Lamraniwhose five-member R&D
team developed this TV. “Now we also
manufacture HD TVs”, says Tewfik and
explains why now is the right time to
begin exporting their products: “In the
past several years we learned how to
start a production line.”
The old adage holds true: “You learn
from your mistakes”; Bomare Company
hasacceptedallof the setbacksandover
time has become a professional manu-
facturer.
“Now we have the right products and
now we know how tomake them”, says
Tewfik Lamrani, “And now the time has
come to start exporting.” Bomare Com-
pany isnotonlygoing toexport theirown
products such asHD receivers and LCD-
TVs in various sizes from 19” to 47”, but
theyarenow ready tobecomeanOEMor
ODMmaker for othermanufacturers and
distributors primarily in Europe.
Tewfik Lamrani gives us a few reasons
why Bomare Company with its location
in Algeria would be a good choice: “We
are in the same time zone as Europe,we
speak the same languages (French and
English), we can ship economically to
Europe, we provide a high-quality prod-
uct and our production follows the RoHS
directive and just recently also the Euro
1Norm.”
The subject of quality control is espe-
cially critical for the exportmarket: “Five
engineers are directly involved with
quality control during production (pre-
production) and five additional engineers

on the rise: now about 450 employees work
at Prevail. But for 2011 Necy-xu is extremely
excited: “The number of our employees will
climb to over 500 and we also expect a jump
in sales.” Prevail is actually optimistic that

prefer to tackle this on their own. This is not

clean the entire factory is; nothing is out of place. Another small
detail are theuniforms that the employeeswear. It’snot out of the
ordinary to see workers on an assembly line wear uniforms, but

becomes immediately clear that the work here is very disci-
plined and organized. And of course the products themselves
would also be associatedwith this high standard.
To confirm this we paid a visit to the three manufacturing
plants and had a look around; a fourth factory is currently
under construction.
Necy-xu isGeneralManager Sales&Marketing and provides
uswitha littlehistoryabout the company: “Prevailwas founded
in 2001 byManagingDirector XuQuanhai alongwith ten other
partners.” The company is in private hands and continues to
manufacture the same product groups that it did at the begin-
ning: fiber optic products, CATV components and accessories
as well as distributors and splitters for coaxial cable lines.
Necy-xu remembers the early days: “In our first year 2001
we had sales of roughly 50million RMB (5million Euros) with
about 100 employees. 70% were domestic sales and the rest
were exported.”
For 2010, however, this changed considerably. Necy-xu
revealed to us that now only 50% of their products are sold
domestically in China; exports have increased markedly. To
what countries and regions does Prevail export to?
Helen is Prevail’s International Sales Manager and tells us,
“40% of our exports end up in the south Asian region and this
includes India, Pakistan, Indonesia, The Philippines, Thailand
and Vietnam. 30% land in South America, 20% go to Europe
and the rest go to TheMiddle East,North America and Africa.”
Necy-xu adds that sales in South America have picked up
quite a bit and that Prevail is shippingmore andmore products
to that region: “The cable TV providers there are expanding

significantly andwe have exactly the right products for them.”
Exports to South America look to sharply increase for 2011,
but Eastern Europe is also rapidly on the rise.
Prevail achieved sales of 200 million RMB (roughly 20 mil-
lion Euros) in 2010. The number of employees has also been
