About AXON Axon is one of a rare breed of technology pioneering companies. Over 25 years, from its base in the Netherlands, it has grown to become a global leader in broadcast network infrastructure products and solutions. Axon is active and growing on every continent. It has regional offices in Brazil, China (Beijing and Shanghai), Germany, Russia, UAE (Dubai), Singapore, UK and USA. Also, it has an extensive network of specialist systems integrators that work with many of the world’s leading broadcasters on every continent. For a quarter century, Axon has invested in a global distributor network that supports its operations with value added services and enterprise operations. An almost obsessive focus on customer support and a very consistent product strategy over this time has generated a list of very loyal customers that would be the envy of any technology vendor. What sets Axon apart from other technology vendors? The 25 years of Axon’s history have witnessed seismic changes in the broadcast industry: from analogue to digital, 4:3 to widescreen, standard definition to high definition, 2D to 3D, linear passive to fully interactive and now the growing trend towards multi-platform distribution, second screen applications and connected TV. Throughout all these changes, Axon has pioneered new enabling technologies in order to empower its customers. In each of its three core product areas – Synapse modular AV processing (including multiview and routing), Cortex monitoring & control system and TRACS compliance recording - Axon has delivered new levels of performance by harnessing the latest technical innovations and maintained a crystal clear focus on its customers and their needs. As a result, Axon continues to provide its customers with the capability to differentiate their products and services. For many, Axon is the difference. It understands what makes its customers’ businesses tick and it can provide solutions that are not just fit for purpose but which are uniquely adapted to the application – from live production to play-out and master control.
