Futurecom 2024, Latin America’s leading connectivity and technology event, provided an exceptional platform for technology launches and networking, bringing together more than 33,000 visitors in a vibrant space of innovation and collaboration. Held between October 3 and 5, the fair brought together 800 speakers and 250 exhibiting brands in a 25,000 m² space, showcasing innovations that are shaping the future of the industry.

Innovation and Strategic Relationships

This year, Futurecom stood out not only for the innovations that were presented, but also for its exceptional ability to attract a wide range of industry professionals. Engineers, field technicians and high-level executives from major operators and ISPs were present, which significantly enriched the event. The significant presence of operators allowed for in-depth and productive discussions on the integration and enhancement of connectivity solutions used in day-to-day operations. These direct interactions between manufacturers and end users have led to a more detailed understanding of market requirements, facilitating the development of more aligned and efficient products to meet specific industry demands.

Market Outlook with Gustavo Vecchi

Gustavo Vecchi, Datacom’s sales director, shared his vision of Futurecom’s impact on the industry. “Datacom participates in several trade shows throughout the year, which attract providers of all sizes. However, Futurecom stands out for attracting mainly large operators and providers, creating an excellent opportunity to discuss large-scale solutions,” explained Vecchi. He mentioned recent launches for the corporate IT market, such as the DM-AP6x0 line of Wi-Fi 6 equipment and the DM1105E, DM1205E, and DM1305E LAN switches. Vecchi also highlighted new products that demonstrate Datacom’s alignment with future market trends. Among them is the DM4780 16CX+8DX Core 400GE Switch, designed for high-performance networks, demanding high bandwidth and low latency. Additionally, Datacom presented expansions to its server line, with the DM-SV01 and DM-SV04 models, ideal for hyperconvergence applications and high-capacity storage. These servers are designed to serve companies that require robust storage and processing.

Another highlight was the DWDM DM4900 system (DCI Datacom), a solution for data center interconnection (Data Center Interconnect). Essential for operators and large providers, this product facilitates high-capacity connections between geographically distant locations, promoting efficiency and reducing operating costs.

Global Competition and Future Vision

The growing presence of international competitors was a recurring theme at the fair. "The intense participation of international manufacturers in the event is an indication of the dynamism of the market and the importance of a proactive strategy on the part of national manufacturers such as Datacom to continue innovating and strengthening our position", highlighted Vecchi. This trend underscores the ongoing need for innovation and adaptation in a globalized market.

Futurecom has proven to be a pivotal event for Datacom, not only to showcase innovations but also to solidify relationships and better understand market dynamics. As we look to the future, participation in Futurecom 2025 is already an unmissable opportunity to continue the company’s trajectory of growth and innovation!
