Astro Byond - New Generation

4th April 2012
In today's apartment or condominium environment, unified form is always will be one of the agenda in
any discussion beside security. To have a unified form would mean to have an outlook of the place where it would be nice to look at rather then a place where everything look disorganized.

One of the facilities we have that can be catergorized as unified form is our centralise Astro system.
We have a build in network that strecthes from the top of the building till the lowest floor that houses our units. Meaning, by having only one dish to cater to all needs, we can avoid having a cluttered outlook of Astro dishes sticking out from our building. With this, many of the resident will able to enjoy our beloved channels from Astro without worrying about how the Astro dish would impact the outlook of the building but then, this does not come without a price.


For centralized system, any upgrade of device or system would mean catastrophy to the building setup itself.
Replacing the system in the building would means having the entire device setup to be replaced with a brand new one. Since the launch of Astro Byond a couple of years back, this has been a topic with our utmost priority.

When we went to inquire about the changes need to be made to upgrade to Astro Byond, a couple of years back, the feedback was not really something that we look forward to. A payment of RM80,000 would need to be made to Astro to replace this centralized System of ours and thus, this has been considered as not a feasible move for our resident's organization. But then again, there were not much of a demand for Astro Byond at our place either and with this, it has not been a major issue with us.

Lately, Astro Byond has gain popularity among the residents and the management has started an inquiry into the process again and this time, we have gotten ourselves a significant best response so far but then again, it does not means we we will get it cheaply as well. The negotiation between us and Astro ended with a term that, Astro will replace for us our centralized system for free if we would be able to get 30% of the residents to subscribe to Astro Byond before the installation.

And thus, we are on the verge of diseminating the information around our apartment to get people to sign up and if we are able to get the amount needed, then that would be great. We would save RM80,000 on this alone.

With this, I humbly urge all those residents who alrady subscribe to Astro Byond or about to subscribe or plan to subscribe, please proceed to the lobby area to sign up by filling up the form at the notice board, in front of Management Office.

We would appreciate your help on this.
