GSA and GTA co-host technology workshop in Australia
April 14, 2009
The Gaming Standards
Association (GSA) and the Gaming Technologies Association (GTA) co-hosted an
important Gaming Communication Technology Workshop in Sydney to review recent changes in technology
and how Australasian jurisdictions might be affected by those changes and by
the application of GSA protocols.
The two
day workshop was attended by more than 50 technologists, regulators, suppliers
and operator representatives from around the Asia-Pacific region. A range of presentations reviewed current
technology frameworks, technology architecture contrasts and the effect and
impact of GSA standards.
GSA
President Peter DeRaedt, was pleased with the workshop outcomes. “Our objective for this workshop was
achieved” he said. “We facilitate the development
of open communication standards and want to continue to bring together all
parties worldwide. This allows us to foster a closer collaboration and help
move the industry forward. Australia
provides an important part of that global picture. GSA standards create a landscape that drives
innovation in a positive way.”
GTA’s
Chief Executive Ross Ferrar said that the attendance reflected the importance
of communications technology and the high level of interest in how recent
developments might be applied. “GSA has
achieved outstanding progress in delivering open standards to the gaming data
communications sphere. The richness of
information their implementation delivers is an increasingly vital aspect of
delivering great gaming technology and meeting our various audiences’
expectations” he said.
