THE VISION ACCOMPLISHED STORY

Vision Accomplished was founded in the 1980s by broadcast engineer and technical writer Craig Landis. Craig served on the Contingency and Restoration Committee for Olympic Games, coordinated worldwide concert broadcasts, and handled satellite uplinks for network news and sports. He and his company built a reputation for always having state of the art equipment and redundant electronics. Vision Accomplished provided broadcasters with technical support all over the world. Clients included ABC, HBO, CBS, NBC, FOX, Turner Sports, ESPN, MTV, PBS, Fuji-TV, NHK, BBC, CBC, Telemundo and many more.

Craig and his staff had many years of experience operating mobile satellite uplink units, trained other technicians, and operated a variety of mobile Ku band and C band satellite uplink systems of their own. The company grew steadily, and earned awards from satellite owners for providing outstanding ground system service to broadcast, cable and business television networks worldwide.

In the 1990s, Craig moved to Hawaii. He and his team designed specialized uplink systems to cover news, sports and special events on all the Hawaiian Islands. Vision Accomplished Hawaii was among the first US companies authorized by the FCC to utilize privately owned international satellites like Pan Am Sat, JCSat and Mabuhay, in addition to Intelsat. This enabled the company to provide Asia/Pacific countries with direct one-hop service to and from Hawaii. Craig is also an author, IT systems specialist, and currently is the Hawaii and Asia/Pacific regional engineer for a major broadcast network.
