Dubai: Three service providers have recently signed commercial partnerships with ThurayaThuraya
- the leading satellite telecom company.
"These partnerships, which further widen ThurayaThuraya's distribution platform, are aimed at promoting and selling the diverse portfolio of ThurayaThuraya communication products in the region," the company said in a statement yesterday.
ThurayaThuraya, the world leading mobile satellite operator, recently provided coverage to the Asia Pacific market.
Its services include cost-effective mobile hand-held telephony, rural telephony, broadband, maritime and fleet management solutions.

handheld telephony and ThurayaDSL. The signing of this agreement will ensure easier access to ThurayaThuraya's voice and broadband services. The second agreement is with regard to the appointment of a national service provider, and was signed with Japan Digital Communications, a leading satellite solution provider in Japan.
