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.
The first agreement pertains to the appointment of Hong Kong Satellite Communication International (HKSCI) as an international service provider (ISP).
HKSCI has a long tradition of specialising in satellite terminals and will be responsible for the distribution of ThurayaThuraya 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.
They are focusing on marketing ThurayaThuraya's SO-2510, which is also known as the world's smallest satellite phone.
In addition, Japan Digital Communications will be promoting ThurayaThuraya's SG-2520, the world's smartest satellite handheld phone.
Users of the SG-2520 can use both GSM and satellite networks allowing ubiquitous coverage at all times.
The third agreement was signed with AA Techneq (M), a company headed by veterans in the Malaysian Mobile Satellite Services market.
They will be a national service provider marketing the full range of ThurayaThuraya products except for the maritime solution.
"Asia Pacific has multiple purposes for satellite communications such as oil and gas, mining, manufacturing, agriculture, maritime sectors and emergency relief during disasters," Yousuf Al Sayed, ThurayaThuraya's chief executive, said in a statement.
