Thuraya Telecommunications has been selected by Badan SAR Nasional which is the National Search and Rescue Agency for the Republic of Indonesia to improve its search and rescue efforts in the country.
The government agency will be installing a combination of Thuraya IP terminals, the
Thuraya Integrated Communications Solution from Ultra Electronics - AEP and
Thuraya NettedComms from Speakerbus to integrate its headquarters’ capabilities
with all branch offices, ships, portable units and land mobile units. This will
enhance voice and data services as well as video surveillance and interoperability on
crucial operations at sea. The Agency is comprised of the National Search and
Rescue Center, Rescue Coordination Centers and Rescue Coordination sub-division.
The contract for the initial phase has been awarded to Thuraya’s Service Partner,
PT Mega Sarana Satelit of Indonesia, and is scheduled for completion over 2014.
“Thuraya is pleased to support Badan SAR Nasional to enhance their search and
rescue operations. The combination of Thuraya’s accredited solutions running over
our robust Thuraya IP service will enable the Agency to connect their branch offices
and ships at sea to their headquarters via a private network, to communicate
instantly and securely within closed user groups,” said Robert Demers, Vice
President of Government Services at Thuraya.
Mr. Sutono, Director of Communications at Badan SAR Nasional said, “Time is of the
essence with search and rescue operations. Thuraya has demonstrated an in-depth
understanding of our needs and has been working with us to develop a bespoke and
highly reliable solution that will boost our communication needs immensely.”
“PT Mega Sarana Satelit is excited to be working with Thuraya and their hardware
vendors and solution providers to provide the services to Badan SAR Nasional,” said
Mrs. Rusidah Suhardi, President Director of PT Mega Sarana Satelit. “Thuraya has
worked closely with us on this project to understand the complex requirements of
Badan SAR Nasional and to design a complete end-to-end solution that will support
all SAR operations for years to come.”
