Thuraya Strengthens Partnership with Astrium
Services
June 18, 2013
Thuraya Telecommunications Company, Mobile
Satellite Services operator today announced a
strengthened alliance with its global service
partner, Astrium Services, the leading service
provider for satellitebased
services.
The companies have been close partners for over
13 years, whereby Astrium Services was recently
recognized for its contribution in delivering
end-to-end services and value to Thuraya’s
end-users by receiving Thuraya’s 2013 award for
“Most Customer Oriented Model”.
Astrium Services is connected to the Thuraya
network infrastructure to provide its full range
of value-added services including messaging,
prepaid cards and interconnection to corporate
networks via the Thuraya satellite services. The
recent launches of Thuraya IP+, SatSleeve and
Maritime Broadband (MBB) will
further widen Astrium Services’ commercial
footprint and reach out to a more diverse set of
customers as well as service partners globally.
Bilal El Hamoui, acting Vice President of
Distribution at Thuraya, said: “Our partnership
with Astrium Services has grown from strength to
strength over the years. Astrium Services has
demonstrated strong commitment and tremendous
support towards driving distribution of
Thuraya’s extensive product portfolio to their
global customers. We are very excited to embark
on a new journey with them to drive distribution
of the Thuraya’s voice, land and maritime
products and services to an even wider spectrum
of global customers and service partners.”
Danny Côté, head of Business Communications
Enterprise for Astrium Services said: “Thuraya’s
latest range of products is highly anticipated
by our customers. We see strong potential in
Thuraya’s SatSleeve which dramatically reduces
the entry barrier to mobile satellite
communications. We see potential growth coming
from Thuraya IP+ in the broadcast media and
government sectors, where there is a need for a
portable, lightweight terminal as well as
additional security for the people who are
working in these demanding locations.”
