long-term,
multimillion-dollar
partnership
agreement
23
November
2016:
Yahsat
has
announced
the
start
of a
strategic
partnership
with
Talia,
a
market-leading
teleport,
satellite,
and
terrestrial
network
operator.
Under
the
agreement,
Talia
is
committed
to
capacity
on
Yahsat’s
upcoming
Ka-band
Al
Yah
3
satellite,
located
at
20°W
to
be
launched
in
2017,
alongside
existing
services
on
the
Y1B
satellite.
This
unique
arrangement
will
provide
Talia’s
customers
in
the
Middle
East
and
Africa
with
a
tightly
integrated
offering
and
a
tailor-made
solution
to
fit
the
changing
demands
of
their
customers.
Talia
has
also
signed
its
first
customer
on
Yahsat’s
Y1B
satellite.
The
NGO
customer
will
be
utilising
the
high
bandwidth
service
with
Newtec
MDM6000
Satellite
IP
Modems
and
integrating
the
additional
capacity
into
their
hybrid
network.
This
includes
coverage
across
multiple
satellites
and
terrestrial
fibre
-
all
provided
by
Talia.
The
addition
of
Ka-band
HTS
satellite
services
to
Talia's
portfolio
re-affirms
Talia
as a
market-leading
company
providing
hybrid
solutions,
using
appropriate
technology
driven
by
customer
demand.
Alan
Afrasiab,
Talia
President,
said,
“The
addition
of
Yahsat
to
our
coverage
builds
on
our
strong
and
growing
relationship
with
satellite
operators.
This
further
extends
our
infrastructure
and
network
operations,
enabling
the
delivery
of
protected
and
secure
communications
to
our
strategic
customers”.
Farhad
Khan,
Yahsat’s
Chief
Commercial
Officer
said,
"We
are
delighted
to
be
partnering
with
Talia
as a
long-term
client.
This
agreement
is
yet
another
example
of
Yahsat’s
growth
strategy,
which
will
be
further
enabled
by
the
launch
of
our
third
satellite,
adding
20
new
markets
to
our
existing
footprint.
We
are
thrilled
Talia
believes
in
our
cutting
edge
technology
solutions,
team’s
capabilities
and
our
commitment
to
the
delivery
of
customised,
bespoke
services.”
