Doha, March 31 (QNA)- Es’hailSat, the Qatar Satellite Company, and EgyptSat have signed multi-year satellite capacity agreement for EgyptSat to provide VSAT services to their customer base located in Egypt and spread across the Middle East and North Africa region.

In a statement, Es’hailSat explained that this agreement follows from the partnership signed last year between both companies to leverage the combined satellite services as well as the wide ground infrastructure of both companies that brings with it the latest technologies in satellite communications and VSAT technology.

President and CEO of Es’hailSat Ali Ahmed Al Kuwari said, “Es’hailSat is delighted to enter into this multi-year capacity agreement with EgyptSat that combines the high-powered Es’hail-1 satellite and ground segment strength of both companies in the best interest of VSAT customers across Egypt and the MENA region.”

“As the satellite operator of choice for commercial, government and defense customers across Qatar and the Middle East & North Africa region, our satellite services remain available to provide resilient and secure connectivity. We welcome this growth in the partnership with EgyptSat and continue to grow our VSAT and managed service portfolio for such key customers,” he added.

This partnership stands to benefit a diverse set of customers across applications such as VSAT communications, enterprise connectivity, telecommunications, and other digital services. The two companies extend their cooperation with each other into areas such as training, pricing, and collaborating with each other as preferred partners.

VSAT is a satellite-based solution that provides high-speed internet connectivity in remote areas and is considered an ideal solution for companies that require continuous connectivity, such as oil platforms and mining sites. (QNA)
