Thuraya Debuts Greek Maritime Industry
ABU DHABI - Thuraya, an Abu Dhabi-based satellite telecommunications provider, has signed an agreement with Advanced Communications Solutions Ltd., to distribute its voice and data services to the Greek maritime sector.
The agreement enables Thuraya, which dominates the satellite mobile handset market, to expand its distribution to the home of the world’s largest maritime fleet.
Under the agreement, Advanced Communications Solutions is distributing ThurayaIP and ThurayaMarine within the Greek and Cypriot maritime sector, focusing on merchant shipping, private yachts, passenger ships, pleasure craft, military, police, government and offshore crew calling communities. Customers will access voice communications through ThurayaMarine, while data services will be provided through ThurayaIP.
Thuraya’s world class satellite network covers large expanses of water from the Europe to Australia.
Thuraya will make inroads in Greece; home to almost forty per cent of the world’s shipping fleet, in addition to the world’s largest shipping management centre located in Cyprus.
ThurayaIP’s versatile technology enables the delivery of proven and reliable broadband solutions to meet the specific data needs of maritime customers. Sleekly designed, with a compact A-5 size and transmission speed up to 444 Kbps, ThurayaIP also offers superior video streaming capability of up to 384 Kbps. Thuraya provides specialised maritime antennas for its ThurayaIP broadband solution which makes high-speed data available on board ships. ThurayaMarine is a specialised maritime solution designed for a range of sea vessels. It is a reliable, multi-purpose communication device that provides voice, data, fax and GmPRS services.
ThurayaMarine can also be supplied with a customised stabilised antenna offering access to the Thuraya network regardless of the ships’ movements. “Greece has long been seen as home to the world’s maritime sector, and represents a significant potential customer base for Thuraya’s voice and data communications solutions,” said Thuraya’s Chief Commercial Officer, Dr. Sven Rohte. “Our partnership has deep connections with key players in the Greek and Cypriot maritime communities, enables us to deliver our advanced technology, hardware and services to a significant portion of seabound vessels and fleets.
“This is a critical strategic step forward for the company as we continue to gain a foothold in the maritime sector.” Advanced Communications Solutions is a subsidiary Communications Company of an international shipping investment group involved in the maritime industry. The company has appointed United Satellite Systems EPE as its main agent.
