Eutelsat Group has extended its partnership with Universal Satcom, the Dubai-based satellite communication system integrator.
Eutelsat and Universal Satcom have been collaborating for some time, and this recent multi-year deal will enable Universal Satcom to leverage Eutelsat’s Geostationary ADVANCE maritime packaged solutions in Ku-band to extend its coverage in MENA and globally.
Reema Al Omari, Chief Executive Officer of Universal Satcom, commented: “Universal Satcom is well established in the MENA region where we offer support to ships that provide services to large barges or oil rigs. These markets demand the highest level of service that we can provide to our clients, thanks to Eutelsat’s solution. We have been working with them in the past and are glad to have the opportunity to expand this partnership in the future.”
Cyril Dujardin, Co-President of Eutelsat Group’s Connectivity Business Unit, said: “Unrestricted maritime connectivity is essential for oil and gas companies, with vessels transporting these resources around the world. We’ve been working with Universal Satcom for a few years and are honoured by the trust they put in our high-quality service.”
