Al Yah Satellite Communications Company PJSC (Yahsat), the UAE’s flagship satellite solutions provider, on Monday announced that its government division, Yahsat Government Solutions (YGS), agreed with Edge Group entity, NIMR, a leading manufacturer of combat-proven wheeled military vehicles, to line-fit pre-qualified Comms-On-The-Move (COTM) solutions on NIMR’s vehicular systems.
The agreement was announced at the World Defense Show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and builds on the two entities’ pre-existing partnership, which was formed recently at the International Defence Exhibition & Conference (IDEX) 2021 in Abu Dhabi. The MoU that was signed in 2021 allowed both entities to develop a concept design demonstrating how NIMR’s military vehicles can be equipped with Yahsat’s COTM solutions.
By pre-testing and integrating Yahsat’s COTM solutions on various connected vehicular systems, Yahsat has been able to effectively remove risks and unwanted costs associated with system integration for its customers.
Through the agreement, Yahsat will leverage NIMR’s network and existing relationship with the Government of Saudi Arabia, extending its reach while increasing customer acquisition.
