UAE-based satellite operator Yahsat said on Wednesday the company had entered into 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 degree W, to be launched in 2017, alongside existing services on the Y1B satellite.
The 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.
Talia has also signed its first customer on Yahsat’s Y1B satellite. The NGO customer will utilise the high bandwidth service with Newtec MDM6000 Satellite IP Modems and integrate the additional capacity with its 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 its position as a market leader, providing hybrid solutions through appropriate technology driven by customer demand.
