Thuraya's Atlas IP+
A major maritime trade show in Greece will host many companies including Thuraya Telecommunications Company and its long-standing service partner, IEC Telecom. Together they will showcase Thuraya’s maritime product portfolio and provide a preview of the latest Thuraya maritime VSAT service at this year’s international shipping exhibition, Posidonia 2018, in Greece from June 4-8 at booth 1.213.
Visitors will have the opportunity to engage with senior executives from Thuraya and IEC Telecom who will be available to answer questions about Thuraya’s new VSAT service and terminal that are due to be launched later this year. On display will be a wide range of products from Thuraya’s maritime portfolio including the Thuraya Orion IP broadband terminal, the SF2500 voice satellite terminal and the newly launched Thuraya Atlas IP+ (see photo at right).
Easy to install, Thuraya Atlas IP+ offers managers and crew seamless access to the internet, enhanced connectivity, and high-speed onboard efficiency with best-in-class data rates, as well as driving operational efficiency.
The terminal features a single cable connection to the stabilized antenna, direct bulkhead mounting, and built-in Wi-Fi. Through its RJ11 port, it can be connected to any standard analog or cordless phone. This allows for simultaneous voice and data sessions. The voice calls run via the Thuraya Talk VoIP app, lending a cost-effective service option.

Ricky D’Souza, Manager, Market Development Maritime, Thuraya, said that the growing demand for data in the maritime sector coupled with other requirements such as crew retention, remote offices, remote monitoring and maintenance has pushed them to develop their VSAT service. They look forward to meeting their valued customers to give them a sneak peek of their new dedicated VSAT+ terminal that provides communication support for a wider range of applications.
Nabil Ben Soussia, Managing Director at IEC Telecom Middle East, added that they are pleased to partner with Thuraya at Posidonia 2018. With the expansion of Thuraya’s maritime portfolio into the VSAT market, they have even more of a selection of high-quality equipment and services to offer customers — vital equipment that keeps crew connected with family and friends while away at sea.
IEC Telecom Group works in close collaboration with Thuraya Telecommunications Company to offer solutions in maritime. Its long partnership resulted in the successful launch of Orion Edge in 2016 as well as FlexiYacht in 2018, a unique internet broadband solution designed specifically to meet the requirements of leisure boats.
