New Thuraya WE Capabilities Introduced By Thuraya + IEC Telecom

October 8, 2021

Thuraya Telecommunications and IEC Telecom are jointly introducing new capabilities for the Thuraya WE.

Enabling affordable prepaid packages for real-time communications and supplying high-end video transmissions from the field, Thuraya WE operates on Thuraya network’s uninterrupted coverage across two-thirds of the globe over MSS to address the key pain points of operations no matter where they’re located. Thuraya WE is enabling affordable, pre-paid packages for personal communication and supplying high-end video transmission from the field.

Communication credits may be offered within a corporate CSR program, and as and when the need arises, additional units can be made available for purchase individually onsite or through distribution channels in every country. When coupled with the OneAssist application (powered by DigiGone) and a hands free headset (a fully rugged device that can be attached to helmets and used with safety glasses), Thuraya WE levels up into a powerful remote management solution. Lightweight and compact, Thuraya WE is an innovative communication solution to ensure adaptability to the new levels of productivity, operational efficiency and safety requirements of today’s business environment. Empowering remote teams with dependable connectivity no matter where they’re located and access to optimized apps for corporate and welfare activities is a powerful strategy to ensure business continuity while gaining a competitive edge.

OneAssist is accessed via a high-resolution display that corresponds to a 7” tablet view. Field personnel can stay in touch with HQ, share live videos and snapshots of ongoing onsite issues, and receive technical assistance from faraway experts even in low bandwidth and hard to reach environments. This will increase operational efficiency, as well as save costs by eliminating the logistical hassle of sending a technical support team to the field every time there is a need to change a spare part or install an update.

“Our solutions are inspired by daily collaboration with humanitarian missions and remote enterprises all over the world. We know of challenges in the field firsthand, and in introducing new capabilities of Thuraya WE, we have first and foremost focused on the key pain points of operations in faraway locations. Together with Thuraya Telecommunications, we have joined efforts to bring the most affordable SATCOM connectivity to remote teams,” said Nabil Ben Soussia, CEO Asia, Middle East & CIS, IEC Telecom Group. “Thuraya WE can be used to enable a welfare program at costs comparable to GSM.”

“With Thuraya’s resilient network and wide coverage across two-thirds of the globe, Thuraya WE ensures ease of use, affordability, and efficiency,” said Jassem Nasser, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, Thuraya Telecommunications Company. “Thuraya WE is an innovative solution that expands the scope of business operations for diverse sectors to areas outside terrestrial coverage. As market demands evolve rapidly, we, at Thuraya, focus on such innovative solutions and flexible applications that keep our customers ahead of the competitive curve.”
