A partnership between Qatari satellite company Es’hailSat, the Qatar Satellite Company, and neXat, creators of the first satellite-specific open OSS/BSS platform, seeks to improve the way managed services are accessed and delivered across the Middle East and Africa.
Es’hailSat will use the neXat platform to make it easier for its channel partners — such as licensed resellers — to purchase its managed services across the region. Es’hailSat will also benefit from improved access to resellers.
As well as managing the provision of managed services, neXat’s advanced tools will be used by Es’hailSat to manage their customer lifecycle. The platform is the first of its kind to unite the management of satcom services, customers and networks virtually.
“Our mission at neXat is to make managing and accessing satellite services easier, simpler and more cost effective. We’re excited for Es’hailSat, a major operator, to take advantage of our platform’s unique offerings to improve the access to their services across an important and growing region,” said neXat’s Senior VP APAC, Rajeev Nair.
Es’hailSat provides managed VSAT services and associated communication solutions for government and enterprises, on two co-located satellites at MENA’s orbital hot slots. Es’hailSat aims to expand its managed services offering across the region, which includes end-to-end satellite connectivity with customizable bandwidth, data volume, and SLA options, supported by hardware provisioning, network monitoring, field engineering, and 24/7 technical support. The service operates in Ku-band and Ka-band, offering high-speed data transfer and seamless integration with other telecom networks for applications like cellular backhaul and maritime communications.
“At Es’hailSat, we are always looking at ways to enhance our service offerings to deliver the satellite, teleport and managed services needed for customers across Middle East and North Africa,” added Es’hailSat’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Ali Ahmed Al-Kuwari. “We believe that the highly robust and reliable services offered by this partnership between neXat and Es’hailSat, together with our Tier-4 certified teleport infrastructure, provide a strong base needed to serve end customers and our resellers across the region.”
neXat’s platform can help managed services providers address the higher costs and lower revenue per megahertz (MHz) in the current satellite market. The OSS-BBS helps operators reduce operational expenditures as they look to increase revenues by selling their MHz through managed services.
The platform will enable the operator to centralise management of multiple hubs, reduce operational overhead, and accelerate service rollout.
