Es’hailSat and EgyptSat sign deal to expand VSAT services across MENA

The agreement builds on last year’s partnership, combining both companies’ satellite services and ground infrastructure to deliver advanced satellite and VSAT technologies.

Es’hailSat and EgyptSat have signed a multi-year satellite capacity agreement aimed at strengthening VSAT service offerings across Egypt and the wider Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Under the deal, EgyptSat will leverage satellite capacity to deliver VSAT services to its growing customer base, enhancing connectivity solutions for businesses and industries that rely on reliable communications infrastructure.

In a statement, Es’hailSat said the agreement builds on a partnership established last year, which focused on combining the companies’ satellite capabilities with their extensive ground infrastructure. The collaboration is designed to deliver advanced satellite and VSAT technologies to customers across the region.

Commenting on the agreement, Ali Ahmed Al Kuwari said: “We at Es’hailSat are delighted to sign this multi-year capacity agreement with EgyptSat, which combines the high capabilities of the Es’hail-1 satellite with the robust ground infrastructure of both companies, ultimately benefiting our VSAT customers in Egypt and the MENA region.”

He added: “Our satellite services remain dedicated to providing flexible and secure communications. We welcome the development of this partnership with EgyptSat and are committed to expanding our portfolio of VSAT and managed services to meet the aspirations of our key clients.”

The agreement is expected to support a wide range of applications, including enterprise connectivity, telecommunications networks, and other digital services. Both companies are also looking to deepen their collaboration beyond capacity sharing, with plans to work together on training initiatives, pricing strategies, and preferred partnership arrangements.

VSAT technology plays a crucial role in delivering high-speed internet connectivity to remote and underserved areas, making it particularly valuable for industries such as oil and gas, mining, and other sectors that require continuous, reliable communication networks.
