Mobile Satellite Services
(MSS) leading operator, Thuraya, has introduced its SatSleeve product; the world’s
first and only satellite adaptor for the iPhone, which provides
access to users’ favourite applications, electronic mails (emails) and instant
messaging.
Shereen Hanafi, Director of Communications, Thuraya,
disclosed this to ITRealms, saying
that the SatSleeve not only allows users to make
phone calls and send Short Messaging Service (SMS) via Thuraya’s satellite
network, it also enables them access to emails, as well as popular social media
and instant messaging apps such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and WhatsApp
among others.
Thuraya SatSleeve,
according to Samer Halawi, Chief Executive Officer of Thuraya, affords users to
now post news updates, chat via messaging apps with their contacts as well as send
and receive email from the most remote locations in satellite mode. The device can
be used across Thuraya’s extensive satellite network with coverage in over 140
countries.
, said: “The new release
of the SatSleeve, which now includes data, underscores our commitment towards delivering new and innovative
mobile satellite products. Thuraya is powering ahead
of the competition with our strong product innovation strategy focused on
making satellite communications more accessible and user-friendly. Users today are
increasingly relying on their smartphones to stay connected and we strongly believe
in listening to them and to their requirements as we develop new mobile satellite products that
align with their needs.”
Thuraya SatSleeve enables
users to enjoy ubiquitous coverage even in the most remote environments that
are not served or that are under-served by terrestrial networks. The device also
serves as an important mobile communications device, in addition to being a
security backup for users that are operating in remote locations and in areas
where natural or man-made disasters can render terrestrial communications
unavailable.
The SatSleeve customers, he highlighted include corporate users, enterprises from
all industries, explorers, mountaineers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Just as
SatSleeve could be used across the Thuraya network either with a Thuraya SIM card
or with a standard GSM SIM card available from 356 worldwide GSM operators
across more than 160 countries, from September 10.
"This makes the Thuraya SatSleeve highly
flexible with the ability to be suited to the users’ individual needs," official says.
