摘要

The United Arab Emirates' Yahsat satellite system has been certified for use with the U.S. Air Force's Wideband Global Satcom (WGS) global satellite communications constellation, meaning WGS terminals will be interoperable with Yahsat's Ka-band military satellite frequencies, Yahsat Deputy Chief Executive Masood M. Sharif Mahmood said March 20.The certification means that in addition to the 10 WGS satellites either in orbit or under construction, WGS users will be able to access bandwidth in a large swath of the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa covered by Yahsat.
