Thuraya Planning To Wade into Maritime Broadband Market in 2014

摘要

Mobile satellite services provider Thuraya Telecommunications reported an 11.5 percent increase in revenue for the first three months of 2013 compared with a year ago and will provide a maritime broadband product by early 2014 to compete directly with rival Inmarsat's Fleet Broadband, Thuraya Chief Executive Samer Halawi said May 16. The product, which does not yet have a name, has faced multiple delays in part because of issues with Thuraya's previous equipment manufacturer and has left the Dubai, United Arab Emirates-based company largely outside the high-growth maritime market.
