To further develop its growth in key vertical markets across Saudi Arabia, Thuraya is aggressively expanding its commercial activities within the oil and gas, government and other sectors in partnership with its national service provider Farhan Commercial Company (FCC). The Saudi service provider has started a marketing campaign to roll out Thuraya’s IP solution and Thuraya XT, described as the world’s toughest satellite phone, in the Saudi Arabian market.
Saudi Arabia, being one of the largest countries and economies in the Middle East and possessing extensive oil and gas and related industries, sees many regions and remote areas remaining outside terrestrial network coverage, which reflects its high potential for satellite telecom solutions.
FCC is a large and established group with various business interests in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the region. It has been an active national partner for Thuraya in Saudi Arabia for the past seven years.
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has huge industrial and trading bases spread out throughout the country. We aim to demonstrate to these industries the capabilities of Thuraya’s expanding products portfolio which can be part of its communication solutions and operational efficiency enhancement. FCC is certainly our key partner and commercial arm to promote and deliver a range of specialised solutions to a growing client-base of vertical industries, as well as private customers,” said Thuraya’s CEO, Yousuf Al Sayed.
For his part, His Excellency Sheikh Farhan Bin Naif Al-Faisal Al-Jarba, FCC’s Vice-President and CEO of Farhan Thuraya Services, stated that a focused campaign was underway to reach every key vertical markets in Saudi Arabia, and that the growth of the Thuraya rollout had so far been “outstanding.”
