Qatari satellite operator Es’hailSat – Qatar Satellite Company has announced a strategic partnership with neXat, creators of the first satellite-specific open OSS/BSS platform, which will improve the way managed services are accessed and delivered across the Middle East and Africa. Es’hailSat will use the award-winning neXat platform to make it easier for its channel partners - such as licensed resellers - to purchase its managed services across the region. Es’hailSat will also benefit from improved access to resellers. As well as managing the provision of managed services, neXat’s advanced tools will be used by Es’hailSat to manage their customer lifecycle. The platform is the first of its kind to unite the management of satcom services, customers, and networks virtually.
“Our mission at neXat is to make managing and accessing satellite services easier, simpler, and more cost-effective. We’re excited for Es’hailSat, a major operator, to take advantage of our platform’s unique offerings to improve access to their services across an important and growing region,” said neXat’s Senior VP APAC, Rajeev Nair.
Es’hailSat provides stop-of-the-line managed VSAT services and associated communication solutions for government and enterprises, on two co-located satellites at MENA’s orbital hot slots. Es’hailSat aims to expand its managed services offering across the region, which includes end-to-end satellite connectivity with customizable bandwidth, data volume, and SLA options, supported by hardware provisioning, network monitoring, field engineering, and 24/7 technical support. The service operates in Ku-band and Ka-band, offering high-speed data transfer and seamless integration with other telecom networks for applications like cellular backhaul and maritime communications.
“At Es’hailSat, we are always looking at ways to enhance our service offerings to deliver the satellite, teleport, and managed services needed for customers across the Middle East and North Africa,” said Es’hailSat’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ali Ahmed Al-Kuwari. “We believe that the highly robust and reliable services offered by this partnership between neXat and Es’hailSat, together with our Tier-4-certified teleport infrastructure, provide a strong base needed to serve end customers and our resellers across the region.”
neXat’s platform can help managed services providers address the higher costs and lower revenue per megahertz (MHz) in the current satellite market. The OSS-BBS helps operators reduce operational expenditures as they look to increase revenues by selling their MHz through managed services.
The platform will enable the operator to centralize management of multiple hubs, reduce operational overhead, and accelerate service rollout. neXat has been recognised by two award wins so far this year: the World Teleport Association’s Teleport Technology of the Year Award, in March, and the SatellitePRO Middle East Best Next-Gen Satellite Application, in May. The OSS-BSS seamlessly integrates operators’ different hubs, simplifying operations, and brings multiple operational and business support systems together in one place to save operators time and money. It can also be used to offer customers new and better services, including traffic shaping, bandwidth optimization, and VNO services.
