Who We Are

Thuraya delivers satellite communications that keep critical operations connected worldwide. As the mobile satellite services division of Space42's Space Services business unit, Thuraya provides reliable voice and data connectivity across industries including energy, government, maritime, and humanitarian aid.

Global reach defines Thuraya's value. The company's satellite network covers nearly two-thirds of the world, spanning over 150 countries across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Two operational geostationary satellites anchor this coverage, supplemented by VSAT services and smooth integration with ground-based networks.

Purpose-built technology serves demanding environments. Thuraya's satellite-enabled handsets and broadband terminals combine dependability with ease of use. These solutions work seamlessly with existing communication systems, ensuring compatibility across different networks and devices. Commercial and government users rely on this equipment in mission-critical situations where standard cellular coverage fails.

Established partnerships extend global access. Founded in 1997 as the UAE's first national satellite operator, Thuraya now serves customers through more than 140 distribution partners worldwide. This network ensures local support and availability across diverse markets.

Thuraya enhances Space42's growing multi-orbit spacecraft fleet, delivering on the commitment to keep people and operations connected anywhere, at any time.
