Thuraya has introduced a new antenna for the marine environment, for use with the ThurayaDSL satellite system.
The antenna is manufactured by Spacecom, a Danish-based technology partner for Thuraya, and can be purchased as a stand-alone option, or as a fitted accessory to the ThurayaDSL terminal.
Thuraya says that the new antenna will be able to offer broadband services under any weather conditions, and is configured to always be pointing towards the satellite regardless of ship's movement and position.
The company has already been preparing to launch an advanced marine product that offers voice, fax and SMS sometime in the next few weeks, and believes that an enhanced ThurayaDSL offering will help to ensure a strong presence in the entire maritime communications market.
Thuraya's coverage area includes seaways such as the Arabian Gulf, Red Sea, Mediterranean, Arabian Sea, North Sea, and Baltic Sea, as well as substantial parts of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and international waters in most of the Asia-Pacific.
The viability of Thuraya's maritime communications system has also been strengthened the successful launch of a new satellite, Thuraya-3, in January of this year, following delays to the planned launch at the end of 2007.
