Reinforcing United Arab Emirates’ Technological Capabilities
Yahsat, the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) leading global satellite operator and Thuraya, its mobile satellite services subsidiary, will showcase their latest military and government communication capabilities at DSEI in London this week.
During the 4-day event, that has the UAE as its international partner, Yahsat Government Solutions and Thuraya will introduce a number of end-to-end solutions at booth N7-230, for mission critical operations on land, sea and air platforms.

We look forward to welcoming our partners, and exploring opportunities to enable comprehensive, future-focused systems for our government and commercial customers.”
