Thuraya Telecommunications, an international mobile satellite services provider, has just introduced its adaptor called Thuraya SatSleeve designed to deliver satellite connectivity to Apple’s iPhone.
A little bigger than the iPhone, Thuraya SatSleeve is intended to be a compact adaptor that aims to provide easy and affordable access to mobile satellite communications over the Thuraya satellite network. As such, it will enable users to keep in touch via voice and text, something that terrestrial networks that have limited coverage cannot do.
Speaking about the recent launch, Thuraya CEO Samer Halawi noted, “The launch of Thuraya SatSleeve represents a major milestone and a game-changing innovation in the satellite industry. This is the first consumer friendly mobile satellite phone ever launched, which dramatically increases the reach to satellite telephony for enterprise, government, and everyday consumers alike. It provides iPhone users with a versatile and highly affordable means of conducting phone calls and sending SMS via satellite from the world’s most remote locations."
