DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Monday, December 15th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
Thuraya
Telecommunications Company, a leading Mobile Satellite Services (MSS)
operator, today launched the industry’s best-value satellite phone,
Thuraya XT-LITE. The entry-level satellite phone provides users with
instant satellite connectivity at an unbeatable value. The Thuraya
XT-LITE is built to make phone calls and send SMS messages in satellite
mode anywhere under Thuraya’s comprehensive satellite network.
Rashid
Baba, Director of Products at Thuraya, said: “Thuraya XT-LITE addresses
the demands of users who need a simple satellite phone for work or
travel in areas unserved by terrestrial networks. People need to stay
connected no matter where they go and we will provide them with the most
reliable and cost-effective way of doing this.”
“We are proud to
deliver a market-driven satellite device for the casual user, which is
built on the legacy of our pioneering innovative handsets such as the
Thuraya XT and SatSleeve,” said Alexander Lachner, Senior Product
Manager, Voice Services at Thuraya. “With the XT-LITE, we aim to dispel
the outdated perception that satellite phones are only made for
enterprise or government users by addressing a currently untapped
segment. The addition of Thuraya XT-LITE facilitates a dual phone
strategy whereby Thuraya continues to offer our existing flagship
product, the Thuraya XT for the professional, enterprise segment, and
the Thuraya XT-LITE for the casual value users.”
Thuraya XT-LITE
allows users to enjoy ubiquitous coverage in most remote areas that are
not served or are under-served by terrestrial networks. The device also
works as a security backup for people who are located in remote areas
where natural disasters can render terrestrial communications
unavailable. Thuraya XT-LITE can be used across the Thuraya network
covering more than 160 countries or two-thirds of the globe. It can be
used either with a Thuraya SIM card or a SIM card from any of Thuraya’s
360 worldwide GSM roaming partners.
Thuraya XT-LITE is available
at Thuraya Service Partners from December 15, 2014. For more information
