Thuraya Marine: Satellite Telecommunication Device

An exhibition of GItex is going on in Dubai and many major companies from all over the world are presenting their superlative technological creations. Thuraya Satellite Telecommunication Company is also there to introduce a new technological device with name of “Thuraya Marine”. The name itself tells that the device is manufactured for some sort of sea activities. It will be useful in executing search and rescue operations in distress situations carried out by seafarers. This is not first of its kind but its features make it significant from others. It is a big contribution to search operations.
The company’s high officials are also present at company’s booth to tell people about this new device. Yousuf Abdulla Al Sayed (Chief Executive Officer) and Ali Saeed Al Mazrooei (Chief Technology Officer) are also there to represent their company in that mega event. They told newsmen that if any seafarer gets lost while voyaging, he would now be able to contact control units offshore and onshore by a single pressing of button. The technology works with satellite; therefore it also doesn’t matter how far he has gone and irrespective of location. Satellite will provide exact location of vessel. It would make it possible to access the vessel through constant communication between both parties. That communication will not only be in form of transmitting signals to each other but both parties could also have a talk. The device is having stable omni-directional antenna on it. The whole system will work through a strong network between offshore/onshore control unit and distressed seafarers. 
It will render them a cost effective mean of communication in marine activities. Despite that this device is specially designed for above mentioned purpose but the company’s official also said that it can work for variety of other communication purposes also. 
Thuraya had also manufactured many innovative devices in past. One of them is its recently introduced new location-based service. The company partnered Geonix in its development. This device works with Thuraya handset. By using it, any individual can locate and see its position on map. This device also works with satellite. User can also see satellite images and aerial photography irrespective of its location in any part of the world. 
All of Thuraya products function via satellite; this means that there is no doubt about its precision. Thuraya Telecommunication Company is having other projects also to launch in communication technology world in future.
