Satellite+GSM+GPS
Satellite
Thuraya’s satellite service enables you to make and receive calls from anywhere in 99 countries over three continents, and in places that are not covered by local terrestrial telecom network.
If you wish to call some person, and you are out of the local network, your satellite call will be sent up in space to Thuraya’s satellite, then relayed to the Thuraya primary gateway, which will check the subscriber’s details and authorize the call connection.
GSM
Thuraya provides a satellite telecommunications platform based on GSM which enables the Thuraya system to support roaming as defined by GSM and necessitates the establishment of roaming links with all GSM operators worldwide. This coordination allows GSM subscribers to use the Thuraya network whenever they roam into Thuraya footprints, and give Thuraya direct customers access to use other GSM networks.
With Thuraya’s roaming capabilities, GSM subscribers will no longer suffer from ‘No Service’ whenever their home GSM operator service fails because they will switch automatically and be able to roam on Thuraya’s network.
GPS
A global positioning receiver, such as the one used in the Thuraya terminal functions by using coordinates between the receiver and a set of satellite, to provide information, and address, on the physical location of the phone user anywhere on the globe. Presently the most widely used location determination technology utilizes the benchmark Global positioning System. The system, an array of twenty-four satellites, which orbit the globe, sends out a continuous stream of signals to the surface of the earth that enables the receiver to determine its position.
Essentially GPS provides everyplace on earth with its unique address. Its applications are almost limitless-vessels, delivery vehicles, emergency fleets, taxis, planes, surveying operations and many more.
GPS is also used a navigational tool, a compass, to help you venture in unmapped or unchartered areas. Wirth the help of GPS you will know exactly where you are at any time of the globe. Thuraya’s GPS is capable of 100 mete accuracy. For the service Providers this technology means maximum billing tracking capabilities that ensure the smooth operation of service.
