Thuraya conducts intensive training at Pacific Endeavour 2017

Thuraya Telecommunications recently attended USPACOM Pacific Endeavour 2017, hosted by the Global VSAT Forum, GVF, in the United States, where it presented an intensive training workshop on critical satellite communication technologies for first responders and military experts from 22 participating Asia-Pacific countries.

The event focused on communications inter-operability exercises that facilitate emergency cooperation and relief response between nations and humanitarian NGOs during times of disaster.

Thuraya’s workshop was designed to educate teams on its top-class 'satcom' capabilities for military deployment in disaster management missions. The training emphasised how satcom solutions can be integrated for swift critical communication needs and showcased an array of Thuraya products.

Fahad Kahoor, Thuraya’s Director of Market Development who led the company’s efforts at Pacific Endeavour 2017, said, "This exclusive gathering served as a crucial setting for knowledge exchange and fostered an effective collaboration between participants and presenters alike for an international humanitarian response."

He added, "For Thuraya, it was the perfect opportunity to gain exposure and engage in relationship-building activities and focused sessions with high-value customers - more so than at exhibitions. Here, we met directly with decision makers and got to portray our unique capabilities to be their go-to emergency service partner."
