SAILAS’s new value-added services embrace three key areas, including Video Streaming Service, Antenna System Solution and Enhanced Out-of-Band Management solution.
AsiaSat will be back at CABSAT to introduce to the MENA region a number of new initiatives from the operator. In March, it announced plans to expand SAILAS’s end-to-end managed connectivity service for the maritime sector with a wide range of value-added services that will further increase operational efficiency and safety for vessel operators, and enhance the communication and entertainment experience of crews and passengers on board.
This new initiative marks an important step towards strengthening AsiaSat’s capability in delivering end-to-end managed services to support the digital transformation of the maritime sector. The new value-added services will include the addition of a video streaming service to SAILAS’s portfolio of metered and non-metered data service plans, out-of-band management (OBM) and all-embracing antenna system solutions, establishing a complete service network crafted to address the requirements of all maritime sub-verticals including fisheries, merchant shipping, passenger boats, yachting, as well as oil and gas.
Raymond Chow, Vice President – Business Development & Strategy, AsiaSat, said: “We are excited to bolster SAILAS’s end-to-end solution offerings with enhanced value-added services, enabling clients to enjoy optimal operational efficiency and provide more diverse entertainment and communication services to their customers. This is achieved through synergising our space and ground solutions with technologies from some of the best-of-breed solutions and service providers. As we continue to build strong partnerships with other technology providers to make SAILAS an optimal choice for the maritime community, we also look for opportunities to collaborate with different channel partners who want to create additional new value and service models for their customers.”
