Thuraya selects GMV for control + flight dynamics systems for Thuraya-4 NGS

Through this new partnership, GMV’s best-in-class solutions will provide Yahsat’s Thuraya 4-NGS with an advanced, multi-mission, multi-satellite, Spacecraft Control System (Hifly) and Flight Dynamics System (FocusSuite) for greater functionality, reliability, flexibility and user-friendliness.

The Spacecraft Control System will enable secure and reliable control of the satellite throughout its operational lifecycle, via easy to use yet powerful tools provided by the system. The Flight Dynamics System will help Yahsat to improve performance and ultimately maximize the lifetime of Thuraya 4-NGS, directly improving the longer-term CAPEX efficiency for the company. GMV will also be responsible for the deployment and integration of the control center, as well as system maintenance and operator training.

The agreement marks another important milestone for Yahsat as the company continues to roll out their L-band, next-generation system, a key component of the firm’s growth strategy and commitment to bring secure and reliable mobile satellite connectivity to users across the globe.

Thuraya 4-NGS will offer optimized usage of capacity to serve more customers with improved dynamic resource allocation to optimize the network and overall service quality. Land, Maritime, and Aero customers, across multiple customer segments, including government, consumer and enterprise, will benefit from higher and constant data speeds above 1 Mbps, giving a better experience and service overall.
