Al Yah Satellite Communications Company (Yahsat) and Airbus, announced the realisation of a key milestone in the construction of the Thuraya 4-NGSnext generation mobile telecommunications<\/a> system, the successful completion of its Preliminary Design Review (PDR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thuraya 4-NGS is part of a transformational programme delivering a comprehensive, new L-band ecosystem with the upgrade of Thuraya\u2019s space and ground, and\u00a0user (products and solutions) segments.Complemented\u00a0by a 5G<\/a>-ready core network,\u00a0Yahsat\u2019s newest satellite system\u00a0will ensure increased coverage and capacity, while delivering next generation mobility solutions for all customer segments, including\u00a0defence, government, enterprise and consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PDR provided a comprehensive review, validating Airbus\u2019 design approach for both the physical and functional requirements of the satellite system. It also marked an important step towards the on-schedule completion of the Thuraya 4-NGS satellite and confirmsits effectiveness for in-orbit operation.  In addition to the PDR being a major milestone in the programme\u2019s development, the achievement also demonstrates Yahsat\u2019s commitment towards transforming Thuraya and building its next-generation system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fran\u00e7ois Gaullier, Head of Telecommunications Systems at Airbus said: \u201cThis important milestone confirms the soundness of the technical design and capabilities of the Thuraya 4-NGS satellite and the huge commitment and professionalism of the Yahsat and Airbus teams. It paves the way to achieve the next milestones of this innovative programme, which benefits from Airbus\u2019 extensive know how in mobile communications, as well as our latest digital processed payload technology giving increased flexibility and adaptability over the course of its life in orbit.\u00a0Our long-term customer Yahsat can count on us, on the quality of our products and on our strong commitment to make Thuraya 4-NGS a big success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About T<\/strong>huraya <\/strong>4<\/strong>-NGS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The new system will spur the company\u2019s growth across many strategic product lines, existing and new. These include maritime, IoTand data solutions, offering a wide spectrum of unique features and the highest speeds available in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The satellite will use a large 12-metre L-band antenna and a payload with sophisticated on-board processing, facilitating flexible routing of up to 3,200 channels,along with dynamic power allocation across a large number of spot beams.Thuraya 4-NGS will provide a world of opportunities to customers, service partners, equipment vendors, and system integrators, enhancing user experience across land, sea and air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rashed Al Hammadi, Programme Manager, Yahsat said: \u201cThe Thuraya 4-NGSPDR outcome is testament to the joint dedication and talentat Yahsat and Airbus. The development of this transformational satellitesystem includes work on the platform, payload and ground elements \u2013 all exceptional in their design and performance requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In terms of what the PDR covers,we have also evaluated the satellite\u2019s subsystems, launcher compatibility, and other keyelements. It is good to see that this technical milestone completed on schedule, provides us with a high level of confidence as we transition into the next phase,\u201d Al Hammadi concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
