Iridium Satellite has signed agreements with five service providers to sell its services to customers in the Middle East. The agreements will enable the providers to sell Iridium services to industrial and government markets in remote areas where no other form of communication is available.
“We have entered into agreements with several service providers in a range of countries, selected on the basis of their successful vertical market communications sales history and commitment to provide outstanding after-sale support and customer care to Iridium customers,” said Vice President Channel Management of Iridium, Ted O'Brien.
The industries served by Iridium's service providers include maritime, oil and gas, military, remote construction, non-governmental organization/relief, yachting/leisure and government.
Iridium's Middle East Service Provider network includes NASCO - a Saudi Arabia based company providing communication solutions for the government, offshore oil and gas industry.

Through a constellation of 66 low-earth orbiting (LEO) satellites operated by The Boeing Company, Iridium delivers communications services to and from remote areas.
