The satellite is working with MinFarm Tech and Global Beam Telecom to offer consultancy and tailored solutions
Viasat has announced that partners MinFarm Tech and Global Beam Telecom are to open a hub in Business Bay, Dubai (pictured), for IoT-over-satellite next month.
The IoT hub combines Viasat’s global satellite connectivity with MinFarm and Global Beam Telecom’s technological expertise. Customers can visit the hub, discuss their business needs, trial end-to-end IoT solutions and develop a tailored package for purchase.
Making tech more accessible
Viasat says this approach will remove the challenges of selecting the right solutions and make the technology more accessible by providing choice and consultation throughout the procurement process.
The offering will benefit customers in the Middle East and North Africa region, serving industries like oil and gas, utilities and water management companies.
Partner power
Andy Kessler, Vice President, Enterprise and Land Mobile at Viasat commented, “This partnership is a clear example of how Viasat ELEVATE can support innovation and new business development, bringing together experts from across the globe to expand satellite-powered offerings to a growing customer base.
“We identified MinFarm Tech and Global Beam Telecom as two strong partners with complimentary offerings and keenly supported the collaboration in Dubai. We’re looking forward to seeing the hub facilitate a surge in IoT adoption across MENA-based customers that require the clear oversight of their operations and efficiencies in the field.”
