Flexible
Dual-Mode Technology
Thuraya offers quality dual-mode terminals that offer satellite and GSM connectivity. This flexibility ensures continuous and cost-effective roaming for users. Essentially, Thuraya subscribers would continue using their national land-based mobile network, but will be able to automatically switch to Thuraya satellite mode in areas that are outside the terrestrial system.
Another advantage is that outside Thuraya’s coverage area, subscribers would still have the convenience of roaming in other GSM networks areas. This combination of advanced and flexible system designs ensures reliable, global mobile services to subscribers.
