PRIORITISING SERVICE EXPANSION TO SUPPORT CUSTOMERS’ RAPID GROWTH
Ali Al Kuwari, president & CEO, Es’hailSat
As Qatar’s satellite operator of choice, Es’hailSat has been serving broadcasters, telecoms companies, enterprise and government customers for the past 11 years from our headquarters in Doha. From our perspective, the media industry has transitioned from being an entertainment service that people sat back and received to becoming an information source that people step forward and consume. Key to this has been the all-pervasive internet connectivity and content delivery via a choice of medium, whether it be satellite broadcasting or IP streaming over 4G/5G and fibre. For our business, the priority over the next 12 months is to expand our services to support the rapid growth of Qatari customers across the board. The sky is the limit for Qatar’s ambitions, and Es’hailSat wants to ensure that we are the first choice for companies in Qatar and across the region wherever there is a need for connectivity over satellite.
“Satellite, cellular and fibre telecommunications have become the backbone of the economy”
We are keeping a close watch on the latest advancements in technology, including cloud playout services, content delivery networks (CDN), mobility and telecommunication services. In addition, our fleet of two satellites, Es’hail-1 and Es’hail-2 at 25.5/26 East hotspot, is now bolstered by an expansion of services delivered from our teleport in Doha. For our customers, including pathbreaking
broadcasters such as Al Jazeera and beIN Sports, opportunities lie in delivering every possible genre of content to consumers across all touchpoints. These touchpoints include TV at home, mobile devices on the

Vitec has enhanced its position in IP video streaming with the acquisition of the Flamingo hospitality and enterprise video delivery business of Anevia from Ateme. This builds on Vitec’s core enterprise IPTV business and, coupled with the purchase of Exterity in April, positions Vitec as a leader in enterprise and hospitality IPTV.

move, and internet connectivity over land, sea or air. Es’hailSat is enabling these opportunities by adopting cutting-edge technology and delivering a world-class service from our aforementioned teleport facility in Doha. The past two years have seen the world wake up
and realise the importance of healthcare after the onset of Covid-19. However, internet connectivity has also become a basic need for survival, no matter where you are. Both businesses and individuals have realised that their sustenance would not have been possible had it not been for the ability to log in to their workplaces or stay connected with family and friends via every available means of connectivity. Satellite, cellular and fibre telecommunications have become the backbone of the economy, and governments worldwide are investing in infrastructure to ensure that their populations remain connected irrespective of location.

The acquisition builds on Vitec’s strong position in IPTV
Ateme only acquired Anevia in 2020, looking to grow its IPTV and OTT offerings by combining its video compression systems with Anevia’s expertise in content
delivery. However, when Vitec bought Exterity in April 2021, it saw an opportunity to combine the hospitality and enterprise components of the Anevia
business with Vitec to expand its offering in the enterprise and hospitality markets. As Ateme and Vitec have an existing business partnership, they were able to
Vitec, said: “This acquisition is a statement of our commitment to expanding our reach in the enterprise and hospitality markets. Anevia is especially strong in the hospitality sector in Europe and the Middle East, and we value its experience in these regions greatly as we seek to develop our presence.” He assured existing Anevia customers that they will continue to receive the same levels of service, plus new platform innovations from Vitec. Laurent Lafarge, chairman and CEO, Anevia, said: “We are excited to integrate Flamingo and our enterprise and hospitality business with Vitec. Crucially, this will also free Ateme to focus on its priority OTT market through the combination of the compression solutions it already had and the content delivery solutions it acquired from Anevia.”
