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.
