Space42 Announces Global Availability of Thuraya-4, Its Next-Generation Communications Satellite System

The satellite delivers secure, enhanced, and reliable connectivity to over 100 countries across Europe, Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East, with new markets including South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, and Zambia.

Thuraya-4 advances Space42’s mission to combine connectivity with intelligence. Building on Thuraya’s 25-year legacy, now part of Space42, the T4-NGS transforms technological infrastructure into a multi-vertical platform that reflects a disciplined approach to strategic growth. It also carries a 15-year government contract valued at USD 708 million and serves as the driving platform for Space42’s mobile satellite services business.

Ali Al Hashemi, CEO of Space Services at Space42, said: “Thuraya-4’s commercial readiness is a major milestone for Space42. It strengthens our Non-Terrestrial Network leadership, showing how we translate long-term vision into global scale and commercial growth. By combining connectivity with next-generation technology, we are building a more adaptable, resilient communications ecosystem that will support customers, partners, and markets for years to come.”
