Thuraya IP M2M Service Launches to Connect the Internet of Remote Things

By Ken Briodagh June 21, 2017

Thuraya Telecommunications Company has announced the launch of its Thuraya IP M2M Service, designed to support high volume, high throughput machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. The service is powered by Thuraya's real-time, two-way IP network with speeds of up to 444 Kbps, a Remote Terminal Management (RTM) platform and the Thuraya IP+ terminal.

The new service extends the capabilities of Thuraya's IP+ terminal to support a wider range of M2M applications. It is designed for efficient communication between devices and for the control and consolidation of data from remote equipment. The service targets a number of sectors including oil and gas, utilities, renewable energy, banking and government. The RTM platform provides usage monitoring, connection control, abnormal session management, geo-fencing, firewall management, usage traffic graphs and charts.

“The rise in IoT applications and M2M adoption has triggered an increase in demand among several sectors for higher throughput applications deployed over satellite,” said Rashid Baba, acting Chief Commercial Officer, Thuraya. “Some of these solutions include video- and image capturing for surveillance and security; oil and gas real-time applications; smart-grid Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) recloser connectivity, and wind and solar farm monitoring. Thuraya IP M2M service addresses these requirements while taking operational efficiency for our customers to a whole new level by reducing the total cost of ownership and operation of their IoT apps and services.”

Thuraya IP M2M service addresses market requirements for bandwidth hungry M2M applications by allowing users to send bulk amounts of data per month, offering a scalable solution for high-volume SCADA connectivity, remote asset control, and other telemetry requirements.

“Our announcement about joining the LoRa Alliance adds further momentum to Thuraya's M2M aspirations,” said Baba. “We are expanding our services and solutions to areas such as rural IoT and M2M connectivity, cargo and shipping, smart agriculture, and smart metering. Thuraya IP M2M service is one of the key components of our exciting FUTURA capability plans, and positions us well to effectively address the market requirements.”
