In order to extend its reach further, Al Jazeera Networks (AJN) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Es’hailSat, the Qatar Satellite Company.
As part of the agreement, Es’hailSat will provide independent and strategic satellite solutions to meet Al Jazeera’s requirements, including the provision of satellite capacity and the development of orbital positions and ground services to support future expansion opportunities in new markets. The satellite company has its first satellite, Es’hail 1, under construction already and there are plans for future satellites.
The agreement was signed in Doha by Sheikh Ahmed Bin Jassim Al Thani, Director General of Aljazeera Media Network and Ali Al Kuwari, Es’hailSat’s CEO.
