Al Yah Satellite Communications Company PJSC announced that its government division, Yahsat Government Solutions (YGS), has agreed with EDGE Group entity, NIMR, to line-fit pre-qualified Comms-On-The-Move (COTM) solutions on NIMR's vehicular systems. The agreement was announced at the World Defense Show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and builds on the partnership formed between the entities by the signing of a MoU recently at the International Defence Exhibition & Conference (IDEX) 2021 in Abu Dhabi, UAE last year. That MoU allowed both entities to develop a concept design demonstrating how NIMR s military vehicles can be equipped with Yahsat s COTM solutions. During the World Defense Show, Yahsat and NIMR are showcasing one of Yahsat s terminals fitted onto NIMRs AJBAN 442A vehicle.

By pre-testing and integrating Yahsat COTM solutions on various connected vehicular systems, Yahsat has been able to remove risks and unwanted costs associated with system integration for its customers. Through the agreement, Yahsat will leverage NIMR s network and existing relationship with the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to extend its reach and increase customer acquisition. NIMR will have the opportunity to expand its value-chain and offer connected vehicles to their customer base with a secured satcom network both Ka-band and L-band.
