Thuraya has enhanced its reputation for high-quality satellite communications by designing
a circuit-switched voice terminal that brings maritime communications within the reach of
all that operate at sea. Thuraya SeaStar offers unrivaled functionality and unprecedented
levels of value.
Thuraya’s new terminal meets the evolving needs of the modern fishing market, introducing
the power of modern satellite communications capability to small scale operators. Thuraya
SeaStar is ideal for smaller and regional owner operator fishing vessels, although its appeal
extends to other operators looking for quality communications.
Designed specifically for harsh maritime environments and to IEC 60945 standards,
Thuraya SeaStar also satisfies the operational and crew welfare requirements of larger
vessels. Thuraya SeaStar offers an effective solution for catch reporting, and accessible
emergency calls and notification capability.
Delivering the reassurance of constant connectivity and communications, Thuraya SeaStar
offers voice, SMS, data, and tracking, on an easy and intuitive interface that is based on the
Android operating systems.

Product Overview

Thuraya SeaStar is a circuit-switched voice terminal manufactured in partnership with Westone.
Conforming to IEC 60945 requirements, Thuraya SeaStar offers voice, SMS, data and tracking, on
an easy and intuitive interface. Users can make satellite voice calls to normal PSTN phones, mobile
phones, and other satellite phones through the Thuraya satellite network. Thuraya SeaStar can also
connect to a standard analog phone or private branch exchange.

Thuraya SeaStar is ideal for smaller and regional owner operator fishing vessels. The reach of
Thuraya’s network is extensive: according to data from the Western & Central Pacific Fisheries
Commission (WCPFC), 80% of the world’s fishing regions lie within Thuraya’s footprint.

Thuraya SeaStar will also appeal to regional merchants looking for a back-up system alternative to
VHF and GSM.
