Egyptian space technology company 'Aqmar' is preparing to launch satellite communication services specifically designed to serve local market needs and support vital sectors in areas lacking traditional network coverage. The company announced that it will initially rely on renting and operating satellite capacities from international companies, enabling a quick market entry and providing satellite solutions while minimizing capital risks and allowing for flexible expansion as demand grows.

In its initial phase, 'Aqmar' will target areas that are underserved or completely lacking ground coverage, especially in desert and border regions, as well as sites for industrial projects and long-distance infrastructure. The company is particularly focusing on Internet of Things (IoT) services, which will connect sensors and equipment in remote locations to central data management and control systems through regular transmission and reception of small data packets.

The notable applications of this technology include the monitoring of gas and oil pipelines, electrical towers, and agricultural sensing, which could enhance operational efficiency in sectors heavily reliant on remote communications. This initiative not only aims to bridge the communication gap in isolated regions but also to foster economic development by facilitating better connectivity and data management in crucial industries.
