QSAT Communications, a leading provider of highly reliable, fully managed, remote communication and IT solutions, proudly announces that it has been granted a VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) license to operate in Iraq through its locally-licensed entity. This achievement marks the successful completion of a new systems integration project, where QSAT Communications will provide managed network services for an international oilfield services group operating in the country.

The VSAT license requirement was introduced in January 2017 for service providers operating in Iraq, replacing the previous yearly telecommunications license needed to operate communication networks in the country. QSAT Communications’ local entity has not only renewed its general telecommunications license but has also secured the VSAT-specific license. This significant development allows the company to continue its support for customers in the region, providing satellite connectivity and a wide range of telecommunications and technology services.

As one of the few companies possessing the license to provide managed satellite communications in-country, QSAT Communications can meet our customer’s needs with the reliability and professionalism that has established us as a leader in the industry.”
