It’s your world, your phone, your call
Leading Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) operator Thuraya Telecommunications today unveiled a new generation of SatSleeve models, offering greater choice, improved quality and a new hotspot option.
When SatSleeve was launched in 2013 it pioneered the “bring your own device” (BYOD) concept in the satellite industry. Now Thuraya goes further with two new models, and has identified a clear consumer target market for the range, running alongside core government, media, energy, and NGO sectors.
SatSleeve+ and SatSleeve Hotspot will appeal to travellers, adventurers and outdoor sportspeople, or simply to consumers who want the assurance that their smartphone will connect even when terrestrial networks are unavailable or damaged.
Thuraya will market SatSleeve+ and SatSleeve Hotspot through existing distribution partners; innovative agreements it has developed with mobile network operators (MNOs) in key markets; and new channels generated through online retailer Expansys.

Solide, zuverlässig und preiswert. Mit diesen Attributen verschaffte sich Skoda seinen Ruf, für Sparfüchse und Menschen, denen das problemlose Vorwärtskommen wichtiger als Prestige ist, die richtige Adresse zu sein. Eine Philosophie, die die tschechische VW-Tochter auch 20009 bei der Einführung ihres ersten Kompakt-SUVs, dem Yeti, konsequent weiter verfolgte. Nur der vom mystischen Fabelwesen aus dem Himalaya geborgte Name versprühte ein wenig Extravaganz. Ansonsten gab sich der Allradler bewusst bodenständig und glänzte – typisch für Skoda eben – mit hohem Nutzwert. Eine Grundeigenschaft, die bei dem jetzt grundlegend überarbeiteten Modell natürlich beibehalten wurde. Der fast kantig modellierte Yeti dürfte zwar trotz neuer Front und neuem Heck nach wie vor keinen renommierten Designer-Auto-Preis erringen, wirkt jedoch auch dank der neuen Leuchtengrafik und stärker ausgeformter Radhäuser freundlich und dynamisch. Die unterhalb der Front, an den Seiten und am Heck angebrachte Kunststoffverkleidung, die das Blech vor Beschädigungen beim Ausritt ins Gelände schützt, erzeugt zudem Off Road-Look, ohne übertrieben zu wirken. Die erstmals angebotene Outdoor-Variante unterscheidet sich dabei gegenüber dem Stadt-Yeti dadurch, dass diese Teile in schwarz gehalten sind. Das sieht nicht nur urig aus.

Summer’s arrival means America’s yards step up as the popular backdrop of family life. More than half (58 percent) of homeowners surveyed in the TruGreen Home Features Report, conducted by the National Association of REALTORS®, named “eating and/or entertaining outside with family or friends” as one of the most common ways they currently use their outdoor space. And if selling a home, a healthy, green lawn can be a value-boosting asset.
