Space42 and Cobham Satcom Launch IP NEO for Seamless Critical Connectivity

Space42 (ADX: SPACE42), the UAE-based AI-driven SpaceTech enterprise, has partnered with Cobham Satcom, a global authority in satellite communications, to introduce IP NEO, an advanced satellite broadband terminal now available for commercial use.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Secure Communications

IP NEO has been developed through a collaboration between Cobham Satcom and Thuraya, Space42’s specialized mobility and satellite solutions division. Designed to meet the needs of industries requiring secure, uninterrupted connectivity, this terminal ensures seamless communication in environments where terrestrial networks are unavailable. With its compact, lightweight, and rugged design, IP NEO is ideal for government agencies, NGOs, businesses, and individuals operating in remote or extreme locations.

Ali Al Hashemi, Chief Executive Officer of Yahsat Space Services, Space42, said: “IP NEO demonstrates our commitment to delivering secure, resilient, and future-ready satellite communication solutions. Built on robust L-band technology, the platform ensures reliable connectivity, even in the most challenging environments. Its compatibility with Thuraya 4 further strengthens its capabilities, enabling high-throughput speeds that meet the evolving demands of mission-critical operations.”

Seamless Integration with the Thuraya 4 Network

Cobham Satcom not only serves as the exclusive provider of Thuraya 4 terminals for Space42 but also plays a crucial role in delivering the ground segment infrastructure for the next-generation Thuraya 4 network. This integration highlights Cobham Satcom’s position as a global leader in L-band connectivity solutions, ensuring high-speed data transmission, network resilience, and widespread coverage.

Christophe Duret, Chief Executive Officer of Cobham Satcom, said: “Along with Space42’s state-of-the-art Thuraya 4 satellite’s advanced capabilities, our new terminals for government and commercial end-users will provide the fastest standard L-band connectivity ever achieved, unlocking new opportunities for secure and resilient high-speed connectivity for demanding land and ocean environments.”

Unmatched Performance in Harsh Environments

IP NEO delivers robust L-band connectivity, enabling a range of critical applications, including internet browsing, video conferencing, remote surveillance, and VPN access—even under extreme conditions. The terminal’s dust and water-resistant construction makes it particularly well-suited for challenging environments where reliability is essential.

Next-Generation Capabilities for Future Growth

As part of Space42’s next-generation product lineup, IP NEO is designed for long-term adaptability. Fully compatible with the upcoming Thuraya 4 satellite, the terminal will support throughput speeds of up to 1024kbps, simultaneous voice and data communication, and remote terminal management once the satellite becomes operational. This advanced capability will further solidify Space42 and Cobham Satcom’s leadership in the satellite communications industry.
