INTRODUCING IP NEO C

In January 2025 Space42 successfully launched the Thuraya 4-NGS satellite. This next-generation satellite is one of the largest geostationary L-band communication satellites produced and will significantly expand capabilities.

Based on cutting-edge LTE technologies and native AES-256 encryption T4-NGS will provide more security, faster speeds and expanded coverage across Africa, Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East.

T4 is in the orbit-raising process to reach its final position at 44° East and expected to be fully operational in Q3 of 2025.

Thuraya IP NEO C Based on Cobham Satcom’s renowned hardware platform the IP NEO C is primed for the next generation capabilities offered by T4. With speeds above 1 mbps from a single terminal, the IP NEO C represents a new era for portable satellite terminals by setting new standards for performance, size, resilience and reliability.

The terminal is portable, battery-powered and designed to provide reliable and secure connectivity even in the harshest of environments. At 22.5 x 22.5 cm and just 2.1 kg, it is small and light, providing data connectivity from a backpack in seconds.

Ideal combination of size and performance • Portable and battery-operated. • Lightweight at only 2.1 kg • Fastest L-band terminal with speeds @ 1mbps on T4-NGS

Robust satellite terminal fit for purpose • Durable magnesium casing with IP68 rated screw-on connectors • Easy to point, set up and operate. From backpack to internet in seconds • Pole mountable with PoE power (up to 100m) for permanent installs

Versatile and user-friendly • Easy access from smart devices with Thuraya Connect App • WLAN Access Point and two Ethernet Ports. • Power over Ethernet for input and output (IP Handset)

The NEO portfolio from Space42 in collaboration with Cobham Satcom

Thuraya IP NEO C is the first in an extensive new portfolio of NEO L-band terminals from Space42, all built on Cobham Satcom’s more than 40 years of L-Band innovation. This includes maritime and land mobile NEO terminals alongside military-graded variants. All launching in 2025. While all will harness the power of the new geostationary T4-NGS, they are also fully compatible with the current Thuraya 2 / 3 satellite constellation.

Diverse markets and users

Thuraya 4-NGS and its supporting infrastructure represent a big leap forward for secure and reliable satellite connectivity, serving diverse critical communications users from defense and enterprise to humanitarian and shipping in remote and hard-to-reach locations.

Together with the IP NEO C and the forthcoming NEO terminals from Cobham Satcom, Thuraya 4-NGS services will provide enhanced operational efficiency and connectivity where reliable communication is mission critical.
