Amsterdam, the Netherlands, September 11, 2026--Es’hailSat, the Qatar Satellite Company, is placing its advanced Playout and Media Services portfolio at the forefront of the annual IBC exhibition in Amsterdam. Exhibiting at Stand F68 in Hall 1, Es’hailSat is demonstrating its end-to-end broadcast capabilities, seamlessly linking its 50,000 sqm Tier-4 certified teleport with the high-powered Es’hail-1 and Es’hail-2 satellites at 25.5°/26° East to deliver premium DTH content to broadcasters and media enterprises across the Middle East and North Africa.
A centerpiece of Es’hailSat’s showcase at IBC 2026 is the announcement of the new Es’hail-3 high- throughput satellite program. Developed under a landmark strategic partnership with Türksat and manufactured by Thales Alenia Space, this next-generation high throughput Ka-band satellite will be positioned at the 50° East orbital slot. Designed with in-orbit re-programmability and dynamic beam allocation, Es’hail-3 marks Es’hailSat’s largest expansion to date, extending high-speed connectivity beyond the MENA region into Sub Saharan Africa, Europe, Central Asia, and surrounding maritime zones.
To deliver multi-orbit solutions, Es’hailSat is also showcasing its partnership with Canada’s Telesat Lightspeed constellation. By integrating the Telesat Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation, Es’hailSat brings high-throughput, low-latency connectivity to enterprise, government, and mobility sectors.
Mr. Ali Al Kuwari, President and CEO of Es’hailSat, said: “Since launching our first satellites, Es’hailSat has continuously evolved to meet the complex connectivity demands of our region. Our presence at IBC 2026 reflects a transformative phase in our growth — driven by the development of Es’hail-3, our integration of Telesat’s LEO network. By combining geo-stationary resilience, low-latency LEO capabilities, and sovereign ground infrastructure, we are empowering our broadcast, government, and enterprise partners with robust, future-ready communications. At the same time, we look forward to meeting the broadcast industry’s leading companies at IBC 2026 for whom we are showcasing our playout services and end-to- end broadcast solutions.”
