[Via Satellite 10-02-2015] Thuraya Telecommunications has reached an agreement with leading online retailer Expansys to offer SatSleeve+ and SatSleeve Hotspot products in 28 countries across Europe. The full scope of the Expansys distribution agreement also means that Thuraya SatSleeve models will be available in high profile third party stores, such as Amazon, Orange and Carrefour. This agreement is the first time Expansys has offered satellite handset devices.

Thuraya recently launched the SatSleeve+ and SatSleeve Hotspot, which build on the original SatSleeve concept by offering more choice, improved quality and a new hotspot option. Thuraya is marketing these products to travellers, adventurers and outdoor sportspeople, along with others desiring connectivity outside of terrestrial networks

Thuraya and Expansys will also deliver an extensive range of marketing support throughout the year, including complementary cross-selling opportunities as well as the depth of a sustained online demand generation campaign.
