Es’hailSat is to partner with Total Media Cast (TMC) to be able to provide digital satellite news gathering services (DSNG) and outdoor broadcast van (OBVAN) services in Qatar and across Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The two companies will work together in the leasing of the DSNG vehicle and equipment to end customers, with a specific focus on news agencies and journalists, particularly for news gathering. The two companies announced the collaboration on Jan. 21.

TMC aims to provide clients with expert broadcast & operations consultation studies, digital media management, integration services, news gathering & media logistics services, and space segment lease services. It aims to be at the forefront of the Arab media services companies, in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

“Es’hailSat is delighted to partner with Total Media Cast and add DSNG and OBVAN services to complement our teleport and satellite hotspot. We believe that the growing number of live events in Qatar and the Middle East need dedicated news gathering services, together with teleport and satellite infrastructure to ensure quality of service for premier broadcasters across the region,” Ali Ahmed Al-Kuwari, president and CEO of Es’hailSat said in a statement.
