Satellite operator Arabsat says it has established a partnership with UAE-based digital and ICT solutions provide ZainTech to provide satellite-powered cloud, IoT, AI, drones, digital and data services across the MENA region.

According to a post on LinkedIn, the partnership will combine ZainTech's managed and secured cloud infrastructure with Arabsat’s satellite network. Arabsat said the two companies aim to provide businesses with secure, scalable, and reliable solutions, even in remote areas.

Last year, Arabsat – which is wholly owned by the Arab League – revealed plans to reach new markets in the Middle East, Africa and West/Central Asia as “part of Saudi Arabia's wider initiative to continue to invest in space, diversify from the media and broadcast sector and bring satellite internet capabilities to users in remote and underserved areas through its VSAT broadband business.”

In May 2024, Arabsat [contracted ST Engineering iDirect](https://developingtelecoms.com/telecom-technology/satellite-communications-networks/16746-st-engineering-idirect-upgrades-arabsat-gateways-for-new-market-push.html) to deploy cloud technologies into its gateway infrastructure to support its diversification move.
