European Antennas is a UK-based land and marine antenna manufacturer. Sattrans is a Ukrainian company specialising mostly in vehicle docking adapters, while Teknobil is a Turkish satellite applications development company with a focus on fleet management systems.

According to the MoUs, SpaceCom and European Antenna will be creating specialised high-power marine antennas for ThurayaDSL and ThurayaFDU services. This will improve Thuraya's maritime offering and subsequently its position in this key segment, the statement said.
