The PM toured the station and was briefed on the advanced equipment and systems that control the operation of the satellites to ensure safe and integrated broadcasting services in accordance with the highest standards.
The PM said that the inauguration of the Teleport is a new achievement for Qatar, which is steadily progressing in carrying out its strategic projects in accordance with the National Vision 2030 and under the sound directives of the Amir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani.
The PM also hailed the efforts exerted over the past years, which have resulted in the establishment of Es’hail-1 and Es’hail-2 satellites, the Teleport and the training and qualification of national cadres that have proved their capability and efficiency in this important vital sector.
In a speech, Es’hailSat CEO Ali bin Ahmed al Kuwari said the inauguration of the Teleport is an important step in the company’s plan to provide a safe and independent satellite service to meet all the requirements of its current and future customers.
The launch of Teleport will enable Es’hailSat to provide the best solutions to its customers in the region, not only technically but also in terms of security, especially in view of the fact that Es’hail-1 and Es’hail-2 satellites were designed with the latest anti-jamming technology, Kuwari said.
The Teleport includes all the basic requirements to provide the best ground and platform services for all customers of Es’hailSat Company which was keen to design a station that can be developed in the future to meet the needs of its customers.
An area of 50,000 square metres has been allocated north of Doha for the new Teleport which will provide satellite control services, support communications and control of satellite capacities, in addition to a wide range of broadcasting and encryption services, which are designed specifically for the company’s partners and customers.

It will also connect with the most important media platforms in the State of Qatar through its fibre-optic technology. Es’hailSat will broadcast a variety of major TV channels such as Al Jazeera and beIN as well Qatar Media Corporation’s channels.
