The award was given at the latest service provider forum held in Dubai and gathering all Thuraya distributors worldwide.

Vizada's leading performance in this category is based on the acquisition of a number of important NGO and media customers last year requiring the highly-portable, reliable and cost-effective Thuraya satellite solution that combines satellite with GMS and GPS.

With offices in eight countries and an international network of approximately 200 distributors, Vizada markets all Thuraya key services worldwide, notably:

• Thuraya new generation satellite phones integrating satellite connectivity, GSM and GPS for mobile users.
• Thuraya DSL, a high-speed portable satellite data-transfer solution
• Thuraya Maritime, cost-effective and reliable voice and data services including the Thuraya broadband IP service

Jeroen Jaspers, Marketing Manager Handheld at Vizada said:

"This important milestone demonstrates our dedication to the Thuraya service and we intend to continue this leading trend throughout 2007. With long-term experience marketing Thuraya services around the world, we are in the best position to accompany Thuraya in the distribution of key next generation services, including Thuraya GmPRS, Thuraya DSL+ and the extension of the coverage in Asia due in 2008."
