Through this new, multi-year contract, it will leverage the unparalleled coverage of the EUTELSAT 7 West A satellite of the MENA region to deliver unprecedented access to a diverse range of educational and informative channels. Supporting the educational goals of students, educators, and life-long learners across the region and especially in Iraq, the new platform gives them enhanced access to information and learning materials.

Laurence Delpy, President of the Video Business Unit at Eutelsat commented: We are deeply honoured to be selected by SABA WORLD to support them delivering educational content across the MENA region, making learning more accessible and more enjoyable than ever before. Our partnership with SABA WORLD, who play an important role as an added value reseller in the region, gives us a privileged access into the Iraqi market and beyond, and we are delighted to be working together. This agreement highlights the crucial role that satellite has to play in providing resources that advance social and educational goals, even in hard-to-reach areas.
