Thuraya Launches Mobile Satellite Services in Korea

Thuraya has launched mobile satellite services in Korea, the company announced.
  The service was launched in partnership with the company’s Korean business partner, APSI, which will serve as a service provider. Thuraya now will provide border-to-border coverage in Korea, including remote and rural locations not covered by terrestrial mobile networks.
