Ground Stations (GS) Hub
Sector: Space
This project is mainly based on the advantage of the strategic location of Oman with respect to the equator for hosting GS for satellite operators or for companies that intends to provide GS as a service (GSaS) for satellite operators.
In addition to the strategic location, Oman has a set of 21 submarine cables that could easily link in real-time the data downloaded from satellites to end users, or to develop data analytics services in the country and offer the final products, including solutions or applications, for the end users.
The government intends to enable this partnership through various forms of incentives
This project will enable the development of the space sector through the followings:
- Facilitate space-oriented technology and knowledge transfer by allowing foreign satellite operators to benefit from a strategic location for their satellite systems
- Provide an ecosystem for development of digital applications
- Establish Oman as a space gateway in the region
- Enhance the utilization of space-ground telecom infrastructure including submarine-cables
- Support the development of local skills and workforce.
