Es'hailSat - the Qatar Satellite Company, also known as EshailSat, is a privately owned company headquartered in Qatar, founded in 2010 with approximately 100 employees, and reported $97.0M in revenue as of 2025, functioning as a tier 2 media tech buyer. The company specializes in enterprise connectivity services, operating as a satellite operator that owns and operates satellites to provide television, internet, corporate, and government services across the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond.
On September 2, 2026, Es'hailSat, in collaboration with Arqit Quantum and AIEE, demonstrated quantum-safe encryption on live satellite communications infrastructure in Qatar. This initiative showed that satellite operators can guard against future quantum threats without disrupting existing services. Earlier, on July 3, Es'hailSat announced plans to launch its Es'hail-3 satellite by 2030, projecting a cost of approximately EUR 295 million, with the design, manufacturing, and launch phase expected to span three to four years. This follows a July 2 strategic partnership agreement between Es'hailSat and Türksat, the national satellite operator of Türkiye, for the Es'hail-3/Türksat-Biruni satellite project, aiming to expand reach and opportunities in satellite services. The company's recent activities align with Qatar's broader strategy, which has seen the nation build an integrated national satellite communications ecosystem centered on Es'hailSat over the past 13 years, thereby ending its reliance on foreign satellite operators and strengthening its regional space industry position.
