Key Staff Tareq Khamis - Managing Director
Tareq spent 15 years at Hughes Network Systems where he led the Inmarsat-A software team to design, build and deliver a dual ocean region Land Earth Station (LES) for Station 12 (now Xantic) in the Netherlands (1989) and three LES systems for IDB Systems (now Stratos) in the USA (1991). He successfully program managed a Inmarsat-C LES system for the Communication Authority of Thailand (1993) and a major Inmarsat-A expansion and new Inmarsat-C dual ocean region system for Telecom Italia/Telespazio (1995). From 1996 to 1998, Tareq led the start-up of a new HNS European VSAT Customer Assistance Centre. Starting with a very small team, Tareq developed the resources and capabilities of the centre to deliver a high quality profitable service. After working in 1999 as HNS Regional Sales Manager for the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia, Tareq joined ViaSat in 2000 as the European Sales Manager. He successfully opened new markets in Greece and Spain with major wins in both countries. He worked with Eutelsat and Sea Tel to help introduce a new VSAT Maritime product based on ViaSat's Skylinx platform working on Eutelsat's DSAT160 service in 2001. During 2002, Tareq sold and marketed DVB-RCS-like products in Europe and built up technical and market knowledge of this exiting new open standard. This will be critical for future two-way satellite broadband ADSL-like services. Tareq established Prime Satcom Consulting Ltd in 2003. Tareq has led Prime Satcom Consulting successfully during its first year, working to set up and run Orbit Research Ltd's Satellite Broadband sales business in the UK and internationally and to provide a key consultantcy to PetroData Ltd to research and advise on the best satellite global solution for their new Oil Pump monitoring system. At the start of its second year, Tareq has led the set up of a service provision division of Prime Satcom Consulting, called Prime Satellite Broadband. |
