About Nilesat
Nilesat — officially the Egyptian Satellite Company — is the dominant satellite operator in the Middle East and North Africa. Established in 1996 as an Egyptian joint stock company, it is headquartered in 6th of October City and operates Egypt's national satellite fleet.
Nilesat delivers direct-to-home broadcasting, satellite broadband, and data services to over 100 million households across MENA. As a listed company on the Egyptian Exchange and a strategic pillar of Egypt's telecommunications infrastructure, it requires operational continuity, financial transparency, and enterprise-grade management.
What large-scale satellite operators need to solve
