Thuraya Locate – satellite location service
TS2 Satellite Technologies has announced the launch of Thuraya Locate. The service is for people who want their location to be known and shown to family, friends or employers so that they know where the user is, where they have been and when. It is a simple and easy service which allows anyone that you wish to see your location and history using essentially any recent web browser on any current PC.

ThurayaLocate service relies upon Thuraya satellite phones to transmit their GPS location data; hence ThurayaLocate™ operates in all countries where Thuraya satellite phones operate. Currently in satellite mode this represents almost 2/3 of the world’s land surface including Asia, Africa, Europe, Middle East, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea and Australia. When using a Hughes, Ascom, SG or SO phone the Thuraya Location Services are also available wherever there is an interconnected GSM network, thereby significantly extending the coverage area.
The service works by:
• The Thuraya subscriber registering their handset for the ThurayaLocate™ service via www.thurayalocate.com
• Upon registration, the subscriber will receive a username and password to access the service. The subscriber decides which authorized people they will share the username and password with.
• After registering, the user acquires their GPS position using the standard features available on Thuraya handsets.
• This information is then sent manually via SMS to the ThurayaLocate operations center.
• The authorized parties log on to the website with the subscriber username and password.
• The web browser displays the handset location using maps, satellite images and aerial photography made available via Google Maps or Windows Virtual Earth.
ThurayaLocate™ is designed for:
Backpackers letting friends and family see where they are and where they’ve been
Outdoor adventurers – skiers, hikers, mountain bikers, climbers, canoeists, coastal and oceanic sailors
Balloonists, paragliders and light aviation pilots
Fishing fleets, coastal and oceanic cargo ships, water taxis, ferries, river and cruise boats
