The two organisations have converted a recent memorandum of understanding into a concrete offering that gives Media City Qatar’s licensees preferential access to Es’hailSat’s satellite, teleport and value‑added media services.
Licensed companies at Media City Qatar get discounted or special packages across Es’hailSat’s satellite and broadcast services, plus teleport and data centre facilities.
Offer covers a broad set of services: DTH distribution, broadcast contribution, broadband and enterprise connectivity, antenna hosting, playout, media asset management, and co-location.
The announcement is the first practical implementation of the MoU between Media City Qatar and Es’hailSat and was made while both participated at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam.
# What happened Media City Qatar and Qatar Satellite Company (Es'hailSat) have launched a special, exclusive offering for companies licensed within Media City Qatar. The announcement took place on the sidelines of IBC 2026 in Amsterdam and represents the first execution of a recently signed memorandum of understanding between the two organisations.
# What the offering includes The packages give Media City Qatar licensees access to a portfolio of Es'hailSat satellite and broadcast services and related infrastructure. Specifically, the offering covers:
# Who benefits and how The offering is positioned to support businesses across the media value chain. Named beneficiaries include television and radio broadcasters, OTT and digital media platforms, production and post‑production companies, technology and telecommunications firms, creative and content businesses, and startups and scale‑ups. The stated goals are to strengthen operational capability, reduce operating costs, and open new regional opportunities across the Middle East and North Africa.
# What the leaders said Media City Qatar CEO Hamad Omar Al Mannai framed the initiative as a practical step to expand the ecosystem and ensure licensed companies have the infrastructure and support needed to grow. The statement notes the move translates the earlier MoU into tangible benefits for licensees.
Es'hailSat CEO and President Ali Al Kuwari described the partnership as part of Es'hailSat's commitment to cultivate a "thriving media ecosystem in Qatar and across the region." He said exclusive access to Es'hailSat's infrastructure will help companies optimise operational costs and pursue regional opportunities.
# Why this matters now
# Practical implications for companies Companies licensed in Media City Qatar should expect streamlined access to satellite capacity and support services they would otherwise source separately. That could reduce procurement complexity and potentially lower costs tied to distribution, contribution, connectivity, and media operations. The inclusion of teleport, co‑location, playout, and asset management services supports end‑to‑end workflows for broadcasters and digital media platforms.
# What is not disclosed in the announcement
# Bottom line Media City Qatar and Es'hailSat have converted their MoU into a tangible offering aimed at licensed media and tech companies. The packages combine satellite distribution and connectivity with on‑site teleport and media operations services, positioned to simplify market entry and operations for firms working in or through Qatar.
