Qvest has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Arabsat to create a new OTT streaming platform.

Signed at FOMEX 2025 in Riyadh, Arabsat will be able to extend its direct-to-consumer services and offer white-label solutions for broadcasters and content providers. 

Qvest will provide Arabsat with business and technology consultancy, content partnerships, and strategic guidance to enhance its digital media ecosystem. The collaboration will also facilitate partnerships with local and international content providers to expand Arabsat’s offerings. 

“This partnership with Qvest furthers Arabsat’s strategy to transform media distribution. By offering reliable advanced OTT streaming capabilities alongside traditional satellite services, Arabsat helps broadcasters boost audience reach and engagement in a changing media landscape,” said Eng. Alhamedi Alanezi, President & CEO, Arabsat.

Ahmad Hadi Al Kayal, General Manager of Qvest MENA, added that he was proud to help shape OTT distribution with MENA. “Our collaboration will not only provide ARABSAT with a cutting-edge streaming infrastructure but also enable business growth through a flexible and highly scalable digital media ecosystem.”
