Muscat: Orbcomm, a global provider of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) solutions, has announced that Mahd Telecom, its Oman-based national service provider partner for Oman and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, has been granted regulatory approval to provide Orbcomm services in Oman. Issuance of the service authorization allows for installation of a new Orbcomm Gateway Earth Station (GES) in Oman and completion of the radio spectrum licensing process.
