HYDERABAD -- MagnaQuest recently signed a contract to deploy MQSubscribe, its industry-proven customer management and billing solution, at AlMajd Satellite Broadcasting Ltd. AlMajd Satellite Broadcasting is a new DTH platform, which covers the Middle East, and plans to rollout the service across Europe, Asia and North America. AlMajd broadcasts Arabic and English channels from Riyadh, Dubai and Cairo. MQSubscribe would be leveraged over time to manage the rapidly increasing subscriber base of AlMajd.

Fahad Al-Shmaimri, chairman and CEO, AlMajd Satellite Broadcasting, said: "MagnaQuest, being a specialist IT solutions provider in the pay TV domain, can understand our business requirements and provide a cost-effective IT solution to manage billing, inventory, finance and customer care functions. MagnaQuest's track record and the fact that MQSubscribe has already been integrated with Philips' Cryptoworks (CAS), gave us the confidence that it would provide a scalable and seamless solution."

We are pleased to be selected by AlMajd Satellite Broadcasting to manage its rapidly growing subscriber base.
