Dubai, UAE, October 7, 2026--iKO Media Group (iKOMG), a premium, full-service media partner delivering satellite, cloud, OTT and monetization solutions, has been named winner of Best Satellite Solution for Broadcast & Media at the BroadcastPro Manufacturer Awards 2026 in Dubai for its FASTonSAT solution.
The award recognizes FASTonSAT’s innovative approach to extending the FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television) model beyond connected devices, combining the scale and reliability of satellite broadcasting with the targeting and monetization capabilities of FAST.
In MENA alone, FASTonSAT provides access to more than 66 million households via Eutelsat 7W/8W, enabling broadcasters and content owners to extend their reach beyond traditional broadband delivery while creating new opportunities to monetize their content and audiences.
The award was collected by Rashmin Abhani, SVP Pre-Sales & Satellite Resource Management at iKO Media Group, during the awards evening in Dubai.
“This award is a great recognition of the innovation behind FASTonSAT and the way we develop solutions at iKOMG. We don’t see satellite and FAST as separate worlds. We look at how different technologies can work together to give our customers greater reach, more flexibility and stronger opportunities to monetise their content. FASTonSAT is a very good example of that, and seeing it already adopted by major international broadcasters makes this recognition particularly meaningful.”
FASTonSAT is already supporting a growing portfolio of international channels. GB News recently selected the solution to extend its 24/7 reach across MENA, making the British news channel available to more homes globally. The solution also carries channels including World Fashion, Kartoon and CGTN Global Business, demonstrating its application across news, entertainment and thematic content.
The award further reinforces iKOMG’s focus on developing solutions around the evolving commercial and distribution needs of broadcasters and content owners. By bringing together established satellite infrastructure with FAST, OTT, cloud and monetisation capabilities, iKOMG helps media companies expand audience reach and create new revenue opportunities from their content.
