An engineer who ships networks, not slide decks.
I've spent the last twenty years where connectivity is hardest — oil fields, ships, mines, border posts and rooftops with bad weather. FSERVICE is the result: a small, focused practice that blends RF-level engineering with commercial clarity.
Philosophy
The best architecture isn't the most fashionable one — it's the one your night-shift operator can keep running. I optimise for uptime, total cost of ownership and operational sanity, in that order.
I stay vendor-independent on purpose. My recommendations are based on what your team can deploy, support and afford — not on who paid for last quarter's golf tournament.
And I work hands-on. If your stack involves satellite, cellular, LPWAN, an edge gateway and a SCADA back-end, expect me in your repo, on your spectrum analyser and on the call with the carrier.
Faisal Saifullah, PhD
Director of Sales — EMEA / Middle East at ORBCOMM · Dubai, UAE
As Director of Sales – EMEA at ORBCOMM, Faisal leads mission-critical Satellite IoT business across the Middle East and Africa — partnering with operators, system integrators and enterprise customers to deploy global asset tracking, telemetry and M2M solutions at scale.
With over two decades of experience spanning VSAT, cellular M2M, LPWAN and modern LEO satellite IoT constellations, his work focuses on the hard edge of connectivity: maritime fleets, oil & gas fields, cold-chain logistics, heavy equipment, and remote infrastructure where terrestrial networks simply don't reach.
FSERVICE is his independent advisory practice — a vendor-neutral lens on architecture, technology selection and go-to-market for organisations betting on Satellite IoT and Industrial M2M.
