Founded in 2002, Avanti Communications offers unique flexible GEO and multi-orbit satellite connectivity solutions.
Avanti operates a fleet of four Ka-band HYLAS satellites that offer 50 GHz capacity and a secure ground network of seven Gateway Earth Stations. We are currently the leading Ka-band high-throughput provider across EMEA.
Headquartered in London, Avanti has offices across Europe, Africa, and the USA, and was awarded a Best Place to Work ™ in 2024.
In 2010, we were the first British commercial company to launch a Ka-band satellite. Today, we own and operate a fleet of high-throughput satellites covering EMEA, including state-of-the-art steerable capacity and a secure and resilient ground network. In 2023, Avanti became a global multi-orbit provider of fully integrated connectivity services and solutions.
It is estimated that there are close to 30 million Nigerians living in rural communities that are unserved or underserved due to lack of seamless access to telecommunication services. To address this gap, IHS Nigeria needed a cost-effective, reliable and sustainable solution that could quickly be deployed in remote and hard to reach locations.
IHS Nigeria has been using Avanti’s Rural Solution since 2020 and has deployed over 500 sites in the most remote parts of Nigeria, bringing life-enhancing connectivity to millions of people.
Supporting day-to-day business operations for the maritime and offshore markets, Avanti ensures the secure exchange of large sets of exploration data for analytics, route planning as well as the safety and wellbeing of crew staff by providing connectivity at sea. Secure and reliable voice and data communication allows ship operators to manage their fleet ensuring real time communication between on shore and offshore offices where terrestrial infrastructure does not reach.
EE partners with Avanti to provide Satellite Cellular Backhaul to over 1,000 fixed and portable base stations across the UK. EE uses bandwidth from Avanti’s Ka-band satellites that connects all EE LTE sites across the country.
Avanti’s satellite cellular backhaul helps EE reach more remote and rural areas of the country, whilst simultaneously boosting the resilience of the network.
“The performance, reliability and versatility we get from satellite is really key for us. It has been part of our design and rollout of our network and how we actually operate the network in life.”
Richard Harrap, Managing Director of Emergency Services Network – EE
