Our Fleet of Satellites

We launched our first high-throughput satellite in 2010. Today, we operate a fleet of 4 Ka-band satellites that provide extensive capacity across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

HYLAS 4

Launched in April 2018, HYLAS 4 doubles our capacity over EMEA. Using the latest Ka-band technology, it has 64 fixed beams serving Africa and Europe, as well as four independent steerable beams able to be steered anywhere visible on the Earth’s disk from 33.5˚W.

HYLAS 3

Launched in August 2019, HYLAS 3 is a steerable cluster of 8 beams that can be steered to anywhere within the 31˚ E coverage zone, providing flexible and high throughput connectivity across EMEA and part of Asia.

HYLAS 2

Launched in 2012, HYLAS 2 uses high-throughput Ka-band technology. The spacecraft has 24 fixed beams and one steerable beam, addressing markets across EMEA.

HYLAS 1

HYLAS 1 was Avanti’s first satellite, which launched in 2010. The spacecraft has 8 high-throughput Ka-band beams and is complemented by a Ku-band broadcast capability with fibre enhanced coverage.

The Avanti advantage

Avanti is a world-leading provider of agile, secure and pioneering Ka-band satellite technology.

Ka-band spot beams allow for higher data throughput.

Our steerable beams on HYLAS 2, HYLAS 3 and HYLAS 4 provide dedicated and flexible bandwidth option across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.

Fast deployment and installation via the Avanti Mobile Assist App.

Our smaller user terminals are cheaper to buy, install and maintain.

Monitoring system and training tools via Avanti’s Operational Supporting Systems.

Dual redundant GES in Europe, the Middle East and Africa with extensive international fibre ring ensuring resilience and security.
