Avanti Communications announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Telesat to test and develop LEO services as part of its global strategy to deliver bespoke, multi-orbit solutions to customers at scale. Avanti plans to incorporate Telesat?s Lightspeed? services into its network to provide affordable, high quality broadband connectivity worldwide.

Telesat?s innovative global network is composed of 198 LEO satellites that are seamlessly integrated with on-ground networks. Avanti is investing heavily in strategic partnerships and its managed services to meet customers? requirements in an evolving industry where demand for capacity is growing.

Avanti?s first low-latency LEO constellation agreement will support the execution of Avanti?s new strategy, which is built on a ?customer pull? versus ?technology push? model.

The collaboration will be optimised to serve the critical connectivity requirements of Avanti?s enterprise and government customers once the Telesat Lightspeed constellation is operational in 2027.
