Türksat and Avanti are joining forces to expand their coverage to underserved regions of Southern Africa.

The agreement grants Avanti additional capacity on Türksat’s high-throughput satellite, Türksat 5B, building on a partnership that began in 2019. This expansion reflects the increasing demand for satellite communications in Southern Africa and demonstrates both companies’ commitment to enhancing digital inclusion in the region.

Through this collaboration, Türksat and Avanti say they aim to deliver seamless connectivity to enterprise customers and support inter-operator partnerships that drive national and regional growth in the telecommunications sector. South African partners will benefit from the combined capacity and expertise of the two satellite operators, helping bridge connectivity gaps and improve access for businesses and communities.

Debbie Mavis, Director ay Avanti Communications, commented: “Partnering with Türksat allows us to meet the surging demand for GEO satellite services across Southern Africa. Together, we’re expanding connectivity to the communities and businesses that need it most.”

Dr. Selman Demirel, VP of Satellite Operations for Turksat, added: “South Africa represents a key growth market for Türksat. Avanti’s established presence and deep understanding of local connectivity needs make them an ideal partner for our expansion into the region.”

Avanti recently launched Avanti Everywhere, which encompasses a new suite of Flexible GEO services, strengthening its portfolio in response to market demand. The company showcased the new solutions at AfricaCom, engaging with industry leaders to demonstrate its commitment to enhancing connectivity across the continent.

The collaboration between Avanti and Türksat not only aims to deliver seamless connectivity to enterprise customers across Southern Africa but also to act as a catalyst of strategic inter-operator partnerships that drive national and regional growth in the telecommunications sector. This deal enables South African partners to benefit from the combined capacity and capabilities of both satellite operators.
