Satellite ISP Avanti Moots Broadband and HD TV Service Bundles in UK Rural Areas

Posted: 12th Sep, 2011 By: MarkJ
hylas1 broadband satellite ukavanti uk logoAvanti Communications, a UK based broadband Satellite ISP, has teamed up with Hughes Europe to showcase a new satellite dual-feed antenna solution that combines High Definition TV (HDTV) and broadband data signals.

The dual-feed antenna unit (aka - dual-LNB) could allow Avanti to offer UK consumers a triple-play (bundled) service of broadband internet access, HDTV and VoIP (internet voice calling) via a single Satellite dish installation. This would obviously help to make such services much more attractive in rural areas.

Avanti's COO, Matthew O’Connor, said:

"This new offering will position us well to meet the continuing large demand for consumer broadband in underserved regions of Europe. It's a giant step forward to tap this huge market, and is evidence of our strong and growing partnership—combining Hughes global leadership in providing high-speed satellite Internet service, with Avanti’s launch of more HYLAS satellites in the coming years."

Hughes Europe's MD, Christopher Britton, added:

"This exciting new initiative demonstrates the viability of providing satellite TV and broadband Internet access easily and simply, with the need for only one set of cables and a small, compact antenna."

It's understood that the new service, which would aim to make the best possible use of Avanti's recently launched and 10Mbps capable HYLAS 1 (Highly Adaptable Satellite) spacecraft, will first be introduced to the Southern European market before reaching other regions during 2012.

The setup is currently being demonstrated at the IBC 2011 (Hall 1, Stand A50) event in Amsterdam until 13th September 2011. Further details, such as how much the hardware and service will cost, not to mention what content might be available at launch, were not available.
