Avanti Communications has expanded its collaboration with Türksat through a new agreement aimed at increasing high-capacity connectivity across Africa, with a focus on underserved regions in Southern Africa. Building on their initial partnership established in 2019, Avanti has secured additional capacity on Türksat’s high-throughput satellite (HTS) Türksat 5B.

This enhanced collaboration is designed not only to deliver reliable and seamless connectivity to enterprise customers throughout Southern Africa but also to serve as a catalyst for strategic inter-operator partnerships that can spur growth within the regional telecoms industry. The new deal allows South African partners to leverage the combined capabilities and satellite capacity of both companies, according to Debbie Mavis, Director of Avanti Communications.
