Avanti Communications signs Master Distributor contract with iWayAfrica

Avanti Communications Group, a leading satellite operator and provider of satellite data communications services in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, has signed a HYLAS 4 Master Distributor contract with iWayAfrica.

The Master Distributor contract enables iWayAfrica to utilise the latest Ka-band satellite technology via Avanti’s HYLAS 4 satellite, which offers 100% coverage of Sub-Saharan Africa. iWayAfrica – which has offices in Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius and South Africa – will provide affordable high-speed satellite broadband to connect homes, SMEs, schools and enterprises across Sub-Saharan Africa, especially in rural and remote locations where terrestrial networks are limited.

Kyle Whitehill, Chief Executive Officer, Avanti Communications, said: “We’re delighted to extend our partnership with iWayAfrica and have them sign as Avanti’s first Master Distributor for HYLAS 4. Combined with our world-leading Ka-band technology and IWayAfrica’s expertise in telecommunications across the African market, the new services will offer consumer and businesses affordable high-speed broadband access.”

Mathew Welthagen, Group CEO of Gondwana International Networks, the parent company of iWayAfrica, added: “With HYLAS 4, we are excited to take Avanti’s high-speed service plans to West and Central Africa for the first time. This is a natural extension of our existing relationship and we are actively engaged with our partner network to bring these services online, as well as extending our reach in the region even further to new partners and new territories.”
