Astranis demonstrated its MicroGEO satellite platform in orbit in August 2025 when two satellites for in-flight connectivity provider Anuvu entered service.
In June 2022, Southwest signed a deal with Anuvu for Anuvu to modernize in-flight connectivity equipment across 350 of Southwest’s 737NG aircraft.
Starlink will replace the Anuvu system that is installed on older Southwest aircraft.
The Southwest-Starlink agreement will impact Anuvu’s work on Southwest aircraft.
Southwest currently works with Viasat and Anuvu for in-flight connectivity service.
Two Block 2 satellites, NuView Alpha and NuView Bravo, are en route to geostationary orbit over the Americas to provide inflight connectivity for Anuvu.
Anuvu proposed eight geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites after emerging from bankruptcy protection in 2021, and the first two of those eight were initially due to launch last year.
Anuvu plans to provide capacity from low Earth orbit using satellites that SpaceX is slated to start deploying in mid-2026 for Canadian GEO operator Telesat’s Lightspeed constellation.
Anuvu’s HEO satellites would cover over 95% of Anuvu airline customers’ flight paths, including routes closer to the North Pole that are beyond the reach of GEO satellites, providing similar coverage to low Earth orbit spacecraft.
Anuvu was previously known as Global Eagle Entertainment and collapsed into bankruptcy in July 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic greatly reduced core airline and cruise line activities.
Anuvu will become a satellite operator with the launch of NuView-A and NuView-B in mid-2024 after many years as the world’s largest lessor of geostationary satellite capacity.
The Anuvu Constellation is part of Anuvu’s bridge to LEO strategy to enable flexible connectivity architectures as new technology is deployed.
Block 2 includes the renamed Agila satellite for Orbits Corp, UtilitySat, and two spacecraft for U.S.-based mobile satellite connectivity specialist Anuvu.
Lenders rescued Anuvu (formerly Global Eagle Entertainment) in 2021 and the company subsequently ordered its own satellites to reduce reliance on leased capacity.
U.S.-based mobile satellite connectivity specialist Anuvu ordered two satellites that will join UtilitySat as part of Block 2.
On 2023-02-07, Anuvu is leasing ground infrastructure from Canadian satellite operator Telesat for a geostationary constellation it expects to start deploying 2023.
Telesat is installing new 9-meter Ku-band and 9.2-meter Ka-band antennas at its Allan Park teleport in Ontario and at a backup site in Calgary, Alberta under its deal with Anuvu.
Astranis is on track to deliver Anuvu’s first two satellites for a mid-2023 launch aboard a single SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
Anuvu expanded a capacity leasing deal with Telesat that uses terminals designed to be forward-compatible with Telesat Lightspeed.
Anuvu signed a deal to resell Starlink services on 2023-01-17.
