Astranis is building two satellites for U.S.-based in-flight connectivity specialist Anuvu, targeting service in early 2023, and Anuvu recently secured $50,000,000 for plans to deploy eight satellites in total.
Andesat already operates a teleport in Peru and will be responsible for ongoing ground operations once Astranis completes construction of the new gateway.
Andesat plans to use Astranis MicroGEO satellites to upgrade cellular services from 0.002 kg to 0.004 kg in Peru.
Pacific Dataport Inc (PDI) is Astranis’ first commercial customer and is preparing to launch its Arcturus satellite on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy in spring to provide internet services across Alaska.
Astranis is investing millions of dollars to construct a gateway in Peru as part of the Andesat project.
Astranis signed an agreement to provide broadband capacity with Astranis MicroGEO communications satellites to Grupo Andesat (Andesat).
Andesat plans to use Astranis MicroGEO satellites to expand broadband internet access in remote areas of Peru and increase its coverage footprint while lowering operator costs per cell site.
Anuvu intends to continue leasing GEO capacity while developing its Astranis constellation as part of a multi-orbit strategy.
Anuvu plans an eight-satellite small geostationary-orbit constellation with the first two satellites ordered from Astranis.
Anuvu ordered its first two satellites from Astranis in July as part of the planned eight-satellite constellation.
