Anuvu, a leading provider of high-speed connectivity and entertainment solutions for worldwide mobility markets, has named the firm’s first two satellites in the forthcoming Anuvu Constellation, NuView-A and NuView-B.
Named to reflect Anuvu’s “new view” of the mobility connectivity market, the Viewing duet is a new class of High Throughput Satellite (HTS) that will form a key element in the geostationary orbit layer of the Anuvu network.
After many years as the world’s largest lessor of geostationary satellite capacity, Anuvu is set to become a satellite operator with the launch of NuView-A and NuView-B in mid-2024, providing high-performance connectivity over North America and the Caribbean. The duet will deliver 50 gigabits per second of additional bandwidth for the company’s global mobility network.
The satellites will have a mission life of eight to ten years and allow capacity and power to be moved and optimized on-orbit using state-of-the-art software defined radios (SDRs) and digital channelizers. The Anuvu Constellation will complement the company’s existing connectivity infrastructure and bolster a hybrid network across orbits to deliver optimized solutions to customers.
“Our mission at Anuvu is to provide seamless connectivity solutions to our mobility clients as they navigate the transition from connectivity today to a world of multiple orbits and frequency bands with the need for rapid and flexible service delivered over both. The launch of the Anuvu Constellation ensures we will continue to expertly provide connectivity to people on the move – whether that’s on aircraft, cruise ships, commercial shipping vessels, or super yachts – through satellite capacity that is targeted and highly flexible,” said Mike Pigott, EVP Connectivity, Anuvu. “The launch of NuView-A and NuView-B forms part of our bridge to LEO strategy, enabling flexible connectivity architectures that allow clients to pivot their business model as new technology is deployed.”
