Eutelsat and Anuvu, a provider of inflight entertainment (IFE) and inflight connectivity (IFC) technologies for airlines, has signed a new multi-year agreement for GEO capacity on the Eutelsat 10B satellite.
Under the agreement with Eutelsat, Anuvu will leverage high-throughput Ku-band capacity on Eutelsat 10B to enhance its inflight connectivity services, including for a ‘major global airline’. The airline has not been named yet.
The Eutelsat 10B satellite, which entered service in July 2023, is located at 10° East, an orbital position that offers visibility spanning from the Americas to Asia. The all-electric satellite has a fifth-generation digital transparent processor, which enables flexible capacity allocation and optimal spectrum use, and carries multi-beam HTS Ku-band payloads tailored to the mobile connectivity sector.
Tim Southard, VP, network at Anuvu said of the contract, “The high power and vast coverage area of the Eutelsat 10B satellite is ideal for Anuvu’s Dedicated Space to achieve peak performance across the Middle East and Europe. They’re enabling our platform to achieve its highest ability.”
