Avanti Communications redefines high speed satellite broadband
in rural France
Avanti Communications and Numerisat bring broadband connectivity
to ski resorts and chalets across the Alpes, including Wi-Fi
hotspots for La Grande Odyssée event visitors
Avanti Communications Group plc ("Avanti"), a leading provider
of satellite data communications services in Europe, the Middle
East and Africa (EMEA), and French Satellite Service Provider
(SSP), Numerisat, bring 30Mbps broadband speeds to ski resorts and
chalets, as well as the renowned skiing event La Grande Odyssée,
across the Alpes. Numerisat is the first SSP to bring Avanti's
market leading 30Mbps service to French consumers and professional
services customers, addressing the connectivity needs of the 24% of
the population still unable to access the internet[1].
Numerisat offers service packages with monthly data allowances
ranging from 10GB to 250GB. Across the Alpine regions of France,
there is particularly high demand for both consumer and business
packages alike. Utilising Avanti's high speed connectivity of
30Mbps and flexible billing system, seasonal demand from ski
chalets and tourism businesses is able to be accommodated even in
the most rural locations.
In addition, Numerisat is proud to have provided Wi-Fi hotspot
connectivity to visitors at the international race, La Grande
Odyssée. Using Wi-Fi extension technology, visitors at the rural
event in mountainous terrain were able to quickly and effectively
connect to Avanti's broadband service, enabling social interaction
and coverage of the event from visitors themselves. Numerisat is
also currently working closely with the Olympic Committee of Isere
in the Alpes, bringing connectivity to their offices enabling vital
daily activities to be completed in rural locations.
Dider Flaender, President of Numerisat, commented: "With the
Avanti product, we now supply the fastest satellite speeds in
France. Limited availability of capacity and high demand in some
regions means now is the right time to bring Avanti's reliable and
high speed product to the market. We are thrilled to be bringing
services to consumers and businesses as well as great events such
as La Grande Odyssée Savoie MontBlanc."
David Williams, CEO of Avanti, said: "We are pleased to work
with Numerisat in delivering France's fastest satellite broadband
service to their high volume and valued customers. In particular
our service is proving extremely popular in the Alpine region,
generating high levels of interest and demand. It's a great example
of how the quality of the technology wins in the toughest
environments."
