May 02 2024 - 12:27PM
FMC GlobalSat ("FMC"), a leading provider of satellite and wireless
connectivity solutions worldwide, proudly announces the successful
acquisition of Anuvu’s Maritime, Enterprise, and Government
connectivity businesses ("MEG"). Anuvu will retain ownership of its
Maritime Entertainment business unit “MTN-TV”.
Originally established as MTN Satellite
Communications, Anuvu’s MEG businesses boast over three decades of
expertise as a premier satellite network integrator. Renowned for
its cutting-edge technology, engineering prowess, and numerous
industry accolades, Anuvu has served as a trusted connectivity
partner to nearly 4,000 terrestrial and maritime customer locations
and millions of users across the globe.
With headquarters in the US and operational
bases in Brazil, Spain, and Norway, Anuvu’s unwavering commitment
to excellence has earned it a distinguished reputation in the
industry. FMC's acquisition not only expands its industrial and
geographical reach but also adds significant value through Anuvu’s
established brand and core competencies.
This acquisition marks a significant stride
towards FMC's vision of achieving network convergence between
satellite and terrestrial networks. It also addresses the
burgeoning demand for data consumption over 5G wireless,
terrestrial fiber, and facilitates customer transitions to
broadband satellite networks, including Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
systems like Starlink.
Emmanuel Cotrel, Chief Executive Officer
of FMC, commented: "We are pleased to announce the inclusion
of Anuvu's Maritime, Energy and Government Connectivity units into
the FMC family. With its distinguished legacy, skilled workforce,
and prominent standing in the global satellite sector, Anuvu brings
invaluable assets to our network. Our commitment is to enhance and
expand upon Anuvu’s infrastructure, leveraging its unique resources
and exceptional human capital to consistently provide innovative
and cost-effective connectivity solutions to our clientele. We hold
a positive outlook on Anuvu’s potential for accelerated growth,
innovation, and sustained leadership, especially in response to the
evolving landscape of LEO satellite deployment and the increasing
demand for efficient and high-speed broadband solutions."
Anuvu CEO, Joshua Marks, commented: "This
strategic transaction allows both FMC and Anuvu to focus on and
grow our core markets. FMC has an astute understanding of the
connectivity landscape as well as the vision and resources to
accelerate growth. We are confident they will drive innovation and
value for Maritime, Energy and Government customers. Anuvu will
continue to deliver exceptional experiences within inflight
connectivity as well as inflight and maritime entertainment.”
Going forward, the acquired business will
operate under the original MTN brand, further solidifying FMC's
position as a leader in satellite and wireless connectivity
solutions.
