[Via Satellite 05-05-2014] Avonline Broadband has signed a multi-million dollar contract with satellite operator Avanti Communications, in a deal that will extend the company’s broadband solutions to its European consumer and enterprise customers. Avonline will offer broadband connections to be deployed over Avanti’s Hylas 1 and Hylas 2 satellites.

“We have worked closely to create a series of unique satellite broadband packages that are tailored to meet the specific service requirements of our growing customer base,” said Mark Wynn, managing director at Avonline. These packages provide an instant broadband solution for the important minority of homes and businesses that remain neglected and un-serviced by the traditional providers.”
