[SatNews] Globecomm has extended their satellite broadband coverage in South Africa with Avanti—this collaboration will provide connectivity to enterprise customers via the HYLAS 2 satellite.
 
Globecomm Systems announced this contract extension with Avanti to deploy satellite broadband services to thousands of businesses in South Africa.

As advocates of Ka-band satellite for some time we are very pleased to be extending broadband reach into South Africa through our latest partnership.”
