Mark Rogerson, CEO at Speedy Hire, said, “The flexibility of Avanti’s satellite technology has allowed us to tailor truly innovative data communication packages to meet the demands of our customers. Broadband connectivity is an exciting value-add proposition to the construction sector in particular, where sites are often remote and beyond the reach of fiber.”
 
Matthew O’Connor, Chief Operating Officer at Avanti Communications, said, “As the sector increasingly demands high speed communications on-site, our high-quality Ka-band technology will enable enterprises to remain connected, regardless of location. We look forward to imminent rollout across the UK.”
 
Speedy Hire operates in construction, infrastructure and industrial markets, with operations in the UK and Middle East.
