The accreditation will bring next-generation adaptable connectivity solutions to defence and security customers, enabling communications mobility in all domains

Global multi-orbit satellite provider, Avanti Communications (“Avanti”), today announces the accreditation of StarWin’s new Ka-band LeopardWin and Leopard terminals on its network.

The accreditations strengthen Avanti and StarWin’s commitment to providing resilient and adaptable connectivity solutions to government, military, and enterprise customers globally.

StarWin’s Ka-Band Leopard series of terminals provide users with high-speed data and reliable communications in any environment. It offers complete flexibility being fully interchangeable between vehicles (land or maritime) and static ground positions, providing options for both Communications On The Move (COTM) and Communications On The Pause (COTP). The VSAT terminals are compact in size and cost-effective, offering a range of unique and impressive capabilities.

This latest accreditation represents a significant milestone for the development of the satellite communications industry in providing seamless connectivity for customers operating in the most dynamic, unpredictable and remote environments. It follows Avanti and StarWin’s successful testing of the Electronically Steered Phased Array Antenna (ESA) terminal for COTM on Avanti’s HYLAS 4 Ka-band satellite in October 2023.

Donald Walker, Senior Vice President of Government and Defence, Avanti Communications, commented: “We know that flexible and resilient connectivity for our government and military customers is of the utmost importance. We’re pleased to be working in partnership with StarWin once more to strengthen our connectivity offerings and provide a flexible and trusted option to those who need it most.
