Avanti Communications Group has formed a partnership Isotropic Systems to develop self-installing, all electronic scanning terminals. Isotropic will customize the terminals specifically to Avanti’s requirements with a special focus on seamless multi-beam tracking, instantaneous bandwidth as well as significantly lower pricing. The technology will also provide Avanti with the capability to deliver fixed broadband services that consume 90 percent less power. A working prototype is expected in early 2019 and full scale production by mid 2020.
