Both deals include acquisition of satellite capacity by Hughes, which will be used to expand its Ka-band broadband services across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. <br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hughes will supply Avanti with 48 advanced Ka-band system gateways for Hylas 2, scheduled for launch in 2012, raising the total gateways for both Hylas satellites to 56. The Ka-band architecture aims to enable efficient delivery of bandwidth-demanding services, such as digital signage and distance learning for enterprises, and large-scale, high-speed Internet services for Avanti\u2019s consumers and small business customers. <br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hughes said the deal also opens up new potential for government and defense applications throughout the region, as Hylas 1 and 2 have the capacity to serve a population of about 1 million broadband sites combined.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cThis is the second stage of an exciting win-win agreement with Avanti. \u2026 It positions us to rapidly expand Ka-band services across Europe and the Middle East,\u201d Hughes CEO Pradman Kaul said in a statement.<\/p>\n<h2>Related Stories-<\/h2>\n<p>\n<b class=\"titlelink\">Avanti Wins Government Contract Extension in Northern  Ireland<\/b>&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tSatellite Today&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tMarch 30, 2010<br \/>\n[03-30-10] Avanti  Communications has won a satellite broadband contract extension with  Northern Ireland s Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, the  company announced March 29.
