Anuvu, formerly Global Eagle , plans to launch a constellation of small satellites in Geostationary Orbit (GEO), called MicroGEO, in partnership with Astranis.
Anuvu announced Tuesday that the companies are targeting launch for two MicroGEO satellites in early 2023, with six more to follow. These first two satellites will provide connectivity for Anuvu’s aviation and maritime customers over North America and the Caribbean. Anuvu said the first mobility customers to benefit in the North American and Caribbean regions will include Southwest Airlines, Disney Cruise Lines, and Norwegian Cruise Lines.
