Avanti Communications Group, the satellite operator, has sold capacity on its HYLAS 2 satellite to InSat in a five year deal worth $7.3m.
Chief Executive of Avanti David Williams said: "We are now just a few months away from the launch of HYLAS 2 and I am pleased to note the capacity is selling well. Several beams are already close to full saturation and others are fully optioned.
