Avanti Communications has announced the opening of a new flagship office in Ikoyi, Lagos.

As the number one high throughput satellite company in Africa, Avanti’s new office will become a hub for employees across the continent.

The Heritage Place office is Nigeria’s first environmentally certified commercial building, situated in a world-class development in Ikoyi, the commercial district which is home to global tech companies including Google and Oracle.

Avanti has ambitions to accelerate growth across the region through local partnerships and the rollout of connectivity solutions, with the mission for Africa to become its majority revenue source within the next two to three years.

This is a big moment for us at Avanti and something we have been looking forward to for some time. Africa is a major focus for us and this new office will help us continue to develop relationships on ground and connect even more communities. We currently have 20 employees in Nigeria and foresee that number growing rapidly as we continue to roll out connectivity at pace in the region. We are delighted to be neighbours with some of Nigeria’s finest businesses and see this new office as a huge opportunity to realise the full potential of all Nigeria has to offer.
