The BBC have filmed a short video about the construction of the HYLAS Satellite that is being built for Avanti Communications.
Their Satellite is going to be used to help deliver the minimum 2Mb broadband that is called for by the government for broadband in the UK by 2012.
The Satellite is set to launch later this year and will be a dedicated broadband satellite for Europe. The Avanti satellite will be able to provide satellite broadband to around 350,000 homes in the UK at the minimum 2Mb broadband speed.
The satellite will use the Ka-band of radio frequency which is able to send a more focused beam to Earth.
The Digital Britain Report is due out today where more details about the delivery of broadband in the UK will be talked about.
