Avanti Communications (“Avanti”), the leading provider of high
throughput satellite capacity across EMEA, and Clear Blue
Technologies International Inc. (“Clear Blue”) (TSXV: CBLU)
(FRA:0YA) (OTCQB: CBUTF), the Smart Off-Grid Company™, announce an
agreement, signed on August 19, 2022, under which Clear Blue will
provide Smart Off-Grid Power for Avanti’s e-learning services
in Africa.
Avanti and its eLearning partners plan to deliver satellite
connectivity to enable eLearning for an initial 3,000-5,000 schools
across Sub-Saharan Africa. Clear Blue will be the exclusive
off-grid power provider for Avanti’s eEducation services. This
program aims to deliver improved educational outcomes in maths,
literacy, and life skills for marginalized children in the
region.
Toby Robinson, Chief of Strategy & Business Development at
Avanti, commented: “At Avanti, we believe that every child deserves
the socioeconomic benefits of a more connected life, starting at
school. This partnership with Clear Blue will bring life-enhancing
educational services to underserved communities across the region.
Clear Blue’s Smart Off-Grid solves one of the biggest problems in
hard-to-reach areas – a lack of easy, low cost and reliable
power.”
Sub-Saharan Africa has more than 600 million school-aged
children and the lowest global mathematics and reading proficiency
rates. Led by Avanti Communications and its partners, iMlango was a
first-of-its-kind e-learning partnership created to deliver
improved educational outcomes in maths, literacy and life skills.
The project has been running for seven years and has delivered
improved educational outcomes for over 180,000 marginalised
schoolchildren in 245 schools in Northern Kenya. Avanti and its
partners are now working with Ministries of Education and NGO
funders across multiple countries in sub-Saharan Africa to roll out
the tried and tested iMlango approach to thousands of schools, with
the objective of improving the lives and educational outcomes for
millions of African children.
Avanti’s rural network coverage solution supports 2G, 3G, 4G and
Wi-Fi connectivity across Africa. As part of this initiative,
Avanti will provide critical connectivity services and VSAT
equipment. At the same time, Clear Blue shall provide its Smart
Off-Grid solar-powered solutions with remote management and control
to ensure maximum uptime of connectivity services necessary for
Avanti’s deployment of its integrated eLearning system(s). Clear
Blue’s Smart Off-Grid technology will also power the educational
equipment and systems. With initial pilots beginning in Q4 2022,
the rollout will continue from late 2023 through 2025.
“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Avanti into the
eEducation space,” said Miriam Tuerk, CEO and Co-founder of Clear
Blue Technologies. “This partnership helps Clear Blue’s target to
contribute to the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, one of
which is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and
promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. As we have built
ever stronger technical capabilities, our products will grow from
telecom systems into other verticals and applications. Africa is a
young continent with a large and growing population. As such, with
the UN Sustainability Goals at work, funding and deployment of
eEducation services is a large growth opportunity for Clear
Blue.”
