Anuvu, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Los Angeles, is a provider of connectivity and entertainment solutions primarily focused on the aviation and maritime industries. The company operates satellite networks designed to deliver services to cruise ships and airlines, enabling passenger connectivity and content delivery. Anuvu’s core business centers around providing the infrastructure and services needed for in-flight and at-sea entertainment and communication.

A key component of Anuvu’s offering is its MTN-TV platform, a maritime entertainment service currently available on 116 cruise ships.
