U.S Government Refurbishes ViaSat Broadband Airborne Satcom Services Contract

Direct Broadcast Satellite company ViaSat will be providing broadband airborne satcom services to a customer from the U.S government, under a valued $52 million one year contract.

This renewal is for the services established back in 2009 which made use of ViaSat ArcLight technology over a managed private network to support military mission for the War on Terror. The systems of ViaSat mobile broadband are specifically created to provide media-rich ISR, C2, as well as other applications with high-speed, beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) communications. Typical operational data rates utilize Ku- and Ka-band satcom links and range from one to eight Mbps off over 300 government aircraft.

The same terminals can function on the Yonder global satellite network, giving the network a higher priority regional service overlays with a variety of performance and connectivity options.
