We believe Low-Earth orbit needs particular attention because it’s the area where most satellites are now being launched, and we risk saturating the capacity of those orbits within this decade, which could lead to:

Explore how Viasat operates and serves customers in the countries below:
Viasat has a long history of working with governments around the world when disaster strikes. For example, when Mount Mayon in the Philippines started showing signs of an impending eruption, Viasat quickly set up internet service and hotspots to aid with the recovery and restoration.
When a 6.6 magnitude earthquake rumbled Turkey, Viasat provided indispensable internet access. Canada was able to use Viasat satellite technology to contain oil spills and Australia has used Viasat technology to scan for wildfires. Additionally, countries like Germany and Indonesia have used Viasat’s network for disaster preparation exercises.
From building satellite payloads, to serving customers on land, in the air, and at sea, Viasat’s teams across the United States support all areas of the business. Viasat were recently awarded a contract by the United States Space Force for the development of next-generation laser communication terminal prototypes—kicking off the first phase of a potential $100 million program dubbed Enterprise Space Terminal.
The project, part of the Space Systems Command’s initiative, aims to revolutionize secure and resilient space communications using laser technology.
As the maritime industry gets increasingly digitalized, more and more shipping companies are upgrading their satellite communications services and adopting new technologies to enable digitalisation, decarbonisation and crew welfare.
That’s where Viasat’s Inmarsat Maritime business comes into play. Viasat provide unrivalled end-to-end maritime connectivity services customers can rely on.
In India, Viasat recently demonstrated two-way messaging and SoS messaging using a commercial Android smartphone enabled for non-terrestrial network (NTN) connectivity in a trial
The messages were sent roughly 36,000km to one of Viasat's geostationary L-band satellites. The outcome proves satellite services to cell phone connectivity is technically feasible for Indian consumers and businesses using Viasat's satellite network
In Brazil, Viasat is providing satellite internet to schools in remote Amazon regions, supporting both digital education, and digital inclusion initiatives across the country.
