ViaSat-2 SATCOM services now available
ViaSat's newly-launched ViaSat-2 SATCOM service is now available for government and military applications, Viasat announced on 30 May.
The ultra-high-capacity ViaSat-2 offers improved reach, readiness and resiliency for military operators. The company recently conducted its first defence-focused ViaSat-2 system demonstration showing cloud-based applications and services delivered over Viasat’s secure, resilient SATCOM network in Canada.
ViaSat-2 enables bandwidth-intensive, media-rich cloud applications; information assurance; and defence against electromagnetic, terrestrial or cyber attacks. Fast data rates and more satellite capacity enable 4K and HD video streaming to thousands of electronic devices simultaneously for greater operational capabilities.
ViaSat's hybrid adaptive network (HAN) concept provides a global, redundant system for operators to access ViaSat's global Ku-band and Ka-band networks, as well as the Mercury Global Project/Wideband Global SATCOM system. ViaSat’s HAN allows terminals to roam across multiple networks to maximise resilience and collaboration for ground fixed, transportable, mobile, maritime and airborne platforms.
