ViaSat Inc. VSAT
will provide broadband airborne satcom services for a U.S. government customer
under a contract award valued at $52 million. The one year contract is a
renewal for services already provided using ViaSat ArcLight® technology over a
managed private network established in 2009 to support military missions for
the War on Terror.
ViaSat mobile broadband systems are designed to provide high-speed, beyond
line-of-sight (BLOS) communications for media-rich ISR, C2, and other
applications. Typical operational data rates range from 1 to 8 Mbps off the
aircraft using Ku- and Ka-band satcom links. These systems are flown on over
300 government aircraft such as the C-130, C-17, U-28, and various King Air
models, accumulating over 500,000 mission hours.
These same terminals can operate seamlessly on the global Yonder® satellite
network. In addition, ViaSat offers higher priority regional service overlays
to Yonder network coverage with a range of connectivity and performance
options.
