ViaSat expands Ku-band satellite capacity through four new contracts


A quartet of new contracts will expand the total Ku-band satellite capacity of ViaSat Inc.'s global mobility network by more than 60 percent.

ViaSat will reserve this additional bandwidth for government and general aviation business growth as well as providing high data rates for customers in the mobile satellite communications market.

The current expansion phase is an overlay to ViaSat's mobile network in important regions around the world. The additional satellite bandwidth will not only improve baseline broadband performance; it will also create a foundation for future service plans.

ViaSat will elaborate on the regional coverage and availability of its expanded Ku-band satellite capacity within February 2013 at the earliest.

The Company recently delivered its 500th VR-12 satellite terminal. General aviation and government mobility markets have relied upon the ultra-small aperture system to accomplish “office in the sky” business applications, while military customers use them for enroute Command & Control and ISR services.
