We’re ViaSat

ViaSat is a global communications company ensuring people can stay connected whether they’re on the ground, in the air or at sea. We’re doing what others in the communications industry view as impossible like enabling families living in the most remote parts of the world to stream movies in 4K, bringing internet access to rural villages for the first time, or allowing those that live in city centers to have more choice for how they enjoy the internet; we’re enabling passengers and operations crews to stream high-bandwidth multimedia when flying at 35,000 feet or when sailing in the middle of the Ocean; and we’re empowering our warfighters on the front lines of battle with real-time, secure communications for critically-important intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. We deliver and protect information – when and where it is needed most – with our trusted communications network.

Bringing high-quality communications and connectivity to the world is no small feat. We’re one team, 4,500 strong and growing, brought together by a shared curiosity and a shared interest to find a better way to bring the world the connections that matter. We’re breaking preconceived notions, using fearless innovation and redefining what’s possible by building the ultimate communications network. This network centers on our ultra-high capacity communications satellites and uses our advanced encryption and cyber technologies coupled with both our ground- and virtualized-based infrastructures to seamlessly tie into our international network of managed Wi-Fi hotspots to deliver a best available network that extends the reach and accessibility needed of broadband internet service, globally.

We think big, we act intelligently, and we’re not done…we’re just beginning

What Inspires Us

Continuously growing demand for broadband is indisputable; with total global bandwidth consumption doubling every two to three years. In 2010, 1.8 billion people were connected. That number would increase to 3 billion in 2017. And by 2025, the hope would be for the remaining 8+ billion people on the planet to all be connected – leaving the notion of the digital divide behind.

We are inspired to connect the world daily, and have set out to advance global connectivity beyond what traditional telecom, wireless, cable or fiber could deliver. This mission would lead us on a journey to use bold, innovative thinking in pursuit of solving one of the hardest communications problems: making the internet accessible and affordable to all.

We have a long history, 30+ years, of making bold commitments, then delivering on them – to our customers, our shareholders, and ourselves. We are bringing the same high-quality connections to individuals and families as we do to critical business, government, and military around the world.

In 2017, we unveiled ViaSat-2 – a satellite system so unique it would be the catalyst for connecting continents, people and places. It is the precursor to delivering ultimate internet experiences anywhere on the planet, where continuous, high-speed global connectivity is not a theory but a fact.

By 2019, we will begin to launch the world’s first a global broadband network. This network will be based on ViaSat-3, a next-generation, ultra-high capacity satellite constellation that will deliver the only affordable, high-speed, high-quality continuous internet and streaming service. Once fully deployed, the ViaSat-3 network will have three times the total combined network capacity of the approximate 400 commercial communications satellites in space today, and will deliver fiber-like speeds to consumers, businesses and military, anywhere.

Why ViaSat

Simply put: We have the ambition and the ability to connect people anywhere with the information and experiences that matter most. We’re passionate about tackling tough, valuable, high-impact communications challenges – with focus and resolve. We’re overcoming traditional communications barriers to help everyone and everything connect. And we reject business as usual to deliver something unconventional (and awesome). When you’re launching groundbreaking technologies and bringing fast secure broadband to people anywhere…that’s what it takes.
