Virtual Satellite Networks

Vertical service providers and satellite service providers often face the challenge of embedding satellite connectivity into their solutions to deliver exceptional user experiences. For those with large user bases and unique needs, benefiting from the assurance and flexibility of a virtual satellite network with a Viasat connectivity lease can be a more sensible approach. Many early-stage satellite IoT service providers struggle to secure funding for launching their own satellite constellations, managing them throughout their lifecycle, and efficiently handling their end-of-life. Furthermore, covering the entire Earth with constellations is a feat only a few well-funded entities can achieve, and satellites in orbit must have filled capacity to be a sound investment. It’s difficult to ‘right-size’ growth, and large-scale CapEx outlays are often discouraged during growth phases. Viasat allows businesses to focus on their customers and differentiate their services, while leaving the complex satellite infrastructure management to their experienced experts. This approach accelerates business growth by removing the cost and complexity of developing and managing a proprietary satellite constellation. The Virtual Satellite service provides flexible access to dedicated bandwidth, capacity, and power, enabling customers to craft their own IoT hardware and software solutions with complete control over these parameters to meet global customer needs, all backed by reliable service and proactive, 360º cybersecurity protection.
