ViaSat, a US-based global broadband services and technology company, in partnership with Boeing, has unveiled the ViaSat-3 Satellite – an ultra-high capacity satellite capable of providing 100+ Mbps broadband to any home.
The ViaSat-3 Satellite platform is comprised of three ViaSat-3 class satellites with state-of-the-art ground network infrastructure. It boasts a network capacity of over 1 Terabit per second which, according to the company, is equal to the total capacity of all commercial satellites in space today.
The ViaSat-3 platform aims to serve its customers by:
• Delivering a 100+ Megabit per second (Mbps) residential internet service, enabling 4K ultra-high definition video streaming;
• Supporting each aircraft with hundreds of Mbps of in-flight connectivity services and video streaming for commercial airlines, business jets and high-value government aircraft;
• Providing up to 1-Gigabit per second (Gbps) speeds for use in maritime, oceanic and other corporate enterprise applications such as oil and gas platforms; and
• Offering affordable satellite Wi-Fi connectivity to the billions of unconnected people in emerging markets.
ViaSat and Boeing Satellite Systems are already working on the first two ViaSat-3 satellites, and is expected to launch by 2019.The first two satellites will focus on the Americas and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), respectively, with a third satellite system planned for the Asia Pacific region, completing ViaSat’s global service coverage.
How much
100+ mbps kung walang clouds…e kung meron ilan nalang kaya.
Nice, global service ftw.
Matagal nang may ganyang service ang Iridium Satellite. Sobrang mahal lang talaga ng service. As in mahal. Kaya expected ko mahal din ito.
2019. Too far into the future. Are they still competitive by then? Where are we 5 years ago?
