ViaSat Answers Demand for Ever Higher Data Capacity
Already providing Ku-band capacity for much of the globe, satellite communications pioneers ViaSat is expanding its high-capacity Ka-band coverage.

Satellite specialist ViaSat is growing its Exede in the Air Ka-band satellite communications coverage to offer huge data capacity across an increasing area of the globe, enabling both airline and business aircraft passengers to access the kind of connectivity that has become commonplace in everyday life. “We’re focused on providing the same experience in the air as on the ground,” said James Person, director of global business development. “We need to match an exponential demand for data.”

For more than a decade ViaSat has supplied Ku-band connectivity, provided for much of the globe through its Yonder brand. Moving to Ka-band allows for far greater capacity, and the company is expanding its coverage both in terms of area and in data delivery rate.
