The upgrade delivers bonded, multi-network connectivity with fast speeds, unlimited data, always-on performance and a secure-by-design platform that uses the ViaSat-3 ultra-high-capacity network. Evergreen says the move will improve crew welfare, strengthen cybersecurity, enable real-time reefer monitoring, predictive analytics and fully integrated IoT, and support the company’s digitalisation and growth plans.
Viasat (NASDAQ: VSAT) announced a unified global Ka-band satellite network for government SATCOM that integrates Viasat Ka-band satellites, the Global Xpress fleet, and select partner satellites into a single interoperable system.
The evolved network supports MILSATCOM Ka-band interoperability, roaming across multi-orbit Ka-band satellites, and single upgraded terminal access with data rates up to 200 Mbps on a 45cm or equivalent antenna. It uses integrated waveforms, upgraded gateways, electronically and mechanically steered beams, and ViaSat-3 ultra-high-capacity satellites for added bandwidth and redundancy; ViaSat-3 F2 is launched for the Americas and ViaSat-3 F3 is planned for Asia-Pacific.
Viasat (NASDAQ: VSAT) will provide its InRange rocket telemetry service for INNOSPACE's first commercial launch from Alcântara Launch Center, Brazil, targeted later this month (Dec 2025).
The HANBIT-Nano vehicle will carry eight registered payloads into LEO. InRange, part of Viasat's HaloNet portfolio, will offer continuous launch telemetry via L-band geostationary relay and, for the first commercial mission, aims to enable compressed video-streaming from the launch vehicle.
