From the skies above us to the oceans around us, and everywhere in between, our connectivity is enabling people, businesses, and communities to achieve extraordinary things.
But technology is only part of the story.
Around the World with Viasat is a global film series, partnering with local creators to uncover the people, ideas, and moments that show what's possible when the world stays connected.
Real stories, real impact
What if connectivity could continue wherever the road takes you?
Satellite-connected cars are no longer a vision of the future. They are becoming a reality.
For drivers, it means knowing that help is always within reach – even when the signal isn't. No bars, no bother: wherever the road leads, that safety net is always there.
Watch a first-ever demonstration of Viasat's Direct-to-Automotive (D2A) capabilities, integrated directly into the dashboard of a BMW. The research project showcases what might be possible for drivers in the future when innovation meets real-world challenges and how satellite connectivity could provide a critical safety lifeline beyond terrestrial coverage.
This really feels like a safety net that all modern cars should incorporate.
