ViaSat-3 is satellite reimagined

Meet ViaSat-3, a next-generation constellation of three ultra-high-capacity, Ka-band satellites expected to increase our global coverage and network capacity to bring affordable, high-quality connectivity where, when, and how it's needed most. When fully operational, the network is expected to enable billions — in homes and businesses, on planes and at sea, and in communities that were once off the grid — to connect with the people and information they need.
