The ViaSat-3 constellation is expected to help bring virtually continuous coverage to nearly all the populated world
The ViaSat-3 constellation is expected to help bring virtually continuous coverage to nearly all the populated world
The ViaSat-3 constellation is expected to help foster digital inclusion around the world for many of the 2.7 billion people who are currently unserved or underserved.

Our network is expected to be available to 99% of the populated world, bringing high-quality, affordable connectivity to people, businesses, and communities — delivering satellite internet to remote communities, connecting militaries in real-time on the battlefield, enabling satellite-to-satellite networking for global,  on-demand data access, and providing connectivity for global land, air, and sea routes.
ViaSat-3 is clearly about connecting everyone everywhere, but it's more than that. It's enabling everyone everywhere. That's what digital inclusion is about. It's about enabling people no matter where they are to have access to tools and resources.
Nearly 3 billion people do not have access to broadband or can't afford it. Once we’ve launched the entire constellation, we're going to have the ability to provide connectivity to just about all 3 billion of those people.
We can make a huge difference in how the world responds to emergencies; one of the first things a natural disaster takes out is the communication networks. But when you have the capability of a ViaSat-3 constellation you can put up a dish very quickly to connect to a satellite, to help save lives and help communities rebuild.
It’s going to be a game changer, being able to support so many diverse markets in so many different geographic locations. It's the breadth and magnitude of what we can do as we get global coverage.
It's an alarming statistic when you hear two thirds of the Earth's schoolchildren are without internet connectivity. Digital inclusion means bridging the gap between individuals that don't necessarily have connectivity or otherwise would not have it.
There are more international companies than ever before — and governments and militaries are looking at global battlefields. The ability to connect through the same network, on the same platform, regardless of where you are, is huge.
