Modem, waveforms, and satellite network systems

Viasat SATCOM modems deliver warfighters fast, secure access to information across all domains, operating over  X, C, Ku, Ka satellite bands and the following  waveforms: LinkWay, a full-mesh, bandwidth-on-demand MF-TDMA military waveform; EBEM, a point-to-point highly efficient FDMA waveform; and Arclight, a Hub-spoke  waveform, especially tailored for air and ground mobile platforms.
