Border Security

Communicating from distant frontiers can sometimes be as difficult as reaching the borders themselves. Viasat connects the world's borders.

Our global constellation of satellites delivers seamless broadband data and high-quality voice services worldwide, to border security officials and agents operating on land, at sea and in the air.

The complexities of border protection have grown exponentially. Border protection agencies now need to contend with issues such as:

• An increase in international trade and customs concerns spawned by the growth in e-commerce
• Amplified focus on disease control and international transfer
• Regional incursions on territorial waters and airspace

This is in addition to more traditional concerns such illegal fishing, drug trafficking, illegal immigration and coastguard emergencies. With Viasat global satellite coverage, maritime border agencies can securely monitor and survey far beyond their own borders, as well as assisting in multinational operations to counter piracy, drug smuggling and human trafficking.

In an increasingly connected world, we help operational teams stay in contact with home ensuring that crew welfare systems are as seamless to the end user as they have always been to operators in the command and control space.
