Frequently asked questions

These are ground-based antenna communication systems, typically ranging in size from 2.4m to 24m, that transmit and receive signals between Earth and orbiting satellites across GEO, MEO, LEO, and HEO constellations. Viasat has expertise with antenna systems across all sizes and constellations.

Secure ISR antenna systems incorporate encryption, anti-jam capabilities, and protected network architectures. These features ensure sensitive intelligence data is transmitted reliably and protected against interference or unauthorized access. Viasat works confidentially with each client to customize desired antenna system capabilities for ISR missions.

Reliable Real-Time Earth data delivery depends on antenna system performance, global deployment, network integration, and system resilience. Proven architectures and end-to-end integration are key to maintaining continuous, high-quality data flow.
