An update on the ViaSat-3 project with Dave Ryan

As president of Viasat’s Space Systems division, Dave Ryan is overseeing the ViaSat-3 project, which will create a three-satellite constellation of satellites affording global internet coverage. In this episode of the Viasat podcast, we asked Ryan how the project is coming along and touched on a few other topics:

• How Viasat is designing the entire system in a vertically integrated manner that should result in each satellite having over 1 terabit/sec of capacity.
• The advantages of using large satellites in geostationary orbit that can provide complete earth coverage with just three satellites.
• The changing role of satellites and the growing demand for capacity.
• How the ViaSat-3 constellation’s flexibility will enable it to shift capacity more effectively than any of our other satellites.

Viasat CFO Shawn Duffy on satellite investments

Building and launching three satellites spanning the globe is no small financial feat, something Viasat’s Chief Financial Officer Shawn Duffy can confirm. In this podcast, we asked Duffy what makes the ViaSat-3 constellation a smart investment, and how geostationary orbits provide advantages over satellites in other, lower orbits. Additionally, Duffy discusses Viasat’s unique and diverse business strategy and how that helps drive the company’s success.

With some contract issues now cleared up, Viasat has been able to step up the pace in its partnership with Telebras — Brazil’s state-run telecom. In addition to thousands of installations already completed at schools, health centers and other government facilities in Brazil, work is underway to add more types of connectivity services around the country using Brazil’s SGDC-1 satellite.

A look at the digital transformations ahead with Viasat CTO Girish Chandran (Part 2)

As Viasat’s Chief Technology Officer, Girish Chandran spends a lot of time thinking about the future of the connected world. In this podcast, which will appear in two parts, we spoke to Chandran about how satellite communications technology from Viasat will be an integral part of the digital ecosystem in the years to come.

Whether it’s connected cars, ships, trains, or aircraft, satellite will have a role in most of the “smart” technologies either in the future or already in use today.
