Overview

More bandwidth and throughput to satisfy every customer

Continuously growing demand for broadband is indisputable. Total global bandwidth consumption is doubling every two to three years. Our purpose-built, high-capacity satellite systems are designed to grow with that demand, providing more bandwidth capacity and throughput with higher internet service speeds, quality and reliability. Join us as we celebrate the launch of our latest ViaSat-2 satellite designed to significantly improve speeds, reduce costs and expand the footprint of broadband services across North America, Central America, the Caribbean and a portion of northern South America.

Future networks must be simple and intuitive, have open interfaces, be bearer agnostic, and contain the required features to ensure a secure and reliable connection to enable joint interoperable mission applications. 

 

According to the US Army’s Modernization Strategy,  “The modernization of Army network technologies is necessary to command and control forces distributed across vast terrain, converge effects from multiple domains, and maintain a common situational understanding in MDO.”

 

These networks must also handle the complexities of various technologies, connectivity, and security options. This webinar will explore the capability gaps of the Integrated Tactical Network as it relates to high resiliency, capacity and ease of use.


This webinar originally aired on October 13, 2020.
