What it does

Viasat is an American satellite communications company that sells managed connectivity to governments, airlines, ships and enterprises across L-, Ku- and Ka-band, using its own ViaSat-3 satellites and ground network plus capacity bought from others. It acquired Inmarsat in 2023.

Why it matters

Viasat is the incumbent in government and mobility satellite communications, and much of the US military's commercial satcom runs through contracts like its Marine Corps award. It appears on this map as the established connectivity layer that new LEO entrants are competing against; AI is not part of what it sells.

How it makes money

Defense agencies, airlines, maritime operators and enterprises pay Viasat for managed satellite connectivity services and terminals.
