Resilient Connectivity for Defence Missions
Governments worldwide rely on Telesat’s state-of-the-art satellite fleet to provide mission-critical connectivity domestically and across the globe. Our secure, resilient infrastructure combined with fully managed end-to-end private networks support situational awareness, intelligence gathering and morale, welfare and recreation connectivity for troops – whether on land, in the air, or on the high seas.
Telesat Lightspeed™, our advanced, global Low Earth Orbit network, will soon provide unparalleled survivable and assured network connectivity. The network will leverage Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) and can dynamically allocate additional capacity to areas with high demand, ensuring secure, reliable and cost-effective global connectivity for government and defence applications.
Benefits
High Throughput
Gigabits per second speeds to a remote, and multiple Tbps of capacity in the network ensures enterprise-grade, secure connectivity for unconstrained full motion HD video dissemination, multi-spectral imagery, and command and control links.
True Global Coverage
Every point on earth is covered, including polar regions.
Low Latency
Our network is about 20-times more responsive than today’s geosynchronous satellites and on par with fiber networks. Government users can be confident that encrypted web pages and enterprise cloud applications will work seamlessly.
High Capacity
Our intelligent network can dynamically allocate bandwidth to theaters of operations with high traffic demand.
Assured Access
Highly resilient network with multiple interconnected satellites and ground nodes without any single point of failure ensures networks always stay connected.
Quick Service Deployment
Compliant with Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) standards for seamless plug and play integration.
