Discover the Telesat Lightspeed difference

Break down traditional network barriers

Seamlessly combine terrestrial and space networks to eliminate the connectivity barriers that restrict your progress and business success.

Telesat Lightspeed will be certified to the MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet standard. That means the network seamlessly integrates with terrestrial networks, extending their reach wherever needed with reliable and secure fibre-like performance in the sky.

Why is MEF certification important for LEO satellite networks?
