OTTAWA, CANADA – July 2, 2026 – Telesat GEO Inc., a subsidiary of Telesat Corporation (Nasdaq and TSX: TSAT), one of the world’s largest and most innovative satellite operators, today announced the company is donating high-power satellite capacity to Top Comunications, a leading Venezuelan telecommunications company, to support disaster recovery efforts in Venezuela following last week’s devastating earthquakes.
