Telesat LEO demo satellite proves the use case for public safety

In Ontario, Canada, the Halton-Peel Public Safety Broadband Network (PSBN) Innovation Alliance successfully tested real-world public safety applications using Telesat’s LEO demonstration satellite.

"We were able to successfully demonstrate the practical use of remote vehicle and handheld dispatch, secure messaging, police records access, and our mission critical push to talk services – all performed over Telesat’s LEO communications link – a first for PSBN innovation in Canada."

- Bill Payne, Director of Information Technology, Halton Regional Police Service
