Viasat, Inc. said its ViaSat-3 F2 satellite entered service across the Americas. The company said the deployment expanded network capacity and related operational flexibility for connectivity delivery in the region.

Viasat framed the entry into service as part of completing the ViaSat-3 constellation. It said the constellation completion tripled bandwidth available across its global fleet, while providing scale and reach intended to support its aviation, maritime, government, and broadband customers.

The company said ViaSat-3 F2 provides more than one terabit per second of throughput capacity over the Americas. It also said beamforming dynamically allocates capacity to high-demand flight routes, shipping lanes, and geographic regions, and described capabilities aimed at resilience to interference. Viasat further said the satellite uses adaptive beamforming and is designed for cost efficiencies and user performance improvements on both forward and return links.

Viasat said ViaSat-3 F1 had already entered service, and ViaSat-3 F3 entered service across Asia-Pacific in August. Mark Dankberg, chairman and chief executive, said, “With the VS3 constellation now fully operational, we have substantially expanded our ability to deliver high-quality connectivity where demand is growing fastest and introduced new forms of resilience for our government and commercial customers,” said Mark Dankberg, Chairman and CEO of Viasat. The company added, “We also believe VS3 technology sets new commercial standards for solar power generation and thermal dissipation — both critical technology challenges for developing economical data centers in space.” The statement also included forward-looking language that results could differ from expectations related to the ViaSat-3 satellite platform’s performance and benefits.
