LA PLATA, Maryland — Viasat Inc. said it’s in discussions with multiple regional satellite operators with mobile satellite service (MSS) spectrum that want the advantages of a global constellation that they cannot afford on their own, with the guarantees of sovereignty that their governments demand.
The thesis of Viasat’s Equatys joint venture with Space42 of the United Arab is to offer these operators the efficiencies of a global network without surrendering national control of how the spectrum is used in their territories.
