On-demand, managed L-Band service offers a
cost-effective, flexible solution for government mobile
users
CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 4,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viasat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a
global leader in satellite communications, today introduced
Enhanced LAISR, its global mobility, on-demand managed L-band
service offering communications flexibility for airborne, maritime
and land users worldwide. It will deliver highly available,
flexible, on-demand capabilities enabled by Viasat's seamless,
global L-band space and ground network.
The award-winning L-band Airborne Intelligence,
Surveillance and Reconnaissance (LAISR) solution was developed to
meet specific government requirements. It delivers cost-effective,
high-speed beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) satellite communications
(SATCOM) connectivity for mobile platforms via low size, weight and
power (SWaP) user terminals. Military operations benefit from
all-weather resilience and 99.9 percent network reliability.
As government organizations increasingly rely on highly mobile
crewed and uncrewed Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
(ISR) missions worldwide, they need reliable, consistent SATCOM
connectivity to transmit large volumes of data. Enhanced LAISR
service will deliver on-demand, managed L-band network access to
customers around the world, ensuring users can access the service
whenever and wherever it is needed.
Customers will use the new Enhanced L-band Maritime Antenna
(ELMA) and soon-to-be available LAISR-COTM (comms-on-the-move)
terminal to connect to Enhanced LAISR services. Additional
terminals are in development to provide access to the Enhanced
LAISR service and deliver reliable, high-speed, seamless
connectivity and uniform global capabilities via a further reduced
SWaP form factor.
Steve Gizinski, Chief Technology
Officer of Viasat Government, said, "Enhanced LAISR is the latest
example of Viasat's continuous focus on enhancing terminals and
services to deliver additional value and resilience to our
government customers as their needs evolve. With Enhanced LAISR, we
are expanding upon the proven LAISR capability and our robust
service level agreements to provide a highly flexible and
accessible service to support crewed and uncrewed ISR missions
worldwide."
