With the only FCC-approved Ku-band mobile broadband service on the market, we’re able to provide you services with higher speeds and lower costs. You’ll find a number of advantages over other mobile satellite services that bill themselves as broadband:

• Lower cost-per-bit because there’s more system capacity: your transmission charges reduced by a factor of 5 to 10 compared with alternative services.
• Very small antennas that fit the low profile, low weight and low cost requirements of mobile.
• Megabit speeds comparable to cable modem or DSL service, rather than just a few hundred kilobits per second.
• Quicker response (lower latency) because of random access availability of the channel.
• Roll out quickly with no terrestrial infrastructure required, unlike EV-DO or WiMaxx.
• No cabin wiring: creates an in-cabin wireless hot spot

• ARINC SKYLink global in-flight broadband for business jets at download rates as fast as 3 Mbps and data transmission rates as fast as 512 kbps.
• KVH Industries mini-VSAT maritime service to a 24" marine terminal at download rates as fast as 2 Mbps and data transmission rates as fast as 512 kbps.

ArcLight Technology Makes The Difference

The ViaSat ArcLight® intelligent spread spectrum modem technology overcomes the challenge of getting high-speed data to moving platforms by enabling use of a low-cost, very small antenna that mimics a larger antenna aperture. The system co-exists with other services using the same frequency bands, maintains sufficient capacity for large numbers of network members, and eliminates blocked signals caused by line-of-sight (even helicopter blade) obstructions. And patented PCMA (Paired Carrier Multiple Access) enables essentially free return links using the same bandwidth as the broadcast signal to the plane, vessel or vehicle. Imagine the savings.
