Large telecom constellation programs from LeoSat, Telesat, and SpaceX anticipate using optical intersatellite links.
Global Eagle will test a newly developed Ka-band antenna with Telesat’s LEO satellite.
Global Eagle identifies Telesat’s consistent global coverage over the open ocean, polar regions, and high-latitude routes, sub-50-millisecond latency, and open architecture business model as advantages of Telesat’s LEO platform.
On 2020-05-15 Global Eagle and Telesat agreed to collaborate on designing user terminals, service offerings, and marketing plans for Telesat’s LEO constellation.
Telesat and Global Eagle will use Telesat’s Phase 1 LEO satellite to test connectivity for aviation and maritime users.
Telesat has not yet selected a manufacturer to build the operational satellites but plans to select one in the coming months to begin service by 2021.
Telesat is signing up multiple partners to test its demonstration satellite, including maritime connectivity provider OmniAccess and Australian fleet operator Optus.
A prototype satellite for Telesat’s LEO constellation built by Surrey Satellite Technology Limited is in orbit to test technologies and service provision.
Telesat operates 15 geostationary satellites, three of which have full 50-state coverage of the United States in C-band.
Telesat had CA$3,500,000,000 in long-term indebtedness as of 2018-03-31.
Telesat reported a CA$15,000,000 loss on CA$232,000,000 in revenue for the quarter, citing foreign exchange rates on U.S.-dollar denominated debt as the main reason.
Telesat’s cash and cash equivalents grew by 56 percent to CA$516,800,000 after 2018-03-31.
SpaceX, OneWeb, Telesat, LeoSat, and Kepler Communications are designing large LEO constellation satellites to use Ku-band and/or Ka-band.
