About Viasat
Viasat is a global communications company that believes everyone, and everything can be connected.
For more than 30 years, Viasat innovations have helped shape how consumers, businesses, governments, and militaries around the world communicate — bringing connectivity when, where, and how it’s needed most.
Viasat focuses on the connections that matter as we deliver bold results for our customers, partners, and shareholders worldwide. We provide internet to communities and families in places around the world where cable or fiber isn’t available so they can learn, laugh, and live just like everyone else. We deliver secure, resilient connectivity services and solutions to our military and allies that give them the information dominance they need to bring warfighters home safely. We ensure people on-the-go have access to the same quality of internet in the air or at sea as they have at home. And we give businesses of all sizes the freedom to keep their people, places, and things secure and connected — wherever opportunity takes them.
