Augment your WGS capability with our high capacity payload (HCP)
Viasat’s Global Xpress is a global commercial network that is interoperable with MILSATCOM Ka-band networks, providing resilient, cost-effective augmentation. Global Xpress high capacity steerable beams, operating in the military Ka-band, allow authorized military users to access reliable and highly available wideband capacity as part of their own independent network. Global Xpress is the first global commercial network that is interoperable with MILSATCOM Ka-band networks, providing resilient, cost-effective augmentation. Global Xpress high-capacity steerable beams, operating in the military Ka-band, allow authorized military users to access reliable and highly available wideband capacity as part of their own independent network.
Global Xpress offers two quite different service propositions. The services are enabled by two complementary payloads on-board each of the GX satellites in Viasat’s constellation:
Global Service Beams and their associated satellite payload that underpin the provision of managed services across the patchwork of 89 beams on each satellite and allow users to seamlessly roam and deploy anywhere in the world within the GX footprint.
High Capacity Payload Users can access Global Xpress Mil-Ka wideband capacity with terminals that are fully compatible with military satellite systems, such as the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) system, to fulfill their requirements and enhance their flexibility of operations cost-effectively.
Global Xpress high capacity steerable beams operating in the military Ka-band allow NATO and Five Eyes military users to access reliable and highly available wideband capacity as part of their own independent network, in the same frequency band as national systems. Military Ka-band beams operate in loopback or connect into Viasat or government-owned Satellite Access Stations.
