Viasat’s HaloNet: Continuous Near-Earth Communications for Space Ops
As LEO satellite numbers grow into the tens of thousands, maintaining reliable connectivity is a significant challenge for the space industry. Ground coverage gaps, spectrum bottlenecks, and NASA’s planned Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) retirement create both a communications cliff and an opportunity. Viasat, a global communications company, aims to fill this gap with HaloNet, its holistic space relay network, offering secure multi-band, multi-path connectivity and data transport solutions.
