Viasat launched commercial service for its ViaSat-3 F3 ultra-high-capacity satellite over the Asia-Pacific region.
The satellite provides over 1 terabit per second (Tbps) of throughput. This milestone marks the start of revenue-generating operations for the spacecraft. The deployment more than doubles Viasat's existing satellite fleet bandwidth.
The company is targeting underpenetrated and high-demand markets with this capacity. Flexible throughput can be directed to high-traffic aviation and maritime corridors. The service supports both commercial and government customers.
ViaSat-3 F3 is the second of three next-generation satellites to become operational. The ViaSat-3 F1 satellite has been in service since 2024. The final satellite in the constellation, ViaSat-3 F2, will enter service over the Americas soon.
