Telesat Government Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of leading satellite operator Telesat, provides the reliable and secure global communications network that the U.S. government and allies require – and the information superiority and mission assurance they demand. Leveraging our state-of-the-art satellite fleet, our secure and responsive global network offers resilient infrastructure; real-time operation management; and morale, welfare and recreation connectivity for remote personnel on long-term assignments.

Telesat Lightspeed™, our advanced, global Low Earth Orbit network, will soon offer unparalleled survivable and assured network connectivity. The system will leverage commercial LEO satellites and Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) for integrated, hybrid MilSatCom networking which, combined with Telesat’s longstanding engineering excellence, will deliver secure, reliable and cost-effective global connectivity for government and defense applications.
