LeoSat hits major commercial milestone of US $1bn

The LeoSat constellation aims to provide seamless satellite-based VPN with ultra-low latency to grow data and mobility markets.

LeoSat Enterprises has announced a big milestone by securing commercial agreements valued at over US $1bn.  These pre-launch agreements span a wide range of fast-growing data and mobility sectors including enterprise, telecoms, government and finance.

Big data and cyber security are driving the need for new communications infrastructure. Data volumes are exploding with more data carried in the past two years than in the in the entire history of the human race. Global networks are already carrying more than 1 Zeta Byte of traffic and this is forecast to grow exponentially. This is having a lasting effect on the satellite communications industry, with the need to invest in and deploy resilient and future-proof networks to deliver connectivity and services.

“We believe that LeoSat can truly fuel worldwide economic growth by offering our customers the fastest, most reliable and secure global infrastructure for data communications. These commercial agreements valued at over US$1Billion clearly demonstrate LeoSat’s progression from a new networking concept to a unique solution which not only resonates with our customers but has also attracted the firm backing of two leading satellite companies – SKY Perfect JSAT and Hispasat,” commented Mark Rigolle, CEO of LeoSat Enterprises.

In recent months, LeoSat also announced the first details in the development of the ground system with an agreement with Phasor Solutions, the developer of leading, enterprise-grade electronically-steered antenna (ESA) systems.

Mark Rigolle, added: “Whilst the perception of satellite for data communications is often seen as a last resort, LeoSat will change that by pairing the speed of fiber with the ubiquity of satellite and adding a new dimension of ultra-security. We will not only bring a paradigm shift in expanding the existing satellite services market, we will open up new markets for space-based data networking for enterprise, telecoms and government communications across the globe.”
