Avionics Networks and Viasat Integrate Satellite Link for UAVs

Enabling BVLOS Operations With Velaris Technology

Viasat has announced the integration of its Velaris L-band satellite terminal with a multi-link communications terminal by Avionics Networks for uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Viasat is committed to continually evolving and developing the Velaris technology to keep it at the forefront of beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) communications systems for drone controls. Velaris is a dedicated BVLOS satcom service for UAVs and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft. The LECO-SOLARIS connectivity solution from Avionics Networks brings increased bandwidth to multiple customers and delivering connectivity when it’s most needed.

Gilson Motta, President and CEO at Avionics Network, said: “We’re excited to embark on this new relationship with Viasat, a company with a consistently robust satellite network, to power our next-generation multi-link LECO-SOLARIS solution. Together, our high performance, small and light communications solutions will increase the critical uses of uncrewed vehicles for safety, surveillance, search and rescue, and more. We’re excited to be working with Viasat to unlock new opportunities for the industry.”

Joel Klooster, SVP Flight Safety and Advanced Air Mobility at Viasat, said: “We’re excited to welcome Avionics Networks as our latest Velaris alliance member, to support our mission to drive innovation through connectivity in the AAM industry. This relationship demonstrates the ever-developing capabilities of the Velaris network and prioritizes certification – as well as showcases the revolutionary capabilities of commercial UAVs through safe, reliable, connectivity. We’re looking forward to expanding this impact as this technology achieves certification and becomes globally available, and to enabling yet more innovation in the AAM industry.”
