Demand drives the market… Demand continues to grow at around 30% (commercial and government) For consumers: always on, NETFLIX and social media, HD TV, augmented reality whilst half the worlds populations lives on 1% of the earth, there are more and more of them…and they travel For defence: Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) full motion video, medical, welfare, new platforms, connected soldier Space offers major opportunities increasingly contested, congested.. …and competitive!
Defence needs are changing… We can’t communicate the way we did in 2009…. When we need to support… Increased demands At greater speed With less people and kit …and with tighter budgets...
So what does that mean to ViaSat… ViaSat 1 - 2011 - 140 Gbps - approx 750K subscribers, 100s of aircraft, government users (KaSat in Europe approx 170K subscribers)… ViaSat 2 - 2017 - 300 Gbps, 7 x coverage… ViaSat 3 series – 2020/1 - Tbps satellites, global coverage - affordable 100 Mbps broadband for millions, 1000s of aircraft… Same networks support consumer and airline broadband, defence customers and VIPs… Architecture / beam size / cyber protection / situational awareness… Domestic 140 Gbps Regional – 250 Gbps + Global - Tbps 150 Gbps 70 Gbps 250 + Gbps
HCS Redefine SATCOM Possibilities… At launch, ViaSat-1 had more capacity (140 Gbps) than over 100 traditional satellites = ViaSat-3 will once again redefine satellite communications… …EACH ViaSat-3 Has Roughly 10 Times the Capacity of ViaSat-1 1000x Capacity Increase Changes Everything about How Satellite Fits in the Communications Market
Hybrid Networks – Resilience and Choice… Circa 2022 NATO Exercise – Eastern Europe WGS Ka Band Satellites Global Coverage High Capacity Ka (ViaSat-1/2,3 and KaSat ) Ku Band Satellites IntelSat, SES, Epic Global Coverage WGS-2 & 3 Relieve congestion through capacity Eliminate effect of Interference (intentional/unintentional) Eliminate effects of Cyber attacks Eliminate effects of loss of Ground sites Eliminate effects of loss of Space assets WGS-2 & 3 KaSat Inmarsat GX Intelsat EPICNG SES Network O3b ViaSat-3 Beam laydowns created with publicly released data.

The satellite communications market is changing at pace, just like terrestrial broadband has… Greater network capability is demanded at home, travelling and often in the hand… Government needs to understand private sector advancements and scale, and leverage them… Viasat is building on success, and building out global 100 Mbps service rapidly… We believe holistic network design enables more flexible, more affordable, more secure networks… neil.fraser@viasat.com
