The Telesat Phase 1 LEO satellite layer 2 backhaul link was connected to TGS\u2019s 5G test environment. An 85 cm Intellian Ka-band terminal with a 10 Watt BUC connected Telef\u00f3nica Global Solutions\u2019 data streams to the Phase 1 LEO, validating that a small, carrier-grade terminal can achieve the desired performance to properly support a 5G backhaul network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuilding on our successful LEO test with Telesat in Europe, we were eager to evaluate the performance of the Phase 1 LEO integration with a 5G network. With the performance results achieved being close to fibre connectivity, Telesat Lightspeed provides a compelling value proposition for our 5G network rollouts across the globe,\u201d Eloy Rodr\u00edguez Villa, senior vice president of Global Wholesale Customers of Telef\u00f3nica Global Solutions said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Telesat recently confirmed plans to downsize its Lightspeed LEO constellation from the planned 298 satellites to 188 with 10 in-orbit spares.
