Arctic Space Technologies, which offers secure satellite data handling services, has agreed to establish and host Viasat\u2019s RTE facility in \u00d6jebyn, Sweden. The facility is expected to be operational by April.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Viasat said the high-latitude RTE site is in an important geographic location for satellites flying in Sun-Synchronous Orbits (SSO), and gives those customer satellites a chance to connect to the ground station up to nine times per day. The site will host four Viasat full-motion 7.3-meter S\/X\/Ka-band antennas and associated infrastructure. It will also be co-located with an Arctic Space Technologies\u2019 data center for enhanced edge compute capabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur relationship with Arctic Space Technologies plays an integral role in the expansion of our global RTE footprint and our ability to provide increased coverage in the critical polar geography,\u201d said John Williams, vice president of Real-Time Earth at Viasat. \u201cThe new Swedish site will provide our RTE commercial and government customers with virtual access to their own 7.3m S\/X\/Ka-band antenna systems \u2014 at an ideal polar latitude \u2014 with secure backhaul communications and software defined radios configured specifically for every satellite pass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This will be Viasat\u2019s first high-latitude RTE facility, and the sixth global site in the GSaaS network, a fully managed network that can serve satellites in S-, X- and Ka-bands. Viasat recently opened its first RTE in Africa, in Ghana.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viasat\u2019s Real Time Earth Station in Sweden.
