Telesat Government Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telesat and ALL.SPACE, the leader in multi-orbit, multi-link SATCOM solutions, announced a Memorandum of Understanding to integrate ALL.SPACE user terminals with the Telesat Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) network.
Telesat Government Solutions will provide detailed Telesat Lightspeed network interface specifications to facilitate the development of ALL.SPACE multi-orbit, electronically steered terminals. The companies will collaborate on joint customer use-case evaluations and field demonstrations utilizing Telesat’s LEO 3 demonstration satellite. This collaboration is intended to ensure that ALL.SPACE terminals achieve type certification and are fully operational when Telesat Lightspeed services commence in late 2027.
Development efforts will include the ALL.SPACE Hydra-2 MAX terminal that maintains two simultaneous satellite connections with commercial and military Ka-band spacecraft across GEO, MEO and LEO orbits. Additionally, the collaboration extends to the advanced Hydra-4 MAX MilSatCom terminal that connects to four satellites simultaneously by combining a Hydra-2 MAX terminal, a Ku-band terminal and a global L-band antenna into a single chassis. This important collaboration will ensure that Hydra 2 and Hydra 4 terminals that are deployed today, including those delivered to the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army, can seamlessly access Telesat Lightspeed in the future.
