BSNL and Viasat Collaborate to Upgrade Indian Navy's Satellite Communications

BSNL and satellite company Viasat have partnered to support the Indian Navy's next phase of satellite communications upgrade, starting later this month. The programme integrates Viasat's high-frequency Ka-band systems with BSNL's existing L-band infrastructure to enhance secure, resilient connectivity for naval platforms. This multi-band, multi-constellation SATCOM strategy aims to expand coverage, improve throughput, and increase reliability for mission-critical operations, leveraging BSNL's Gateway Earth Station and Viasat's global network.
