Telesat announced on October 28, 2024, the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Airbus SAS. This collaboration aims to integrate the Telesat Lightspeed low Earth orbit (LEO) network within the Airbus HBCplus Ka-band solution portfolio.
Airbus launched its HBCplus satellite connectivity solution as a supplier-furnished line-fit catalog option and for retrofit on all Airbus programs. The partnership will focus on user terminal integration for HBCplus installations to provide Telesat Lightspeed services.
This collaboration is significant as Lightspeed's advanced, enterprise-class LEO network was designed to meet the demanding requirements of inflight connectivity service providers, offering guaranteed committed information rates and Service Level Agreements. The partnership with Airbus is expected to facilitate seamless integration for channel partners to deliver connectivity experiences to their customers.
