Vocus, Australia's specialist digital infrastructure provider, and Telesat announced on June 10, 2025, that Vocus will build Australia's first Telesat Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Landing Station. Vocus will construct and operate the new Landing Station in New South Wales, Australia.
Vocus will also provide fiber connectivity to Telesat's point of presence, connecting the Lightspeed constellation to terrestrial networks to deliver secure, low-latency satellite services across the region. The long-term agreement includes a commitment for Lightspeed services, backed by committed information rates (CIR) and comprehensive service level agreements, for Vocus' enterprise and government customers.
A unique feature of the Lightspeed service highlighted is its Terminal-to-Terminal direct connectivity capability, which eliminates the need for terrestrial links for sensitive information. This capability is expected to be valuable for customers with mission-critical communications requirements and a desire to preserve data sovereignty, even outside Australia’s geographic borders. Telesat plans to begin launching its LEO satellites in late 2026.
