Viasat operates primarily through two business segments: Communication Services and Defense and Advanced Technologies. The Communication Services segment, which accounts for the majority of its revenue, offers broadband and narrowband solutions for commercial mobility markets, such as in-flight connectivity for airlines, as well as fixed broadband for residential and enterprise customers. The Defense and Advanced Technologies segment provides vertically integrated solutions to government and commercial customers, leveraging core competencies in encryption, cybersecurity, tactical gateways, and modems. In 2023, Viasat expanded its global footprint and spectrum assets significantly through the acquisition of Inmarsat. The company's proprietary satellite network enables it to act as both an infrastructure provider and a service operator in areas where terrestrial networks are insufficient.
