America's fastest satellite internet for business
Viasat is the first satellite internet service provider in
the U.S. to offer plans up to 100 Mbps download speeds
for business use. Plans are offered at 35 Mbps, 60 Mbps and 100
Mbps speeds.
Business anywhere
Viasat business internet offers customers that are out of the
reach of cable or fiber connections high-quality access to internet
speeds that are up to 10 times faster than DSL and up to 65 times
faster than a T1 connection. With Viasat's broadband business
internet plans, businesses even in the hardest-to-reach locations
can now leverage essential business applications such as
cloud-based collaboration, Voice-over-IP (VoIP), email, point of
sale transactions, high-speed file transfers, streaming video,
Internet of Things (IoT) applications and more.
Truly diverse backup connection
Viasat broadband business internet will also provide a more
resilient secondary/backup connection for businesses in urban
locations. More and more businesses are implementing business
continuity and SD-WAN solutions that leverage multi-internet
connections. Viasat's broadband internet is highly-unique, as
compared to traditional wireline providers—cable and fiber—as the
Viasat system delivers broadband from space and offers a truly
diverse, affordable connection with high-speed assurance against
outages.
The new business internet service is made possible by
the ViaSat-2 satellite system, which includes the most
advanced, highest-capacity communications satellite in orbit today,
coupled with new innovations in satellite ground infrastructure.
Business internet plans are available through a nationwide network
of resellers or direct
