This means an even greater connectivity experience with reports of a ‘truly outstanding’ Wi-Fi performance by a Large Cabin Gulfstream operator. The capacity boost will initially operate across the Eastern United States, with a phased nationwide expansion in the coming months. 🔗 Find out more in our press release here: https://vsat.co/4mIVfcc #businessaviation #ifc #inflightconnectivity #bizav

Earlier this month, our Viasat Government team worked with the United States Marine Corps to provide hands-on training with Viasat satellite terminals – building the real-world experience they need to maintain reliable communications in any environment. This training ensures they're ready to leverage every communication tool at their disposal, keeping teams connected when it matters most. The Second Annual Commercial Satcom Operators Course (CSOC) at Marine Corps Communication-Electronics School (MCCES) was an outstanding success. 👏🪖🛰️ #Defense #ViasatGovernment #SatelliteTechnology 📸: John McCann🎗️
