Arabsat and Telesat agree on terms for Lightspeed LEO capacity

Infostellar, a Japan-based ground-segment-as-a-service (GSaaS) provider, is planning to deploy a network of Infostellar-owned antennas focused on serving its global clients’ interests in the Asia-Pacific region.

Satellite communications firm EchoStar is moving ahead with plans to join the global direct-to-device (D2D) satellite race via a new LEO satellite constellation, and has awarded an initial US$1.3 billion contract to MDA Space to help build it.

It may be some way behind Starlink in deployment terms, but Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellite initiative has been making headway both in terms of launches and regulatory approvals in recent weeks.
