ViaSat bags $40 million contracts from Boeing for Mexican Satellite System

ViaSat announced that it has been awarded contracts
valued at approximately $40 million by Boeing to develop a ground based beam
forming (GBBF) system for the Mexican Satellite System (MEXSAT).

 

The beam forming system is designed to operate with the
Boeing L-band geomobile satellite system being provided for Secretaria de
Communicaciones y Transportes (SCT) of Mexico.

 

ViaSat is under contract to supply
Boeing with GBBF processors, the control and management system, and the uplink
beacon stations to be deployed in two ground stations in Mexico City and
Hermosillo, Mexico. The system creates hundreds of small, flexible, adaptive
“spot” beams on the earth that link small, handheld satellite
devices. While the beams are projected on the earth by the satellite, the GBBF
system performs the actual beam-shaping signal processing.

 

This GBBF program for the MEXSAT is the second GBBF
system that ViaSat will be developing for Boeing. This development continues
our successful relationship with Boeing and adds to our long history of
innovation in new satellite communication technologies,” said Prakash Chitre,
VP and general manager of the Comsat Labs division of ViaSat.
