LeoSat, a company that plans to launch a constellation of up to 108 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) communications satellites, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore a potential service agreement with Globecomm. According to LeoSat, its constellation can provide instant infrastructure that is fast, secure and reliable, opening up new opportunities for companies such as Globecomm looking to expand their existing network capabilities.

The increasing demand to move large quantities of data quickly and securely around the world is fast outpacing the infrastructure in place to carry it, LeoSat stated. The company has designed its new network to provide service to harsh environments and the most remote areas for customers in sectors such as multi-national enterprise, oil and gas, maritime and government services.

LeoSat is currently working with Thales Alenia Space to finalize the manufacturing plan, paving the way for the production and deployment of the entire constellation.
