Viasat and Pulsar Expand Commercial Partnership

Viasat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global leader in satellite communications, today announced Pulsar International (Pulsar) as the latest member of its ELEVATE program – helping to bring Viasat’s reliable L-band connectivity to more customers around the world.

Pulsar is a satellite communications and connectivity solutions provider with a reputation for innovation and reliability. It offers mobile satellite communication, high-speed internet, voice and data services, as well as network management and cybersecurity solutions to facilitate remote operations in critical, rural and challenging environments on land and at sea. The company works with major satellite communication providers, including Viasat, to enable Pulsar to optimize customers’ end-to-end experience while improving resilience and security.

As an ELEVATE partner, Pulsar will continue to utilize Viasat’s reliable satellite network for niche use cases across markets like agriculture, energy, utilities, mining and for governments.

Its services include Pulsar iO, a suite of proprietary data and network management tools to view and control your global networks via a single pane of glass, and Tracertrak, Pulsar’s robust exception management system for worker safety, personnel and asset tracking, and fixed asset management designed for reliability and ease of use.

Showcasing its reputation for reliability, Pulsar supported Brazil’s 2022 Municipal Elections utilizing Viasat’s satellite network, providing resilient and assured connectivity for voters submitting from remote areas which lack terrestrial connectivity.

In a statement following the event, Brazil’s Election Committee said: “Conducting an election is always a complex logistical challenge. By working with Pulsar, we were able to meet the requirement of securely delivering accurate election results in a timely manner from remote areas. The technical solution and excellent support we received from the team was critical in the success.”

James Grisbrook, Senior Director, Marketing and Communications, said: “We have been collaborating with Pulsar for some time and welcoming them to ELEVATE is a testament to the success we’ve had so far. By continuing to develop the ecosystem, we’re building momentum to get the benefits of reliable, assured connectivity to more and more people.

John Dark, VP, Marketing at Pulsar, said: “At Pulsar, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in satellite communication. Joining Viasat’s ELEVATE program marks an exciting step forward in our mission to deliver unparalleled connectivity solutions to even the most challenging environments. By deepening our partnership with Viasat, we are confident that we can continue to provide our customers with the most reliable, secure, and innovative communication technologies available today. This collaboration is our shared vision of connecting people and industries across the globe, no matter where they operate.”
