ALL.SPACE has announced a strategic collaboration with satellite communications provider Viasat, alongside the successful certification of its Hydra terminal to operate on the Viasat Global Xpress (GX) network.
The certification enables the electronically steered Hydra terminal to deliver secure, high-performance connectivity across Viasat’s global GX satellite constellation using military Ka-band spectrum. The capability is designed to support government and defence missions operating in mobile, remote and contested environments.
Achieving Viasat GX Category 4 certification allows the ALL.SPACE terminal to operate across high-capacity steerable beams within the GX network. This enables connectivity while platforms are moving, paused or stationary, supporting operational flexibility across land and maritime missions.
The certification also extends connectivity coverage to high-latitude and polar environments, areas that are increasingly important for defence and security operations but often difficult to serve with traditional communications infrastructure.
Alongside the certification, the companies have entered into a strategic collaboration agreement to further integrate and test ALL.SPACE’s Hydra terminal family across Viasat’s global Ka-band network.
As part of the partnership, ALL.SPACE will integrate Viasat’s next-generation LSDR modem into its Hydra and Hydra MAX terminals. This integration is designed to ensure interoperability with Viasat’s expanding satellite infrastructure while supporting modern multi-orbit satellite communications architectures used by defence organisations.
The collaboration will also include joint demonstrations, operational trials and customer engagements aimed at validating performance and accelerating adoption among government and defence users.
ALL.SPACE Chief Technology Officer John-Paul Szczepanik said defence customers increasingly require communications systems designed for resilience rather than simply bandwidth.
“Defence users require communications that are resilient by design, not just high performance,” Szczepanik said. “Certification on the Viasat GX network, combined with our strategic agreement with Viasat, expands the operational reach of our terminals and reinforces our commitment to delivering assured, mission-ready connectivity wherever operations take place.”
Vic Farah, Senior Vice President of Government Services and Solutions at Viasat, said the partnership strengthens the ecosystem of secure connectivity technologies supporting defence missions.
“Viasat’s high-capacity Ka-band network is designed to support secure, high-reliability communications for global government and defence operations,” Farah said. “We look forward to working with ALL.SPACE to strengthen our ecosystem of connectivity solutions that can help deliver greater flexibility and resilience for customers operating across diverse and demanding mission environments.”
ALL.SPACE’s electronically steered terminal technology uses beam steering with no moving parts, improving reliability and survivability in harsh operating conditions. The system is designed to support multi-orbit, multi-link connectivity for mobile applications including land vehicles, maritime platforms and mobile command systems.
As defence organisations increasingly depend on resilient communications infrastructure, the combination of Viasat’s global satellite network and ALL.SPACE’s advanced terminal technology aims to provide assured connectivity across complex and contested operational environments.
