Vocus and Telesat announce multi-year Telesat Lightspeed terrestrial infrastructure and services contract
MELBOURNE, Australia and OTTAWA, Canada, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vocus, Australia's specialist digital infrastructure provider, and Telesat (Nasdaq and TSX: TSAT), one of the world's most innovative satellite operators, today announced that Vocus will build Australia's first Telesat Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Landing Station. Vocus will construct and operate the new Landing Station in New South Wales, Australia and provide fibre connectivity to Telesat's point of presence (PoP), connecting Telesat's advanced LEO satellite constellation, called Telesat Lightspeed, to terrestrial networks, providing secure, low-latency satellite services across the region. "As a leading provider of Landing Stations and fibre network solutions, Vocus is an ideal partner to deliver the resilient, scalable terrestrial infrastructure that not only serves as a key interconnect point for customer data, but also further strengthens Australia's digital infrastructure resilience," said Asit Tandon, Telesat's Chief Network and Information Officer. "Telesat will begin launching its LEO satellites in late 2026 and this new Landing Station will play a key role in satellite testing and customer field trials before global service delivery." "We're proud to be partnering with Telesat on establishing its network in Australia,' said Ashley Neale, Head of Vocus Space and Wireless Operations. 'Vocus already has 30 ground stations currently in operation or contracted to be built, demonstrating that our infrastructure provides the critical reliability needed for LEO networks.' Vocus signs Telesat Lightspeed services commitment The long-term agreement also includes Telesat Lightspeed services when the network becomes operational. These services, backed by committed information rates (CIR) and comprehensive service level agreements, will ensure resilient, low-latency connectivity for Vocus' enterprise and government customers, complementing its already substantial LEO satellite services customer base. "We're honoured that Vocus will be integrating our MEF 3.0 compliant Telesat Lightspeed Carrier Ethernet services into its portfolio to meet the secure, mission-critical requirements of their customers in Australia, as well as their distributed networks across the globe," said Glenn Katz, Telesat's Chief Commercial Officer. "In addition to public networking options via Telesat's global Landing Stations, our flexible architecture includes options for Private Access Stations, special security add-ons, and the ability for Vocus' customers to maintain complete control over encryption, providing valuable, differentiated capabilities in their LEO portfolio." A unique feature of the Telesat Lightspeed service will be its Terminal-to-Terminal direct connectivity capability, which eliminates the need for terrestrial links for customers transmitting especially sensitive information. "This will enable, for example, a naval vessel to communicate via the Telesat Lightspeed satellites directly with ground deployed soldiers via the optical laser-linked space network, completely bypassing land-based infrastructure or the public internet," explained Neale. "This capability will be extremely valuable to customers with mission-critical communications requirements and a desire to preserve data sovereignty even outside of Australia's geographic borders."
