Transmit
Pre-recorded or live high
quality video/data content is
transmitted from the KA-SAT
mobile unit’s lightweight kit to
the KA-SAT satellite.

Content is then received by
the KA-SAT satellite, which
allows one signal to be
received simultaneously by an
unlimited number of users.
3 Relay
Signals are relayed to the
KA-SAT ground network
using ViaSat’s SurfBeam®
2 technology, which allows
frequencies to be reused
20 times.
4 Broadcast
Content is then transmitted
to the broadcaster, enabling
real-time, high quality video,
images and data to be passed
on to the end consumer.
