About Viasat
Viasat is a satellite communications company. It sells satellite bandwidth and connectivity services to government and defense customers, airlines for in-flight connectivity, and consumers who need broadband where ground networks do not reach.
AI helps run the network rather than define the product. Viasat applies AI to bandwidth management, defense communications, and intelligent network optimization, squeezing more capacity and reliability out of its satellite fleet.
Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Carlsbad, California, Viasat trades on the NASDAQ, employs roughly 7,200 people, and is led by CEO Mark Dankberg.
Viasat in the AI buildout
Viasat spans the Defense & Aerospace AI and Cloud & Hyperscalers layers, but its link to the AI buildout is thin. AI improves how it allocates bandwidth and optimizes its network, which is operational efficiency rather than AI revenue. Demand for its satellite capacity comes from government, aviation, and consumer broadband markets that have little to do with AI infrastructure. Supercycle scores Viasat's AI exposure at 8 out of 100.
VSAT is tracked in Defense & Aerospace AI and Cloud & Hyperscalers, rated Peripheral on the AI Exposure leaderboard.
