VViasat

- Network and Voice
Viasat is a satellite internet provider whose Viasat Business Internet keeps sites connected where terrestrial service is unavailable or disrupted. Because it delivers connectivity over satellite rather than cable or fiber, it often stays online when terrestrial internet providers are knocked out by an outage, storm or other emergency. In one documented hurricane, when flooding downed cable, internet and phone service across a wide area, a business that had ordered Viasat Business ahead of the storm stayed connected and continued serving critical clients, pairing the satellite connection with VoIP for voice calls. Viasat can be provisioned quickly, including ahead of an anticipated disruption, and works in locations where wired service has not been installed or has failed. For a business that needs connectivity in hard-to-reach locations or a resilient backup that survives terrestrial outages, Viasat is an option.
Best for
- Businesses in remote or hard-to-reach locations where cable or fiber is unavailable.
- Organizations that need a resilient connection that stays online when terrestrial service fails.
- Companies providing critical services that cannot lose communications during storms or emergencies.
- Teams that need connectivity at a new or temporary site before wired service is installed.
A business already served by reliable wired internet with its own redundancy, and no remote-site needs, is a weaker fit.
What they offer
Business Connectivity. Viasat Business Internet, satellite-delivered connectivity that reaches locations without wired service and stays online when terrestrial cable, internet and phone service are disrupted by outages or disasters, provisioned quickly and able to pair with VoIP so a site keeps both data and voice during an emergency.

How buying works
The store is the easy part. Staying on the account is the job.
Anyone can show you logos. The reason to buy here is what happens on install night, and on the ticket you open nine months later.
