Space Norway has agreed a deal to integrate connectivity from Telesat’s upcoming Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) network into its service portfolio.
Telesat plans to launch its first Lightspeed satellites in mid-2026. The new agreement will see Space Norway incorporate a multi-Gbps capacity pool from the Telesat Lightspeed network into its satellite offering, supported by Committed Information Rates (CIR) and a Service Level Agreement (SLA).
This will allow the company to tailor service offerings, manage data prioritisation, and modify online services through its own infrastructure.
“Space Norway found the Telesat Lightspeed network to be a natural next step in the continued evolution of our multi-orbit strategy,” said Morten Tengs, Space Norway’s Chief Executive Officer.
“Its advanced architecture, including inter-satellite links and support of private landing stations, allows us to serve national requirements adhering to the strictest security and privacy standards.”
The companies expect to finalise definitive agreements in the second half of 2025.
