Light Aircraft Mobile Terminal 1820

Light Aircraft Terminal VMT-1820LA
Two-Way Broadband Ku Satcom-on-the-Move
Small Footprint Terminal
with 18 in. Antenna
for High Data Rate
Airborne Communications
The ViaSat Mobile Terminal 1820 for light aircraft (VMT-1820LA)
is a complete airborne satellite terminal with an 18 in. antenna and
lightweight equipment delivering broadband IP communicationson-the-move. With this mobile terminal and ViaSat’s worldwide
network and broadband service, aircraft operators can send live,
full-motion high-definition video over the horizon, make secure
phone calls, conduct video conferences, access classified and
public networks, and perform mission-critical communications
while in flight.
LIGHT AIRCRAFT MOBILE SATCOM
AT-A-GLANCE
Equipped with integrated technologies and robust waveforms,
this terminal delivers streaming data rates up to 10 Mbps with a
bandwidth-efficient 18 in. antenna. This terminal leverages in-vehicle
equipment that has logged hundreds of thousands of flight hours on
deployed government aircraft.
