Galaxy 1 partners with Viasat to deliver rapid, scalable and securecommunications for uncrewed aircraft

Galaxy 1 Communications, a leader in satellite connectivity and secure Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, announces a collaboration with Viasat to enhance delivery of Velaris, Viasat’s dedicated satellite communications service for Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft.

The partnership allows Galaxy 1 to extend the reach and flexibility of Velaris’ service delivery through its Distribution Partner-as-a-Service (DPaaS) model. This supports operators with rapid deployment, scalable fleet management and streamline access to reliable beyond-visual-line-of
sight (BVLOS) connectivity.

Rather than acting as a traditional distributor, Galaxy 1 provides a managed operational layer that abstracts the complexity of provisioning, billing, compliance oversight and integration into a unified framework. This enables UAV and AAM stakeholders to transition efficiently from proof
of-concept to commercially scaled, regulated deployment.
