Evolution of Viasat technology for C-130
› The C-130 Hatch Terminal was designed as a no-scar easy Roll-on/off kit that could be moved between
aircraft
› Evolution in data requirements led to a fully permanent installation capable of higher capacity
› Ka-band technology advancements and high capacity Ka-band satellites led to a dual-band antenna
› Latest terminal architecture provides spectrum, waveform, and satellite diversity leading to increased
network resiliency and coverage
