The Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA) announced that ViaSat has become its newest member and is also the first broadband satellite service provider to join the Alliance.

The DSA welcomed ViaSat during the fifth annual Dynamic Spectrum Alliance Global Summit, held in Cape Town, South Africa. During the summit, DSA President Kalpak Gude and Peter Flynn, spectrum architect at ViaSat, delivered a joint presentation on “Satellites and Dynamic Sharing,” which highlighted a key theme at the event: opening more spectrum sharing opportunities across the globe through innovative dynamic access technologies and spectrum policies.

ViaSat was recognized for blazing a trail within the satellite and broadband internet industries, and consistently pushing the boundaries of connectivity by bringing high-speed internet to challenging locations.

“ViaSat’s focus on increasing worldwide connectivity, which can help to alleviate the spectrum crunch and connect the unconnected, aligns with several of the DSA’s core goals,” Gude commented.
