Velaris
The UAV Pioneers
It is the year 2074, and the skies buzz with the sound of autonomous flying vehicles.
It wasn’t always this way, though. It took real visionaries, like Victor and Veronica, to change the world.
Victor
Born 1999
Founded the largest uncrewed air taxi business
Began working with Velaris in 2024
“For beyond visual line of sight, satcom was definitely the answer.”
Veronica
Born 2002
COO of the world’s busiest UAV logistics fleet
Began working with Viasat in 2027
“My grandchildren have never known a time without drones dropping
everything off for them… we made that happen.”
Both of these pioneers shared a powerful technology partner.
They couldn’t have achieved all they have without the global, ubiquitous connectivity and safety servicesof Viasat Velaris.
Become an uncrewed aviation pioneer
Taking flight with
Viasat Velaris
Satellite connectivity has proven key to unlocking the potential of advanced air mobility (AAM). At the same time, Viasat has proven to be a true leader in satellite connectivity.
Viasat is trusted by global aviation regulators and government bodies to recommend technology solutions to the world’s most pressing connectivity needs. Backed by an ever-expanding ecosystem of partners, and guided by a detailed roadmap, organizations looking to enter the UAV race can trust Viasat to keep pace with their ambitions.
The future has already arrived
There’s no need to wait to see the benefits of Velaris. Viasat is already helping the uncrewed aviation industry achieve its goals today. The connectivity terminals that will take fleets of UAVs to the skies have already been developed and tested — and will only improve as technology and adoption advances.
The always-on connectivity of Velaris enables safe, BVLOS flights virtually anywhere in the world.
You can add even more value into your commercial UAV services through the Velaris Partner Ecosystem. Leverage partner solutions to implement identification, video downlink, health metrics, voice and more — services that can be scaled up or down as demand requires.
Capturing UAV opportunity has never been simpler. Your autonomous future starts right here, right now.
There is still more to come
Velaris’ potential, like that of AAM, is practically unlimited. With breakthrough solutions being developed every year, and Viasat working with regulators to build a space for UAVs in our day-to-day lives, the coming decades will be transformational.
We’re already seeing uncrewed aircraft used to monitor remote infrastructure, capture vital climate data, carry out humanitarian relief and more. It’s possible that we’ll also soon be traveling through cities in autonomous flying taxis, getting our groceries delivered to our door by drones, and enjoying new forms of entertainment.
