Telesat Corporation is a Canadian satellite communications company that provides global connectivity services through geostationary (GEO) satellites and the planned low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation known as Telesat Lightspeed. The company operates in the satellite telecommunications and space infrastructure industries, serving enterprise, government, mobility, telecom, and broadcast customers. Its core revenue drivers historically have included satellite bandwidth services for video distribution, enterprise networking, broadband connectivity, and government communications contracts.

The company’s operations are centered on satellite capacity and managed communications services delivered to customers across aviation, maritime, defense, telecom backhaul, and remote enterprise markets. Telesat has positioned itself as a long-established satellite operator with expertise in orbital spectrum rights, satellite fleet management, and secure connectivity solutions. Founded in 1969 as one of the world’s earliest commercial satellite operators, the company evolved from a primarily broadcast-focused satellite provider into a broader connectivity infrastructure company pursuing next-generation LEO broadband capabilities through the Telesat Lightspeed program.
