The high-value of ensuring more people can connect to more online services is a key reason why we continue to invest in bringing better satellite systems to market, like our next-generation satellite constellation, ViaSat-3. When this system goes into consumer service, we will be able to deliver significantly faster speeds, more data and enhanced streaming capabilities from space\u2014all of which we will be testing later this year in preparation for the ViaSat-3 launch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Viasat is committed to delivering more bandwidth, speeds and data to its residential customers. During the pandemic, the Company\u00a0implemented multiple optimization and web acceleration techniques to mitigate network congestion by prioritizing critical business, health and education applications to get preferential access compared to other non-essential high-bandwidth traffic. These efforts have helped the Company receive various accolades by consumer outlets including being named the &#8216;Best Satellite Provider&#8217; among U.S. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3293097-1&amp;h=99396441&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnet.com%2Fhome%2Finternet%2Fbest-rural-internet%2F&amp;a=rural+internet+service+providers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">rural internet service providers<\/a> (ISPs) by CNET and receiving the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3293097-1&amp;h=1496719687&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zdnet.com%2Farticle%2Fbest-satellite-internet-provider%2F&amp;a=Best+Satellite+Internet+Speed+designation+by+ZDNet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Best Satellite Internet Speed designation by ZDNet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About\u00a0Viasat<br \/><\/b>Viasat is a global communications company that believes everyone and everything in the world can be connected.
