Viasat, Galaxy 1, L2 Aviation Advance Avionics Integration for AAM

Viasat Integrates L2 Aviation into Velaris Ecosystem for Certifiable AAM Connectivity

Viasat, through its Velaris ecosystem, has partnered with Galaxy 1 Communications to bring L2 Aviation on board for delivering certifiable satellite communications and avionics integration tailored to Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS). L2 Aviation, with nearly three decades of experience in safety-critical aircraft modifications, will embed Viasat's global satellite connectivity into certified avionics architectures.

This partnership moves the industry beyond technical demonstrations toward operational capability within regulated airspace, addressing the critical gap between satellite connectivity and certifiable, scalable AAM operations.

What This Means for B2B Buyers

For B2B clients including eVTOL manufacturers, drone operators, and AAM infrastructure providers, this collaboration offers a tangible pathway to airworthiness certification and compliant, routine operations. This mitigates a key risk in commercial deployment.

• Reduces certification complexity for AAM operators
• Provides a proven satcom integration framework for regulated airspace
• Acceler time-to-market for eVTOL and UAS fleets
