2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viasat, Inc. (NASDAQ:
VSAT), a global leader in satellite communications, today announced
its Energy Services division has launched a purpose-built managed

powering a range of applications, including enterprise-grade
solutions for customers' cloud-based computing services,
applications to drive operational efficiency and safety, and
enhanced crew welfare offerings. The service is also designed to
incorporate Viasat's cybersecurity expertise and its operational
artificial intelligence software and machine learning platform,
Intelie™. These capabilities are all delivered alongside
Viasat's existing robust service commitments.

Viasat Energy Services, said: "Serving customers
exceptionally well is our North Star – no matter the underlying
technology to get there. Our energy customers are looking to solve
complex challenges and operate more safely, efficiently, and
