ViaSat Puts a Price Tag on Its Boeing-built Behemoth

摘要

Satellite broadband hardware and services provider ViaSat Inc. on May 24 put a figure on its contract with Boeing to build the ViaSat-2 Ka-band broadband satellite: $358 million. In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Carlsbad, Calif-based ViaSat also said it expects to pay Space Systems/Loral up to $37.6 million in in-orbit incentive payments for the ViaSat-1 broadband satellite that entered service in January 2012. Palo Alto, Calif.-based Space Systems/Loral built ViaSat-1. ViaSat has sued Space Systems/Loral and its former corporate parent, Loral Space and Communications of New York, for patent infringement and breach of contract relating to Loral's ViaSat-1 work.
