Mark Dankberg, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Viasat, discussed the company's first-quarter fiscal year 2027 results during earnings calls held in early August 2026. He highlighted strong order rates in the defense, aerospace, and technology (DAT) segment, describing technology as a leading indicator for future awards growth and a driver of the company's services and recurring revenue business. He also noted that growth areas align with the company's long-term strategic focus, despite increased competition in some older business segments. Dankberg also addressed the company's satellite spectrum position and capacity expansion plans. He stated that the best way to retain spectrum is to use it for public benefit in the nations that granted market access rights, adding that Viasat's S-band spectrum is currently in use in Europe for its licensed purpose. Regarding the new satellite constellation for the Eutelsat partnership, he said the capacity per satellite would be hundreds or thousands of times greater than current levels, with total global capacity potentially increasing by a factor of one thousand to ten thousand, supporting applications such as unmanned vehicles.
