Telesat secures $2.54B funding for Lightspeed satellite project, aiming to bridge global digital divide. Learn how this Canadian-backed initiative plans to expand internet access and create jobs, with launches set for 2026.
The federal government has agreed to loan billions of dollars to satellite operator Telesat to support its work in developing the Lightspeed LEO network.
Telesat has lined up more than $3 billion in financing for Lightspeed so far, including a $1.1 billion investment from the Canadian government.
Telesat has secured almost all of the funding it needs to start launching its satellite network in 2024.
The new funding is in addition to the CA$600 million from the federal government announced last year.
