Telesat Lightspeed is a 198-satellite low-Earth-orbit network from Canada's Telesat, aimed squarely at enterprise, telecom-backhaul, and government customers rather than consumers. It uses advanced beam-hopping to concentrate capacity where demand is highest and complements Telesat's existing geostationary fleet. The program is backed in part by a C$1.4 billion Canadian government loan, with first launches expected in 2026.
