Telesat, Optus Ink LEO Collaboration Agreement

Telesat will collaborate with satellite operator Optus Satellite in live, over-the-air trials of its low earth orbit Phase 1 satellite launched in January, Telesat said Friday. It said its broadband constellation is expected to have 120 satellites by 2021. It said beyond joint Phase 1 testing, the Optus agreement also opens the door to joint services and market development plans.
