Place

Direct enterprise & gov

Telesat sells directly to enterprises, carriers and public-sector agencies, targeting a global satellite broadband market estimated at about USD 20 billion in 2024 and leveraging its Lightspeed LEO program (~298 satellites) to win strategic accounts. Account teams jointly scope use cases and architect bespoke solutions for connectivity, managed services and backhaul. Contracting teams handle complex SLAs and regulatory compliance, while dedicated service managers coordinate post-sale delivery and ongoing operational support.

Channel partners

Channel partners—global resellers, ISPs, and system integrators—extend Telesat’s market reach by localizing deployment, support, and regulatory handling across territories. Joint solutions embed Telesat capacity into managed connectivity and enterprise offers, accelerating uptake. Enablement focuses on partner training, integration tools, and co-marketing to drive sales and service adoption.

Teleports & gateways

Teleports and gateways anchor GEO services and enable Telesat Lightspeed LEO access; Lightspeed is a planned 298-satellite constellation. Colocation near carriers, IXs and cloud on-ramps reduces hops and optimizes latency paths for enterprise and carrier customers. Redundant, geographically diverse sites support industry-class 99.99% availability targets, while managed colocation eases customer integration and restoration.

Digital sales & portals

Digital sales and portals streamline quoting, service orders and support tickets, cutting turnaround and improving conversion; McKinsey (2023) finds digital self‑service can reduce service costs up to 30%. APIs and portals expose usage, KPIs and inventory for real‑time decisions. Secure, SSO‑aligned access matches enterprise workflows to speed procurement and deployment.

  • APIs: real‑time usage/KPIs
  • Portal: faster quotes/orders
  • Docs: self‑service deployment
  • Security: SSO & enterprise IAM

Global coverage footprint

GEO beams deliver wide-area reach across key regions and oceans, while Telesat’s planned LEO constellation is designed to provide near-global coverage including remote and polar areas. The multi-orbit 4P design enhances availability and resilience in challenging geographies, and in-country licensing plus landing rights enable localized service delivery and regulatory compliance.

  • GEO: wide-area reach
  • LEO: near-global remote coverage
  • Multi-orbit: improved availability
  • Local licensing: in-country service

Industry thought leadership

White papers, webinars and executive briefings position Telesat as a technical authority. Topics span LEO architectures, latency economics (GEO ≈600 ms round‑trip vs LEO <50 ms) and resiliency. Content targets CTOs, network planners and policymakers and highlights measurable business outcomes such as latency‑driven revenue uplift and CAPEX/OPEX impact in quantified analyses.

Trade shows & forums

Presence at satellite, telecom, and defense events builds pipeline, supported by global defense spending of 2.24 trillion USD in 2023 (SIPRI) which signals large procurement budgets. Live demos and case walkthroughs showcase performance and accelerate technical buy-in. Executive keynotes reinforce brand credibility while partner showcases amplify ecosystem value and co-selling reach.

Case studies & PR

Case studies quantify ROI, uptime, and latency gains for customers; Telesat's Lightspeed LEO program targets latency under 50 ms, enabling measurable application performance improvements. Press releases announce milestones, partnerships, and certifications, driving credibility. Media outreach focuses on enterprise and government decision-makers, and published proof points reduce perceived adoption risk.

Pilot programs

Structured pilot programs let customers validate Telesat Lightspeed services in production-like settings; Telesat ran multiple partner trials in 2023–24 to demonstrate latency and throughput under real loads. Defined KPIs, 30–90 day timelines, and dedicated engineering support accelerate procurement decisions and contract sign-off. Co-funded pilots use cost-share models to de-risk integration and terminal procurement. Outcomes directly feed contractual SLAs and staged rollout plans.

  • Trials: production-like validation, 30–90 days
  • KPIs: latency, throughput, availability
  • Funding: cost-share pilots to reduce CAPEX risk
  • Output: pilot results → SLAs and rollout milestones

Targeted digital campaigns

Account-based marketing targets verticals and named accounts, with ABM programs reporting 150–200% higher ROI (ITSMA/ABM Leadership Alliance 2024); channels focus on LinkedIn (driving ~80% of B2B social leads), targeted email nurtures (average email ROI ~$36 per $1), and analyst platforms where >70% of enterprise buyers consult research (Gartner 2024). Messaging centers on multi-orbit resilience and total cost of ownership, with technical landing pages capturing leads via datasheets, TCO calculators and white papers, improving conversion by up to 55% (HubSpot 2024).

  • ABM reach: 150–200% higher ROI (ITSMA 2024)
  • Channels: LinkedIn (~80% B2B social leads), email (ROI ~$36/$1), analyst platforms (>70% buyers)
  • Messaging: multi-orbit resilience, TCO
  • Landing pages: datasheets, TCO calculators, +55% conversions

LEO constellation: <50 ms latency and 150–200% ABM ROI

Telesat leverages white papers, webinars, events and ABM to target CTOs, network planners and governments, emphasizing Lightspeed LEO <50 ms latency and quantified TCO benefits. Co-funded pilots (30–90 days) and ROI case studies from 2023–24 accelerate procurement and SLA commitments. Channels: LinkedIn (~80% B2B social leads), ABM ROI 150–200% (ITSMA 2024), email ROI ~$36 per $1.

Tiered bandwidth plans

Tiered bandwidth plans scale by throughput, contention and QoS, covering needs from branch backup to core backbone with throughput options spanning tens of Mbps to multiple Gbps. Higher tiers provide prioritized traffic and SLAs commonly ranging 99.9%–99.99%. Clear, transparent tiers simplify budgeting and OPEX forecasting for enterprise networks.

Usage-based models

Pay-as-you-go aligns costs with variable demand, letting customers pay only for used Mbps—critical as the global satellite services market reached roughly $50B in 2024. Burst capacity and seasonal plans support events and mobility (temporary uplinks for live sports or maritime operations). Threshold alerts cap unexpected spend, and the model is ideal for media contribution and rapid disaster-response links where short-term high-throughput is needed.

Custom enterprise contracts

Bespoke pricing reflects multi-site scope, term length and redundancy, with enterprise telecom contracts commonly spanning 3–7 years to capture deployment amortization.

Deals integrate equipment, installation and managed services into a single ARR/CAPEX schedule for simpler billing and lifecycle planning.

Indexation clauses tie fees to CPI (US CPI ~3.4% in 2024) and spectrum fee pass‑throughs; performance credits of 5–25% reimburse SLA shortfalls.

Wholesale & partner rates

Wholesale and partner rates provide volume discounts to carriers, MSPs, and integrators to lower per-unit costs and improve margin capture; commit-to-consume structures further optimize unit economics by aligning capacity commitment with usage. White-label options let partners brand services end-to-end while back-to-back SLAs preserve end-customer service integrity and accountability.

  • Volume discounts: carrier/MSP incentives
  • Commit-to-consume: unit-economics optimization
  • White-label: partner branding
  • Back-to-back SLAs: service integrity

Government & NGO terms

Framework pricing supports long procurements and mission needs, offering fixed-fee, IDIQ and emergency surge capacity options; multi-year terms (3–7 years) can cut total cost of ownership 10–20%. Compliance with security and audit requirements typically adds a 5–8% price premium and is baked into bids. Governments directed >$10B to space-related procurements in 2024, favoring predictable, scalable pricing.

  • Fixed-fee, IDIQ, surge: flexible delivery and pricing
  • Compliance premium: ~5–8% included
  • Multi-year (3–7 yr) terms reduce TCO 10–20%

Tiered/PAYG/bespoke satcom: SLAs 99.9–99.99%, market $50B

Tiered, pay-as-you-go and bespoke models align cost to throughput, SLAs (99.9–99.99%) and term (3–7 yr). Indexation (CPI ~3.4% in 2024), performance credits (5–25%) and compliance premium (~5–8%) affect pricing; global satellite market ~$50B (2024). Multi-year frameworks cut TCO 10–20%; governments directed >$10B to space procurements in 2024.
