Telesat announced that Space Norway, Northern Europe’s leading satellite operator, selected Telesat Lightspeed as its Low Earth Orbit connectivity solution.
Space Norway plans to integrate a multi-Gbps Telesat Lightspeed capacity pool into its services portfolio to provide secure, low-latency connectivity services for their defence, enterprise and maritime customers. The capacity pool delivers maximum flexibility for Space Norway to define its service offerings, including prioritization of services and data rates to each site, and seamlessly modify services on the network without Telesat’s intervention.
Designed from inception with a Zero-Trust Architecture and strict cybersecurity standards, the advanced Telesat Lightspeed network will provide resilient communications for Norway and its allied partners throughout the Arctic region, and meet mission-critical connectivity requirements for enterprise customers throughout the EMEA region and beyond.
With the negotiations on the term sheet finalized, the parties expect to conclude definitive agreements by the second half of 2025.
Morten Tengs, Space Norway’s Chief Executive Officer
Space Norway found the Telesat Lightspeed network to be a natural next step in the continued evolution of our multi-orbit strategy.

Dan Goldberg, Telesat’s President and Chief Executive Officer
We are honored that Space Norway selected the Telesat Lightspeed network to deliver secure, resilient connectivity within their multi-orbit infrastructure strategy. Together, we will bring innovative space-based capabilities that enable defense and enterprise transformation, anywhere in the world.
