Viasat is staking out direct-to-device reach before carriers and Amazon lock up the space, tying Terrestar's Canadian CaStar constellation into Equatys. It is an MoU, so the next checkpoint is a binding deal.

Viasat, Space42, and Terrestar have signed a memorandum of understanding to connect Terrestar's planned Canadian CaStar constellation with Equatys, a planned global platform for direct-to-device satellite services. The agreement creates a framework for the networks to share capabilities across borders and technology systems.
Direct-to-device satellite connectivity is one of the most contested frontiers in telecom right now, with carriers and well-capitalized competitors racing to lock up orbital and spectrum positions. By tying CaStar into the Equatys platform before that race is decided, Viasat is staking out reach in the Canadian market and beyond.

Space42 is the partner bringing Equatys to the table, positioning this as a three-way arrangement that spans a regional constellation and a global delivery platform. That combination is what makes the MoU structurally different from a bilateral roaming deal.
An MoU is a statement of intent that still needs to become a binding contract. The next milestone to watch is whether the three parties convert this framework into a definitive agreement, which would trigger real capital commitments and regulatory filings.
