05:03 PM EDT, 06/10/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Vocus, an Australian specialist digital infrastructure provider, and Telesat (TSAT.TO, TSAT), a global satellite operator, after trade Tuesday said Vocus will build Australia's first Telesat Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Landing Station. No financial details were given.

A statement noted that Vocus will construct and operate the new Landing Station in New South Wales, Australia and provide fiber connectivity to Telesat's point of presence (PoP), connecting Telesat's advanced LEO satellite constellation, called Telesat Lightspeed, to terrestrial networks, providing secure, low-latency satellite services across the region.

"Telesat will begin launching its LEO satellites in late 2026 and this new Landing Station will play a key role in satellite testing and customer field trials before global service delivery," Asit Tandon, Telesat's Chief Network and Information Officer, said.

Telesat shares closed down $0.02 to $22.89 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
