Telesat Lightspeed is a communications satellite operated by Telesat. It operates in LEO orbit at 1015 km altitude.

Telesat Lightspeed is a planned LEO constellation of 198 satellites designed to deliver enterprise-grade, fiber-like connectivity globally. The constellation uses a unique polar and inclined orbit architecture with optical inter-satellite links. Backed by Canadian government investment, Lightspeed targets enterprise, maritime, aviation, and government markets rather than consumer broadband.
