Hosted Payloads
It’s an innovative business model that’s a win-win for customers and operators alike. Boeing developed Hosted Payloads so government customers can operate dedicated communication, observation or space situational awareness payloads from a commercial satellite. Customers get the capability they need, including airborne ISR, wideband tactical services with jam-resistant communications-on-the-move and broadcast and narrow/mobile services quickly and less expensively. Operators of the host satellite get a new source of revenue.
