Telesat Canada
Telesat has a strong record of industry firsts. Both Telesat Canada and Loral Skynet were leaders in satellite communications from the start. In the 1960s, Telstar 1 was launched and used to deliver the first live, intercontinental satellite TV transmission. In the 1970s, Anik 1 became the first commercially operated domestic satellite in geostationary orbit. More recently, Anik F2 was the world's first satellite to successfully commercialize Ka-band for two-way high speed broadband services.
