The Ka-band service, powered by Telesat, uses a "spot beam" approach to deliver satellite broadband access. In Canada, Telesat uses regional spot beams to provide national broadband coverage. The benefit of using spot beams is a more concentrated signal, which results in smaller dish sizes and affordable service package pricing for the end user.

The Ka-band service provides various data transfer speeds and price points to meet a wide range of home and business requirements.

In order to receive the Ka-band service powered by Telesat, the customer must have an outdoor unit (ODU) - a small 67 cm satellite dish - located somewhere on the premises as well as an indoor unit (IDU) - satellite modem - which is connected to the customer's computer.
