Rivada’s Outernet, the first unified global communications network.
The Rivada Outernet is a next-generation low-Earth orbit satellite constellation. When fully deployed it will provide gigabit-speed connectivity to any point on the globe, without needing to touch the public internet or any third-party infrastructure. Combining inter-satellite laser links with advanced onboard processing and unique routing and switching capabilities, this optical mesh network, in which data stays in space from origin to destination, creates an ultra-secure infrastructure with pole-to-pole coverage, offering end-to-end latencies much lower than terrestrial fiber over similar long distances.
For Enterprise and Government customers, the key attributes of the Outernet are ideal for a variety of applications. Rivada’s Outernet, for example, allows banks and other multinationals to create secure, single-domain networks between widely distributed offices. It provides significantly more bandwidth for oil & gas exploration firms than is available today, enables seamless connectivity for shipping & fleet management, and provides 5G satellite backhaul connectivity for network expansion to cellular operators. Connectivity providers in Asia can gain a competitive advantage by expanding their offerings in these markets, enabling new opportunities through secure, multi-gigabit bi-directional performance, combined with worldwide reach.
Donald Chew, Rivada’s VP of Sales for Asia, said: “With more than US$13.5 billion of business globally for its unique LEO network and a growing number of key regional partners, we are seeing a huge uptake in our business in Asia, underlining the growing appetite for our unique space-based network.” Chew added: “The Outernet’s ability to meet the requirements of Asia’s connectivity providers in terms of security, latency, capacity, and coverage is a game-changer for the region. With his extensive experience with Singtel Satellite and with CPI Satcom, I’m delighted to welcome Chiun Maw Teo to the Rivada team.”
Declan Ganley, CEO of Rivada, said: “Asia’s subsea cables, which carry much of the world’s data traffic, are increasingly becoming a focal point of geopolitical tensions, with frequent cable cuts resulting in severe outages. More than ever, the Asia Pacific region needs resilient infrastructure, that is fast, secure and reliable. The Outernet is key to enhancing the region’s telecommunications infrastructure, support national digital strategies, ensure uninterrupted connectivity and expand international bandwidth.”
