About Us

We’re not just building a satellite constellation; we’re forging a new era of global connectivity and cultivating an environment where innovation thrives and every individual is empowered to reach their full potential.

The world needs a global communications network that is sovereign and resilient by design. The Outernet is our answer: a laser-linked mesh network in low-Earth orbit that routes data through space itself, delivering low-latency, secure connectivity to governments, critical infrastructure, and enterprises anywhere on Earth — independent of the vulnerable public internet and fragile undersea cables.

Rivada Space Networks exists to build and operate the Outernet. We engineer and deploy the world’s first truly point-to-point orbital mesh constellation of laser-linked satellites, purpose-built to deliver secure, sovereign connectivity that never touches the public internet or terrestrial choke points. Through a wholesale model and uncompromising technical standards, we enable governments, critical infrastructure operators, and enterprises to own and control their own communications.
