The Outernet for Telcos

New Opportunities for Telecom Operators in Search of Growth

The world is increasingly data-driven, cloud-based and trans-national, creating an ever-growing demand to move large quantities of data quickly and securely around the globe. Data is growing at a faster rate than ever before. 90% percent of the world’s data was created in the last two years. And every two years, the volume of data across the world doubles in size.

To date, satellite networks have been perceived as a last choice for network connectivity only when terrestrial connectivity is not available. Now, a truly unique LEO satellite network architecture, the Outernet will provide opportunities for telecom operators which will give them access to previously unavailable levels of secure network performance combined with worldwide reach.

Private network services such as Carrier Ethernet form the foundation of global secure connectivity for enterprise and government end users and an important part of the Telco business. Rivada’s Outernet delivers highly secure Carrier Ethernet via a LEO satellite network, directly from rooftop to rooftop, introducing unique new opportunities for telcos to expand services in these key verticals.

The Outenet is key for telcos requiring high throughput, low latency, operator grade security and mobility and rapid deployment and offers a sustainable growth path towards a future with high bandwidth demand and flexible 5G & 6G technologies.

Applications and Opportunities for Telcos

• Network Extension on Demand

  On demand extend the reach of your terrestrial network into new territories without expensive capital expenditure and multi-year deployment efforts. Test new markets, set up temporary networks at will or establish footholds for future terrestrial expansion.

• Enhanced Resiliency

  Protect your critical communication routes with the Outernet as your resilient connectivity layer. Resist natural and manmade disasters and cyberattacks thanks to the Outernet’s independence from terrestrial networks, undersea cables, and the public Internet.

• Connect Mobile Users

  Connect mobile users on land, in the air, and at sea to your terrestrial network using the Outernet as your remote access to a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

• SD-WAN-ready for Complementary Connectivity

  Complement terrestrial routes with Outernet connectivity for most demanding customers and applications. The Metro Ethernet Forum certified services are ready to be used in an SD-WAN environment.

Key Features

• A Global Standards-based Carrier Ethernet Network

  Add a truly global Carrier Ethernet solution to your product portfolio. Deploy end-to-end solutions within a single operator network.

  • Deliver MEF-certified Carrier Ethernet and augment your SD-WAN services with our purpose-built orbital mesh network.

  • Allow easy integration and automation with your and your customers’ systems using our full MEF LSO API set.

  • Avoid the need for peering and dramatically reduce the complexity of deploying global services thanks to our single global LEO satellite network.

  • Achieve low latency on intercontinental routes by bypassing terrestrial networks.

• Agile Network Reconfiguration

  Adapt your network instantaneously to match the changing needs of your customer. The Outernet’s centralized orchestration ensures zero touch network configuration and management. MEF standardized APIs enable easy integration with service providers’ and customers’ systems. By providing connecting end users directly without the need pull fiber or dig trenches, services can be deployed or restored in hours instead of weeks.

• Ultimate Data Sovereignty

  Offer the most secure end-to-end connectivity to your cybersecurity-sensitive customers in knowledge-based industries, finance, governments, and critical infrastructure sectors. Provide users full sovereignty over their data, and independence from any other networks, including the Internet or undersea cables.
