Operators in Search of Growth
Global data demand is accelerating faster than terrestrial infrastructure can scale and raw capacity isn’t the only problem. Security, reach, and resilience matter just as much. Most networks can deliver one or two, but Rivada’s Outernet delivers all three.
The Outernet for Telecoms
Satellite connectivity has spent decades earning a reputation as the option of last resort, the fallback when terrestrial networks can’t get it done. The Outernet isn’t a better fallback. It’s a new category entirely.
The Outernet delivers Carrier Ethernet via LEO — the same private network standard that underpins the world’s most secure enterprise and government connectivity, available globally with latencies that match or beat terrestrial fiber. For telecom operators, that opens a direct path into high-value verticals that have historically been underserved by satellite and constrained by the physical limits of terrestrial infrastructure.
Extend Your Network Beyond Fiber
The Outernet gives carriers a seamless, scalable way to win enterprise and government contracts that demand true privacy and offer a grade of secure performance, without the need to rebuild their core infrastructure.
Applications and Opportunities for Telcos
Network Extension on Demand
Extend the reach of your terrestrial networks 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. Stay connected during natural and manmade disasters and cyberattacks thanks to the Outernet’s independence from terrestrial networks, undersea cables, and the public internet.
Connect Mobile Users
No matter where they are on land, in the air, or at sea, connect mobile users to your terrestrial networks using the Outernet as your last mile, or more.
SD-WAN-ready for Complimentary Connectivity
Complement terrestrial routes with Outernet connectivity for the 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 global Carrier Ethernet solution to your product portfolio. Deploy end-to-end solutions within a single domain or network. Deliver Our Mplify (formerly known as MEF) certified Carrier Ethernet and augment your SD-WAN services with our purpose-built orbital mesh network. Easy integration and automation with your systems and your customers using our full Mplify 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 lower latency on intercontinental routes by bypassing terrestrial networks.
Agile Network Reconfiguration
Adapt your network instantaneously to match the changing needs of your customers. The Outernet’s centralized orchestration ensures zero touch network configuration and management. Mplify standardized APIs enable easy integration with service providers’ and customers’ systems. The Outernet connects premises directly without the need to pull fiber or dig trenches, so you can deploy or restore services in hours instead of weeks.
Total Data Sovereignty
Offer the most secure end-to-end connectivity to your cybersecurity sensitive customers in knowledge-based industries, finance, government, and critical infrastructure sectors. Provide users full sovereignty over their data, and independence from any other networks, including the internet or undersea cables.
