From agentic AI systems and command and control to financial trading and remote mining operations, organizations today depend on low latency data transmission more than ever before. What’s needed now is an entirely new foundation—one designed from the outset for real-time responsiveness. A network that puts low latency applications first.

This white paper presents a new model for air-gapped connectivity. By integrating Cisco 8000 series secure routers running a modern SDN solution with Rivada’s Outernet, organizations can establish a controlled electronic air gap. The white paper is being presented at the SATELLITE 2026 event in Washington, D.C.

CMA, a trusted IT solutions provider offering cutting-edge technology solutions, from cybersecurity to high performance computing to communications, partners with Rivada to provide resiliency for high quality voice, video and data solutions and a new level of cybersecurity for enterprise and government sectors requiring secure infrastructure.

Rivada’s transition to a new spectrum under its German ITU filing is more than a regulatory footnote; it is a structural reset that transforms spectrum from a looming constraint into a huge, durable advantage for the Outernet.

Rivada Networks’ COO Francis O’Flaherty discusses the way that enterprises connect, the desire for private sovereign networks, and key industry trends emerging from one of the world’s biggest tech events, MWC in Barcelona.

The digital landscape is under siege. Cybercrime is no longer a technical nuisance—it’s a strategic threat. With global damages projected to reach $10.5 trillion USD by 2025, cyberattacks now represent what some call the largest transfer of wealth in human history. If cybercrime were an economy, it would rank third after the U.S. and China. This shift elevates digital infrastructure from a technical asset to a pillar of national security and economic resilience.

Space is supposed to be used peacefully. However, this does not apply to military satellite communications. At the Munich Cyber Security Conference 2026, it became clear that the Starlink system is also vulnerable. An independent network is needed.

For decades, space was imagined as a kind of neutral commons — a quiet layer of infrastructure floating serenely above earthly conflict. At the Munich Cyber Security Conference this week, that idea sounded less like policy and more like nostalgia.

The digital world is under siege. Hackers, organized crime, and rogue nation-states relentlessly probe for vulnerabilities, exploiting any weakness to compromise sensitive data. If the best-prepared and best-equipped organizations in the world can fall prey to these attacks, how can others hope to defend themselves using the same vulnerable infrastructure?
