Breaking barriers, building networks

Rivada Space Networks aims to deliver gigabit-speed internet globally bypassing the public internet and third-party infrastructure, including on the ground. The project rests on a constellation of 600 LEO satellites, test launches for which will begin next year. With full delivery expected by the end of 2027, it has already secured $16bn in contracts, most recently from the US Navy.

“The Outernet’s ability to meet the requirements of the Middle East’s connectivity providers in terms of security, latency, capacity and coverage is a gamechanger for the region,” Ronald van der Breggen, Rivada’s Chief Commercial Officer said in an interview with SatellitePro ME.
