Rivada Space Networks and e3 Systems, a leading maritime Superyacht integrator and connectivity provider, have signed an MoU to provide innovative, fast, secure and seamless communications for the Superyacht sector. Rivada has now lined up more than US$13 billion of business globally for its unique LEO network.

Rivada has now secured market access for its Outernet constellation across the Nordic region, including Finland, Sweden and Denmark, bringing the total number of countries with market access to 20. Success in obtaining the national rights to establish and operate a new satellite communications network in low earth orbit is important for the Nordic region particularly in the light of increasing attacks on shared critical infrastructure.

Rivada has in the last year secured market access for its Outernet constellation in 18 countries and on every continent. These countries include U.K., Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Colombia, Namibia, and more are in the pipeline.

Colt Technology Services, a global digital infrastructure company, is partnering with Rivada Space Networks to provide a unique next generation connectivity network with the necessary speed, security and performance to drive digital innovation and transformation.

Peraton, a next-generation national security company and transformative enterprise IT provider, is partnering with Rivada Space Networks to offer a unique, ultra-secure low earth orbit network capability to support mission-critical U.S. government communications around the globe. 

Rivada Space Networks has strengthened its U.S. team through several key new hires. John Guiney joins as Chief Operations Officer; Michael Abad-Santos is Head of Sales for the U.S. and deputy Chief Commercial Officer; and Jeffrey Chandler has joined as Director of Sales, U.S.
