Unlike other satellite constellations partially dependent on fiber interconnected ground stations, the Outernet moves data across a high-capacity, totally private, and secure optically interlinked satellite network, never touching the ground. Outernet users access its satellite network directly via inter-company terminals, ensuring absolute security and protection from terrestrial fiber disruption.

A GSOA webinar produced in association with SpaceBQ, featuring Rivada’s Chief Commercial Officer, Ronald van der Breggen.

The discussion centred on the key drivers of development and innovation in the satellite industry, emphasising that customer needs are the main motivators. This reflects a shift from prioritising throughput to enhancing resilience. Panellists noted a transition from simply reducing launch and satellite costs to leveraging these technologies to create profitable business models.

In Germany, the current lack of innovation and the fear of a dwindling economic power play a major role. But there is hope: A strong space cluster has been developing Bavaria for years, enabling new innovations. This article was published in ‘Starkes Land Bayern’. This is a regional business magazine that appears twice a year as a supplement in the Bavarian edition of Europe's highest-circulation news magazine DER SPIEGEL.

Dr. Clemens Kaiser from Rivada Space speaks to Annette Weisbach, business journalist for international media such as CNBC, Bloomberg and DW-TV for over 15 years, providing exciting insights into the future of satellite communications and explain how this technology enables secure data transmission – both for companies and governments.

Rivada Space from Munich is building a satellite internet for companies only, similar to SpaceX's Starlink. The project is backed by well-known investors and high-ranking US politicians.

The USA and EU are on an economic policy collision course with China. Many companies are suffering as a result. For some, however, the conflicts are also creating new opportunities.

We welcomed the German journalist Thomas Magenheim in our brand new office in Munich. Clemens Kaiser discussed with him the business model of the OuterNET and the differences to the Starlink model as well as regulatory and investment topics.

Besides the "official" satellite constellation that the European Union wants to commission, Rivada Space Networks from Munich and Berlin is also working on a commercial European alternative to Starlink.

A satellite broadband network called Iris² is to become the second major EU space program for end users alongside the Galileo navigation satellites. Two young companies from Munich could preempt the EU. They are developing their own large satellite constellations - with different concepts.

This documentary on German television tells the story of Matthias Spott, an entrepreneur who developed the basic idea of the business model on which Rivada Space Networks is built today. It looks at spaceflight from military, geopolitical and business perspectives.
