Space emerges as new front in great power competition, officials warn
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.
Satellite Networks - The Battle in Space is Already Underway
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.
Security and Peace in Europe Are Threatened
Handelsblatt discussed with Clemens Kaiser, Deputy CEO and Chief Program Officer of Rivada Space Networks, why space and defense belong together and what priorities Germany should set.
Shutting down the internet is easy
"Imagine 600 satellites forming a kind of fishing net around the globe and communicating with each other". This network would be completely independent of underground cables." The Outernet would be a back-up internet that would keep the most important vital functions of digital civilization running in the event that the cable-based internet were destroyed.
Declan Ganley’s Outernet: a private data network in space
The Irish entrepreneur is shooting for the moon at Rivada with his dream of building the world’s fastest, most secure private data network
Declan Ganley's life is straight out of a John le Carré thriller. He is working on a top secret plan to build the Outernet — the world’s first fully private, secure global data network in space. There are rockets, billions of dollars, Chinese state actors and a slew of litigation involved.
Moving the Internet to Space
Recent years have brought growing demand for enhanced inter-satellite data routing, connectivity and communications services in modern warfighting missions. Having a web of interconnected assets in space that can provide resilient, satellite-based capabilities that stretch beyond the ground segment is becoming increasingly crucial to the U.S. military.
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 is the Trusted Infrastructure Layer for Telcos in the Middle East
“The most important thing we’re doing is providing governments and enterprises with a truly sovereign alternative to legacy infrastructure — not just more encryption, but a physical network they can control. What we call the Outernet is a mesh of satellites with inter-satellite links and ground stations that gives entities complete command over how and where their data travels. That’s become massively important — especially in the Middle East.”
Why Outernet is the infrastructure layer you didn’t know you needed
As data sovereignty, infrastructure resilience and trusted communications take centre stage in the Middle East at CABSAT, CCO Ronald van der Breggen speaks about how the company’s Outernet architecture fits into the regional landscape, where it differs from consumer LEO constellations, and why it sees itself not as a competitor to terrestrial telcos, but their most resilient ally.
As Geopolitcal Threats Rise, Telecom Providers Rush to Rivada
As geopolitical tensions rise and sabotage of undersea communications cables becomes a critical issue, telecommunication companies and major globally dispersed enterprise businesses are seeking a secure, fail proof communications infrastructure, and that's driving them to the Outernet.
