On this Constellations Podcast hear about a communications network that does not have to touch the Internet. Declan Ganley, CEO of Rivada and Konrad Nieradka, Vice President of Product Management of Rivada discuss connected communications with a laser mesh network in space and how standards like Carrier Ethernet are shaping the future of enterprise communications.

For governments, having a secure communication network is crucial. That’s why Rivada Space Networks developed a highly secure communication network, called the OuterNet™. With its unique architecture, Rivada enables a truly private network that doesn’t depend on gateways.

At the GovSatCom’24 in Luxembourg, our VP of Sales, Joe Apa, gave insights into the OuterNet™. You can now watch his full presentation on “The OuterNet™: Dawn of the Gatewayless Architecture”.

Rivada's OuterNET™ is a unique, high value, secure network that can be integrated into turn-key solutions for government or commercial costumers requiring ultra-secure transmission for some percentage of their data.

The satellite industry is experiencing significant shifts due to evolving market dynamics and emerging technologies. As market demands evolve, satellite service providers face the challenge of navigating this transformative period. One key strategy emerging is the convergence of GEO, MEO and LEO satellites to meet diverse user needs. End users prioritise seamless connectivity and expect service providers to handle the technical aspects of satellite orbits. GSOA Webinar with Ronald van der Breggen, CCO of Rivada Space Networks.

On the last day of the Munich Security Conference, Torsten Kriening spoke with Declan Ganley, CEO of Rivada Space Networks about the demands for secure data communication and the current status of the Outernet development by Rivada Space Network.

With the "OuterNET™", consisting of 600 satellites, Rivada Space Networks wants to build a European communications network for companies and governments. The Handelsblatt journal editorial team learnt why this is necessary from Declan Ganley, CEO of the German satellite operator Rivada Space Networks.

Rivada Networks’ CEO and Executive Chairman, Declan Ganley, considers the increasing convergence of terrestrial and satellite networks, and discusses the creation of Rivada’s OuterNET™, a secure, global communication network of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Will the OuterNET spark a new era of hyper-connected communication and what will the future of enterprise connectivity look like as a result?

2023 was quite a year for the companies with heavy bets in Low-Earth Orbit. Eutelsat completed its deal for OneWeb. Amazon launched its prototype satellites for Project Kuiper. Telesat swapped manufacturers to move forward with its Lightspeed network. Starlink continued to launch satellites at a dizzying rate. Add to that new players such as E-Space and Rivada are also looking to make an impact as the world seems to be going LEO.

In the humanitarian sector, satellite communications contribute considerably to relief efforts in areas without reliable cellular service – from portable connectivity kits for first responders and drone surveillance to coordination of food distribution and e-learning programmes. Digital technologies are facilitating aid operations like never before.
