Rivada Space Networks Announces New Partners
Unveiled at AsiaTechX 2024
A series of new partners in the Asia Pacific region was announced by Rivada Space Networks at the AsiaTechX 2024 trade show. Rivada has now lined up over $9 billion in business globally for its planned, 600 satellite LEO network.
"We are seeing a huge uptake in our business in Asia, underlining the growing appetite for our unique space-based network."
Declan Ganley, Rivada Space Networks
Rivada's outernet is a low-latency point-to-point network of 600 LEO satellites combining inter-satellite laser links with advanced onboard processing and routing to create a ubiquitous optical mesh network in space. This "orbital network," in which data stays in space from origin to destination, creates an ultra-secure, private satellite network with pole-to-pole coverage, offering end-to-end latencies much lower than terrestrial fiber over long distances. And by routing traffic on a physically separated network, it provides a layer of defense for any enterprise or government organization that needs to securely share data across Asia and beyond.
For Enterprise and Government customers, the attributes of the outernet facilitate a variety of applications, for example, to give banks and global companies secured networks with distributed offices, provide significantly more bandwidth for oil & gas exploration than is available today, enable seamless connectivity for shipping & fleet management, or provide 5G satellite backhaul connectivity network expansion for cellular operators. Connectivity providers in Asia can offer a competitive advantage by expanding these markets, enabling new opportunities.
The partners announced at AsiaTechX 2024 include:
KT SAT – Korea
KT SAT, Korea's national satellite communications provider will deploy Rivada's outernet to provide ultra-secure connectivity to Enterprise, Government and Maritime companies looking for scalable and resilient solutions for their expanding networks. And with Asia's subsea cables increasingly becoming a focal point of geopolitical tensions, the region now, more than ever, needs resilient infrastructure, which is fast, secure, and reliable.
Connecto Network Systems Inc. (CNSI) – Philippines
Connecto Network Systems Inc, will work with Rivada to improve connectivity for enterprise and government customers across the Philippines, ensuring seamless coverage, even in remote provinces. Connecto is spearheading the transformation of communities into smart cities, harnessing cutting-edge technologies to boost operational efficiency, facilitate public access to information and elevate the quality of government services.
NiAT – Brunei
NiAT is a key provider of connectivity services for the Oil & Gas sector in Brunei. The company is experiencing an increased demand for high bandwidth connectivity from its customer base and sees Rivada's outernet as the ideal solution to provide enterprise-grade, secure bandwidth combined with the high availability and guaranteed Service-Level-Agreements which underpins business for premium customers.
AT Communications - Japan
AT Communications provides national agencies with secure communications infrastructure for their sites across Japan and supports telcos with international connectivity. AT Communications will harness the outernet's seamless connectivity to ramp up performance, improve security, and increase customer efficiency. Rivada's outernet is particularly well suited for the low latency and secure connectivity required by national and local government and defense sectors.
Teleport Access Services - Taiwan
TAS will deploy Rivada's outernet to enhance the connectivity infrastructure in Taiwan, providing coverage of remote and underserved areas and ushering in a new era of secure communications and technological innovation. For telecoms services providers, government agencies and media companies, the deployment of LEO satellite services in Taiwan will drive positive change and empower communities through enhanced connectivity.
"We are seeing a huge uptake in our business in Asia, underlining the growing appetite for our unique space-based network," said Declan Ganley, CEO of Rivada Space Networks. "The outernet's ability to meet the requirements of Asia's connectivity providers in terms of security, latency, capacity, and coverage is a game-changer for the region. Our completely new type of LEO constellation will provide the whole of Asia with a transformative next-generation infrastructure for secure, resilient communications and network expansion."
