Satellite Communication Company Rivada Space Networks Joins GSOA
Rivada Space Networks (RSN) has joined the Global Satellite Operators Association (GSOA). It will work alongside other global satellite operators to realize GSOA’s aims to drive industry leadership in the face of unparalleled innovation in the space sector, an insatiable demand for all types of connectivity, and a need to bring sustainability to space.
“On behalf of GSOA and its members, I am delighted to welcome Rivada Space Networks as our newest Associate Member.”
Aarti Holla-Maini, GSOA Secretary General.
GSOA is recognized as the representative body for satellite operators by international, regional, and national bodies including regulators, policymakers, standards-setting organizations such as 3GPP and international organizations such as the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and the World Economic Forum (WEF). The Global Satellite Operators Association provides a platform for collaboration between satellite operators globally and a unified voice for the sector. Through GSOA, the satellite sector is working to respond to requirements for a better data-driven society. Robust and scalable satellite infrastructure is ideally placed to bridge social, education and healthcare divides as well as, to be part of the 5G and IoT ecosystems.
Rivada Space Will be an Ideal Addition to the GSOA, Organization Says
“On behalf of GSOA and its members, I am delighted to welcome Rivada Space Networks as our newest Associate Member,” said Aarti Holla-Maini, GSOA Secretary General. “Our vision is to help policymakers improve the state of the world with global connectivity as the foundation of an inclusive, resilient and secure society. Rivada’s mission to develop an innovative global constellation network to ensure meaningful connectivity for everyone, makes them an ideal addition to GSOA. We look forward to working with them as they roll out their next-generation, highly secure, LEO constellation”.
"We look forward to working with [GOSA] to achieve the goal of a more connected, secure and sustainable world," said Rivada Space Networks Chief Regulatory Officer, Ann Vandenbroucke. "As firm believers in common infrastructure platforms for public use, we will leverage the strengths of our satellite communication system together with our unique Open Access Wireless Market Platform to enable an efficient use of satellite spectrum and provide an independent and secure communications infrastructure for Europe”.
"Our membership of GSOA clearly demonstrates our commitment to building a strong and resilient communications ecosystem and infrastructure for Europe," said Severin Meister, Rivada Space Networks CEO. "The key attributes of RSN’s laser-linked LEO constellation architecture include global reach, low latency, ultra-security, resilience and quantum encryption. Having just recently joined the EU’s multi-stakeholder Secure Connectivity Programme and the ITU Partner2Connect initiative to further digital transformation, we are rapidly moving forward with executing Rivada’s vision of a secure and accessible digital future for all."
