Telecoms
The world is increasingly data-driven, cloud-based and trans-national, creating an ever-growing demand to move large quantities of data quickly and securely around the globe. Data is growing at a faster rate than ever before. 90% of the world’s data was created in the last two years.
In recent times, satellite networks have been perceived as a last choice for network connectivity only when terrestrial connectivity is not available. Now, a truly unique LEO satellite network architecture, the Outernet, will provide opportunities for telecom operators that will give them access to previously unavailable levels of secure network performance combined with worldwide reach.
Private network services such as Carrier Ethernet form the foundation of global secure connectivity for enterprise and government end users. Rivada’s Outernet delivers highly secure Carrier Ethernet via a LEO satellite network, directly from rooftop to rooftop, introducing unique new opportunities for telcos to expand services in these key verticals.
The Rivada Outernet offers network operators a seamless, scalable, easy-to-deploy solution for expanding their offerings beyond the edge of their current networks.
Applications and Opportunities for Telcos
Network Extension on Demand
Extend the reach of your terrestrial networks without expensive capital expenditure and multi-year deployment efforts. Test new markets, set up temporary networks at will or establish footholds for future terrestrial expansion.
Enhanced Resiliency
Protect your critical communication routes with the Outernet as your resilient connectivity layer. Stay connected during natural and manmade disasters and cyberattacks thanks to the Outernet’s independence from terrestrial networks, undersea cables, and the public Internet.
Connect Mobile Users
No matter where they are on land, in the air, or at sea, connect mobile users to your terrestrial networks using the Outernet as your last mile, or more.
SD-WAN-ready for Complimentary Connectivity
Complement terrestrial routes with Outernet connectivity for the most demanding customers and applications. The Metro Ethernet Forum certified services are ready to be used in an SD-WAN environment.
Key Features
A Global Standards-Based Carrier Ethernet Network
Add a global Carrier Ethernet solution to your product portfolio. Deploy end-to-end solutions within a single domain or network. Deliver Our Mplify (formerly known as MEF) certified Carrier Ethernet and augment your SD-WAN services with our purpose-built orbital mesh network. Easy integration and automation with your systems and your customers using our full Mplify LSO API set. Avoid the need for peering and dramatically reduce the complexity of deploying global services thanks to our single global LEO satellite network. Achieve lower latency on intercontinental routes by bypassing terrestrial networks.
Agile Network Reconfiguration
Adapt your network instantaneously to match the changing needs of your customers. The Outernet’s centralized orchestration ensures zero touch network configuration and management. Mplify standardized APIs enable easy integration with service providers’ and customers’ systems. The Outernet connects premises directly without the need to pull fiber or dig trenches, so you can deploy or restore services in hours instead of weeks.
Total Data Sovereignty
Offer the most secure end-to-end connectivity to your cybersecurity sensitive customers in knowledge-based industries, finance, government, and critical infrastructure sectors. Provide users full sovereignty over their data, and independence from any other networks, including the Internet or undersea cables.
