Government & Defense
Using low earth orbit satellites and a gateway-less design, Rivada has developed an orbital network that offers low latency, high throughput connectivity that never touches the public Internet or third party networks. The Outernet’s unique architecture delivers unparalleled security and global reach with true point-to-point services.
Evolving Threats, Emerging Opportunities
The global communications landscape is changing rapidly. Resilient and secure connectivity is needed in new places while legacy communications systems are under attack by both state and non-state actors. Undersea cables are being cut and satellites are being jammed, intercepted and hacked. To address these challenges, Rivada is creating the Outernet – the first truly global private network.
Comprising 600 satellites at 1050km altitude, Rivada’s proliferated LEO system is inherently resilient to radioelectronic and cyber-attacks. It will create a free-standing optical backbone in orbit using intersatellite laser links.
Our advanced in-orbit routers connect via laser links to form a private network in space that can be accessed through Ka-band user terminals from anywhere on the globe. Your data travels from origin to destination over the Outernet without intermediate touchpoints on the ground, across any domain.
KEY FEATURES OF THE OUTERNET
-
SECURITY
Isolate your data streams from public and third-party networks. Connect directly with intersatellite links and without gateways.
-
UBIQUITY
Establish uninterrupted connectivity from pole to pole, across the world’s land, sea, and airspace. Global reach and mobility combine for true end-to-end connectivity everywhere.
-
HIGH THROUGHPUT
Access your private Layer 2 network over KA-band links with guaranteed data rates from 100 Mbps to multiple Gbps.
-
RESPONSIVENESS
Deploy and adapt your own virtual private network on demand, without reliance on dedicated infrastructure.
-
LOW LATENCY
Reach any point on Earth with laser-fast communications for unmatched low latency. Enable real-time remote operations worldwide.
-
RESILIENCE
Harness the power of an optical mesh network in the sky enabled by a distributed LEO architecture.
RESOURCES
“Rivada is building a uniquely capable LEO constellation focused on zero trust networking.” He added: “The combination of security, symmetrical uplink and downlink speeds and global coverage are unique, and we are excited to collaborate with Rivada on how the Navy can best take advantage of Rivada’s gateway-less architecture for innovation today and in the future. As the adversary evolves, we must continue to out-innovate, maneuver, and drive outcomes to support our global Navy Operational Ecosystem.”
