Rivada has now secured market access for its Outernet constellation across the Nordic region, including Finland, Sweden and Denmark, bringing the total number of countries with market access to 20. Success in obtaining the national rights to establish and operate a new satellite communications network in low earth orbit is important for the Nordic region particularly in the light of increasing attacks on shared critical infrastructure.

Rivada has in the last year secured market access for its Outernet constellation in 18 countries and on every continent. These countries include U.K., Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Colombia, Namibia, and more are in the pipeline.

Rivada Space Networks CEO Declan Ganley discusses what makes Rivada’s Outernet unique.

Unlike other satellite constellations partially dependent on fiber interconnected ground stations, the Outernet moves data across a high-capacity, totally private, and secure optically interlinked satellite network, never touching the ground. Outernet users access its satellite network directly via inter-company terminals, ensuring absolute security and protection from terrestrial fiber disruption.

This discussion centred on the key drivers of development and innovation in the satellite industry, emphasising that customer needs are the main motivators, reflecting a shift from prioritising throughput to enhancing resilience.

Colt Technology Services, a global digital infrastructure company, is partnering with Rivada Space Networks to provide a unique next generation connectivity network with the necessary speed, security and performance to drive digital innovation and transformation.

In Germany, the current lack of innovation and the fear of a dwindling economic power play a major role. But there is hope: A strong space cluster has been developing Bavaria for years, enabling new innovations. This article was published in ‘Starkes Land Bayern’.

Dr. Clemens Kaiser from Rivada Space speaks to Annette Weisbach, business journalist for international media such as CNBC, Bloomberg and DW-TV for over 15 years, providing exciting insights into the future of satellite communications and explain how this technology enables secure data transmission – both for companies and governments.

Rivada Space Networks CEO Declan Ganley said Sept. 17 the sale of satellite supplier Terran Orbital to Lockheed Martin is a “real confidence builder” for the operator’s investors, while remaining guarded about financing the multi-billion-dollar constellation.
