With many LEO constellations either launching or in the advanced planning stage, do we need another one? The answer is YES, if you are building a unique and highly disruptive solution for enterprise and government communications.

Today, data is an asset the protection of which needs to be forefront of many minds. Through cutting of undersea cables, interception of wired and wireless signals, breaching of endpoints, and hacking of entire networks, your rivals, competitors, enemies, and criminals can gain access to your data or disrupt your operations. The results have a financial and credibility impact and even legal liability.

To date, 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 which will give them access to previously unavailable levels of secure network performance combined with worldwide reach.

Remote operations are a fact of life in the oil & gas industry and modern off-shore production platforms are increasingly moving towards greater digitalization and automation to drive efficiency and safety. Rivada’s Outernet, a unique new LEO network architecture, will offer global energy operators access to sufficient secure network capacity to meet all their data-transfer needs in real time, all the time, anywhere on the planet.
