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. And not all constellations are created equal. Rivada’s “OuterNET” is much more than just a last mile bridge between the user and the nearest Internet gateway. Our private network in space, comprising satellites equipped with laser links and advanced routers, can be accessed through Ka-band user terminals from anywhere on the globe. Data travels quickly and securely, premise-to-premise over the Rivada network without intermediate touchpoints on the ground. Curious to find out how the OuterNET allows the telcos and service providers to tap into new revenue streams and help to expand your customer base?
