Ibadan, 9 January 2025. – Rivada Space Networks has expanded its Asia Pacific Team with the appointment of satellite industry veteran Chiun Maw Teo as Sales Director APAC. Mr. Teo will be based in Singapore and focus on the telecoms sector, providing the most demanding enterprise and government customers with Rivada’s highly secure, high-bandwidth, global connectivity network.
The Rivada Outernet is a next-generation low-Earth orbit satellite constellation intending to provide gigabit-speed connectivity to any point on the globe, without needing to touch the public internet or any third-party infrastructure. For Enterprise and Government customers, the Outernet’s key attributes are ideal for multiple applications. For example, banks and other multinationals can create secure, single-domain networks between widely distributed offices.
Outernet will also provide significantly more bandwidth for oil & gas exploration firms, enable seamless connectivity for shipping & fleet management, and provide 5G satellite backhaul connectivity for network expansion to cellular operators. As a result, connectivity providers in Asia can gain a competitive advantage by expanding their offerings in these markets, enabling new opportunities through secure, multi-gigabit bi-directional performance, combined with worldwide reach.
Commenting on Chiun Maw Teo’s appointment, Donald Chew, Rivada’s VP of Sales for Asia, said, “With more than US$13.5 billion of business globally for its unique LEO network and a growing number of key regional partners, we are seeing a huge uptake in our business in Asia, underlining the growing appetite for our unique space-based network.”
Chew also added, “The Outernet’s ability to meet the requirements of Asia’s connectivity providers in terms of security, latency, capacity, and coverage is a game-changer for the region. With his extensive experience with Singtel Satellite and with CPI Satcom, I’m delighted to welcome Chiun Maw Teo to the Rivada team.”
