Ibadan, 30 April 2025. – Rivada Space Networks has secured market access to its Outernet constellation in 33 countries and every continent, with Belgium, the Czech Republic, Sweden, and Costa Rica being the latest. The market access includes communications service agreements with nations, governments, and corporations worth more than $16 billion for Outernet connectivity, with initial tests set for 2026.
Resilient, secure communications are increasingly vital to businesses and governments in an evolving digital economy. As a result, the new markets are part of Rivada’s Outernet roadmap to ensure a robust communications infrastructure, ensuring access to ubiquitous coverage, low latency, resiliency, and flexibility support for digital development and security across the globe.
The Outernet is the first unified global communications platform, a unique next-generation constellation of 600 laser-linked LEO satellites that provide a ubiquitous, highly secure optical mesh network in space. This “orbital network,” in which data stays in space from origin to destination, creates an ultra-secure satellite network with pole-to-pole coverage, offering end-to-end latencies much lower than terrestrial fiber over long distances.
Furthermore, by routing traffic on a physically separated network, it provides a layer of defense for any organization that needs to securely share data between widely distributed sites.
Declan Ganley, Rivada Space Networks CEO, explains, “We commit to ensuring that the Outernet is available globally to help solve essential connectivity and networking challenges and open up new business opportunities around the world.”
“Businesses and governments across the globe have signed connectivity agreements worth more than $16 billion to date, underlining the demand and need for the secure communications capabilities of the Outernet, which is now poised to provide access in 33 countries and across every continent.” Ganley concluded.
