Next-Generation Network is Key for Mission-Critical Infrastructure
MUNICH and BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 30,2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Globalsat Group a global provider of mission-critical satellite and wirelessconnectivity solutions is partnering with RivadaSpace Networks to provide accessto a unique next-generation data network for customers in the energy,government, NGO, agriculture, utilities and transportation sectors throughoutthe Americas and beyond.
Globalsat is an industry leader in mobile and othersatellite services providing specialized voice, data, M2M/IoT, software, andhardware throughout the Americas since 1999. Most customers use these serviceswhere life or infrastructure are at stake or exceptional circumstances when orwhere other connectivity networks cannot operate reliably or at all.
The increasing demand for resilient connectivity isfast outpacing the current infrastructure used to carry it in terms of latency,bandwidth, speed and security.
Rivada's global low-latency point-to-pointconnectivity network of 600 low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, the "OuterNET™" is a unique next-generationarchitecture combing inter-satellite laser links with advanced onboardprocessing that provide unique routing and switching capabilities to create anoptical mesh network in space. This approach to "orbital networking,"in which data stays in space from origin to destination, creates anultra-secure satellite network with global coverage, offering end-to-endlatencies much lower than terrestrial fiber over similar longdistances. And by routing traffic on a physically separated network, itprovides a layer of defense for any organization that needs to securely sharedata over a large distribution of sites.
Globalsat Group will add Rivada's OuterNET™ seamlessconnectivity to its diverse roster of mission-critical solutions, as an optionto ramp up performance and increase customer efficiency. This connectivityis particularly well suited to remote geographic installation use casesrequiring real-time applications and monitoring regardless of location, whenhigh bandwidth, reduced latency and improved security are required.
"Globalsat CEO, Alberto Palacios, said:"Rivada's OuterNET™ will deliver ultra-secure and reliableconnectivity anywhere in the world and is particularly relevant for businessand government operations within our footprint. We are very excited with thispartnership, which will allow our current and future customers to access theenormous improvements this unique LEO constellation will provide over legacyinfrastructure, as we strive to develop new technologies and services thatenhance our customers' experience and improve their ability to operate inremote and challenging environments."
Declan Ganley, CEO,Rivada Space Networks, said: "We are delighted to be working with such aninnovative company as Globalsat and honored to be chosen as their enterprisegrade LEO operator forLatin America. The OuterNET™, acompletely new type of LEO constellation, allows satellites to go beyond theirtraditional role of 'gap-filler' and this fully inter-connected space network,independent of terrestrial infrastructure, is rapidly becoming the network ofchoice for resilient and secure communications."
Rivada's OuterNET™ will solveessential connectivity challenges and open up new opportunities for businesscommunications globally. The first satellite launch is set for 2025, withglobal service starting in 2026.
