Commercis Partners with Rivada for Next Generation Connectivity

 Unique LEO Satellite Network is Key for Resilient Connectivity and Business Growth

• Unique global data constellation using satellite-to-satellite laser links
• Ultra-secure and low latency network
• Combining the speed of fibre with the reach of satellite
• Telecom, Enterprise, Maritime, Energy and Government Services markets

MUNICH and LONDON, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Commercis, a leading communication and technology company, is partnering with Rivada Space Networks to provide a unique next generation connectivity network with the necessary security and performance to drive digital innovation and transformation. Rivada has now lined up over $US18 billion of business globally for its unique LEO network.  

Commercis delivers cutting-edge connectivity, communication and technology solutions that empower enterprise customers, government agencies and diplomatic missions worldwide. As the demand for secure, rapid data transfer continues to grow, placing unprecedented pressure on existing digital infrastructures, organizations in oil & gas, banking, security, defense, and telecommunications seek innovative, future-focused networking and cybersecurity technologies. At Commercis, we prioritize security, speed, and resilience, providing integrated solutions that protect critical data, enhance operational agility, and ensure seamless, reliable performance in an increasingly digital and threat-prone landscape.

Rivada's global low-latency point-to-point connectivity network of 600 low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, the "Outernet," is a unique next-generation architecture combing inter-satellite laser links with advanced onboard processing that provide unique routing and switching capabilities to create an optical mesh network in space. This approach to "orbital networking," 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 similar long distances. And by routing traffic on a physically separated network, it provides a layer of defence for any organisation that needs to securely share data between widely distributed sites.

Commercis will harness Rivada's Outernet to provide resiliency for high quality voice, video and data solutions and a new level of cybersecurity to the enterprise and government sectors that require secure infrastructure. The Outernet's fast, seamless and secure connectivity will ramp up network performance and enable true digital transformation and new business opportunities through multi-gigabit bi-directional performance, combined with worldwide reach.

Alan Afrasiab, CEO at Commercis said, "We are truly excited about this partnership, which advances our commitment to delivering agile, secure, and high-performance solutions. Our goal is to create new opportunities for organizations seeking innovative, scalable, flexible, and resilient connectivity to support their expanding networks. Rivada's Outernet introduces a groundbreaking digital architecture that seamlessly integrates innovation with resilience, providing engineering certainty in an unpredictable world. This collaboration ensures a more secure and reliable future for our customers and the critical infrastructure they depend on, reinforcing our dedication to advancing communications technology with embedded cybersecurity in an increasingly complex digital landscape. It also complements well our established terrestrial, geostationary satellite, gateway earth station and data centre facilities."

Declan Ganley, CEO, Rivada Space Networks, said: "We are delighted to be working with a trusted network provider such as Commercis to develop space-based solutions to power digital transformation." Ganley added: "In the digital economy, the security and resilience of communications is becoming hugely important. Global subsea cables, which carry much of the world's data traffic, are increasingly becoming a focal point of geopolitical tensions, with frequent cable cuts resulting in severe outages. The Outernet is key to enhancing the telecommunications infrastructure in terms of data sovereignty and security, supporting AI digital strategies, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity and expanding the reach of international networks."

Commercis will join Rivada's Customer Advisory Board and conduct a series of technical workshops to structure the collaboration and exchange information on the Outernet's capabilities.
