Rivada Space Networks Announces Partnership with Pulsar Solutions

The Outernet's low-latency, highly secure connectivity network will power and drive business growth

• High-speed global data constellation using satellite-to-satellite laser links
• Ultra-secure and extremely low-latency network
• Combining the speed of fiber with the reach of satellite
• Gateway-less architecture ensures security by design

WASHINGTON, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rivada Space Networks, a global network company launching a secure, low latency low earth orbit satellite network, has announced a new partnership with Pulsar International (Pulsar), to enable secure connectivity for customers in commercial maritime, Agri-tech, enterprise and government markets. Rivada has now lined up over $US16 billion of business globally for its unique LEO network.

Pulsar's innovative land mobile and maritime solutions will leverage Rivada's Outernet to provide resiliency for a range of data connectivity solutions and a new level of cybersecurity for customers that require secure infrastructure in places with limited or no connectivity. 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.

As the first unified global communications network, the Rivada Outernet is transformative. A next-generation low-Earth orbit satellite constellation designed to provide gigabit-speed connectivity to any point on the globe, without needing to touch the public internet or any third-party infrastructure. Combining inter-satellite laser links with advanced onboard processing and unique routing and switching capabilities, this optical mesh network, in which data stays in space from origin to destination, creates an ultra-secure network with pole-to-pole coverage, offering end-to-end latencies much lower than terrestrial fiber over similar long distances.

For Enterprise and Government customers, the key attributes of the Outernet are ideal for a variety of applications, for example, to give banks and global companies secured networks with distributed offices, provide significantly more bandwidth for oil & gas exploration than is available today, enable seamless connectivity for shipping & fleet management, or provide 5G satellite backhaul connectivity network expansion for cellular operators. And with the continued expansion of the data-center market to be AI-ready, data resiliency and security are paramount for future-ready infrastructure and integrated systems that adhere to the highest standards of safety and privacy.

Robert Sakker, President and CEO of Pulsar said: "By bringing Rivada's innovative satellite internet capabilities to the Pulsar Network, we're empowering businesses, agencies, and organizations with unprecedented connectivity options regardless of their location. This integration represents our commitment to delivering cutting-edge communication solutions that enable our partners to reach previously underserved markets with reliable, high-speed internet service." 

Declan Ganley, CEO of Rivada Space Networks, said: "We are delighted to be partnering with Pulsar to provide a secure backbone to develop communications infrastructure in remote locations. Rivada's Outernet is what data communications has been waiting for – a game-changing constellation which re-defines connectivity in terms of security, latency, capacity, efficiency, and coverage. As a completely new type of LEO constellation, the Outernet can provide any region in the world with a next-generation digital infrastructure for secure, resilient communications and network expansion."

Rivada will be at the International Telecommunications Week (ITW) in Washington DC from 5-7 May 2025. Meet us at stand #419 and come along to the conference session on May 6^th at 12:00- 1:00pm, where Michael Abad-Santos, Deputy Chief Commercial Officer, will explore on the panel: "How Integral are Non-Terrestrial Networks to Pervasive Connectivity".
