Rivada Space Networks is developing a 600-satellite LEO constellation with laser inter-satellite links, aimed at sovereign, encrypted connectivity for government and defense customers.
ACTIVERivada Space Networks is developing a 600-satellite LEO constellation with laser inter-satellite links to create a secure, low-latency mesh network in space. The system is designed to provide sovereign, end-to-end encrypted connectivity for government, defense, and enterprise customers without data touching third-party ground infrastructure.
Rivada Space Networks is building what it calls an OuterNET - a fully meshed optical network in space that routes data between satellites before delivering it to dedicated ground stations. This architecture enables data sovereignty, as traffic can be routed entirely in orbit without transiting foreign ground segments.
