Rivada Space Networks Collaborates with Wiseband for Network Expansion in the Middle East

Rivada Space Networks, a global network company launching a constellation of 600 low-earth-orbit satellites (LEO) to enable secure, global connectivity for governments and enterprises, is partnering with Wiseband, an Emirati satellite services company, to bring secure connectivity solutions to the Middle East region.

Based in UAE and operating across the Middle East and Africa, Wiseband provides customized private satellite networking solutions that are designed to meet high-performance and stringent security requirements. The company currently has connectivity projects in UAE, KSA, Kuwait, and Egypt.

Rivada's global low-latency point-to-point orbital network, the OuterNET, is a unique next-generation constellation combining inter-satellite laser links with advanced onboard processing to provide unique routing and switching capabilities and create an 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 lower than terrestrial fiber over similar long distances. 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.

For Enterprise and Government communications, Rivada's OuterNET will provide an easy-to-deploy network with higher bandwidth and improved security for resilient and more reliable communications services.

Rivada Space Networks is showcasing the OuterNET at the Middle East Space Conference, in Oman from 8th-10th January. Rivada's CEO Declan Ganley will participate in the panel exploring how new satellite  networks can play an essential role in bringing connectivity to the Middle East and the prospects for satellite communications services in the region, including:

  • How the potential of LEO can be unlocked for data networks and services and the opportunities for new business models and end-user services
  • An ultra-secure network is the ambition for global enterprise and government communications and the dynamic powers of laser communications are key
  • Partnering with LEO enables Middle Eastern satellite and telecom operators in search of growth to complement and expand services that cannot be supported by GEO alone

Ahmed Hassan, CEO of Wiseband, said: "Wiseband is looking to tap into Rivada Space Networks' highly secure point-to-point secure communications network to provide advanced and customizable secure solutions to our existing enterprise customers and to develop the emerging markets in the Middle East. The OuterNET is a fully interconnected orbital network which effectively serves as a private network in space, capable of routing traffic at gigabit speeds from one satellite to another with no need for a gateway on Earth. We see this as the key infrastructure for the development of the enterprise and government sectors in the Middle East and beyond."

Declan Ganley, CEO of Rivada Space Networks, said: "We are delighted to be partnering with Wiseband based on their long history and expertise in serving the telecoms sector in the Middle East region. Rivada'sOuterNET is what data communications has been waiting for – a game-changing constellation that redefines connectivity in terms of security, latency, capacity, efficiency, and coverage.  As a completely new type of LEO constellation, the OuterNET can provide the Middle East region with a next-generation infrastructure for secure, resilient communications and network expansion."
