The collaboration leverages Rivada’s Outernet—a planned constellation of 600 low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites—to provide secure, point-to-point data transmission. By utilizing inter-satellite laser links, the system creates a private network in space where data avoids terrestrial routing, a feature designed to meet the growing demand for data sovereignty in banking, defense, and telecommunications.
