Rivada Space Networks is a space technology company building a low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation called the "Outernet". This constellation of 600 satellites aims to provide a secure, low-latency, point-to-point data network for enterprise and government clients, utilizing inter-satellite laser links and advanced onboard processing. Rivada's "Outernet" offers services to telecom, enterprise, maritime, energy, and government sectors, with key partners including Vodafone Cook Islands, Colt Technology Services, KT SAT, and Amentum. The company plans to begin deployment in 2025, offering global coverage by 2026.

Under the ITU constellation milestone rules, Rivada must deploy 50% of the satellites in its two filings by mid-2026 and the remainder by mid-2028 to retain the spectrum rights.
Rivada is eligible for a waiver from the ITU’s initial 10% milestone partly because its spectrum filings were processed before the ITU rules took effect in 2019.
