Resilience and reliability are so important for these PACE services and show how #RivadaSpaceNetworks and our #OuterNET comes into it's own.

PACE planning is vital across all verticals. Rivada Space Networks OuterNET gives the user the ability for adaptable planning and data sovereignty, which is a huge benefit as you can control exactly what happens to your data.

PACE (Primary, Alternative, Contingency, Emergency) methodology is needed to deliver effective communications during defense operations but it is also vital for governments for border security, search and rescue and emergency services. In the event of a failure of a Primary communications system, it is critical to have reliable and resilient back ups to ensure seamless communication for critical systems. It is therefore vital to create diverse communication links to account for unpredictable variables and have reliability within any contingency planning. If one level fails, then another must be in place to bring resiliency. The OuterNET™ brings a capability to PACE unlike any other COMSATCOM system. By using its unique gateway-less architecture it will allow users to operate adaptable virtual private networks in space without ever touching any third party networks. By using advanced routers the OuterNET™ also enables faster than broadband speeds, in excess of 100mbp. This means that SatCom via the OuterNET™ is not just a resilience back up option, but will now be a critical part of any communication planning. #OuterNET #PACE #resilience

Stop by this week and see how we can support your advanced data management and edge compute requirements!

The World Radio Conference 2023 (WRC-23) concluded with a significant victory for the United States, ensuring the protection of the Defense Department’s radar spectrum from potential interference. This strategic move not only safeguards our national security but also paves the way for advancements in 5G and the future 6G mobile communications networks. At the summit in Dubai, the US delegation, led by Steve Lang from the State Department, successfully opposed proposals that could have compromised the radar systems used by the Navy’s Aegis Combat System. The US also managed to harmonize spectrum for 5G across the Americas, freeing up an impressive 500 megahertz of spectrum for wireless use while protecting incumbent systems. This outcome is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the US officials, DoD representatives, and industry experts who participated in the conference. It’s a clear success story of promoting connectivity, innovation, and national security. The US’s stance also reflects a strong commitment to maintaining a balance between technological growth and defense readiness. As we celebrate this achievement, let’s look forward to a future where technology and security go hand in hand. #WRC23 #Telecommunications #NationalSecurity #5G #Innovation #Pentagon

United States Special Operations Command’s (USSOCOM, SOF AT&L Acquisition Executive) Directorate of Science and Technology (S&T) Futures and UK Strategic Command (UKStratCom) seek to develop concepts under the theme, Smart Cities: Future Challenges for Special Operations Forces (SOF). The event seeks to explore the challenges of physical and remote SOF operations in a range of future complex smart cities scenarios. In support of those efforts, a Rapid Capability Assessment (RCA) will be conducted on the 16th – 20th of September 2024 in the UK and will require full-time participation (~0830-1700 UTC each day) from successful applicants. RCA15 aims to support and inform the next step in the USSOCOM S&T Futures and UKStratCom process. During this event, selected concepts from early stages, will be developed further into concept capabilities. A group of experts from industry, academia, and defense will develop potential capability solutions that include market research of possible technology partners, a subsystem-level architectural breakdown, and a technology development roadmap. The teams will also generate initial Work Breakdown Structures and potential contract language to support follow-on capability definition. https://lnkd.in/eagyrZTP

🌐 Terrestrial mmWave mesh networks are proving to be a key element in providing resilient networking at the tactical edge. Mesh networks are made up of multiple points called ‘nodes’. These nodes are wireless radio devices that communicate with one another, creating an overlapping mesh that does not rely on a central hub. This allows for quick and efficient data routing. Nodes are self-sufficient and self-managed, finding the fastest and most reliable paths. Mesh networks are built to connect multiple systems, working in tandem with existing technologies, to create a holistic system that delivers reliable transmission of massive amounts of data.

Velmenni, a trailblazer in light #communication technology, has recently received a significant grant from the #MinistryofDefence (MoD) under the iDEX initiative. This funding aims to bolster secure #wireless communication for the Indian #Defencesector, particularly focusing on the Navy and the unique communication challenges it faces in modern warfare. #electronicsnews #technologynews

The United States Department of Defense and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) are collaborating with iDirect Government to prototype a #5G co-channel interference mitigation capability, enhancing #SATCOM reliability and efficiency. Success could revolutionize RF interference management, improving communication for both civilian and defense systems in increasingly congested RF environments. #telecommunication #satellitecommunication #defense
