SINGAPORE, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rivada Space Networks, a global network company launching a unique LEO satellite network to provide secure connectivity for governments and enterprises, has announced a series of new partners in the Asia Pacific region. Rivada has now lined up over $US16 billion of business globally for its unique LEO network.
At AsiaTechX, the company will outline the key attributes of The Outernet, a unique space-based network providing Gigabits of ultra-secure connectivity with lower latencies than fiber, opening-up new opportunities for companies looking for scalable, flexible solutions for their expanding networks.
Rivada's space-based data network is transformative—it will offer access to a secure satellite network with global reach, offering end-to-end latencies similar to or better than terrestrial fiber. The Outernet combines inter-satellite links with advanced onboard data routers creating an optical backbone in space to deliver an ultra-secure and highly reliable global data network for business operations in the telecom, enterprise, maritime, energy and government services markets. And as the first unified global communications network, in which data stays in space from origin to destination, traffic is routed on a physically separated network, providing a layer of defense for any enterprise or government organization that needs to securely share data across Asia and beyond.
Global subsea cables, which carry much of the world's data traffic, are increasingly becoming a focal point of geopolitical tensions, with frequent cable cuts resulting in severe outages. More than ever, the Asia Pacific region needs resilient infrastructure that is fast, secure and reliable. The Outernet is key to enhancing the region's telecommunications infrastructure in terms of data sovereignty and security, supporting AI national digital strategies, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity and expanding international networks.
For Enterprise and Government customers, the key attributes of the Outernet are ideal for a variety of applications, for example, to give banks and global companies secured networks with distributed offices, provide significantly more bandwidth for oil & gas exploration than is available today, enable seamless connectivity for shipping & fleet management, or provide 5G satellite backhaul connectivity network expansion for cellular operators. Connectivity providers in Asia can offer a competitive advantage by expanding these markets, enabling new opportunities through secure, multi-gigabit bi-directional performance, combined with worldwide reach.

Mint Mobile's $30/month Galaxy S25 deal is real, with one important caveat
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Mint Mobile's new deal includes the Samsung Galaxy S25 and two years of unlimited data for just $30 per month. The deal starts at noon PT today and runs until July 31. While it works out to $30 per month, you're required to make the full $720 payment upfront. Starting later today and running until July 31, Mint Mobile is offering what it calls its 'best phone deal ever.' The T-Mobile subsidiary is combining two years of unlimited service with a standard model Samsung Galaxy S25, all for the equivalent of just $30 per month. According to the T-Mobile press release, the deal starts at noon PT today (3 PM ET), so it's not live on the Mint Mobile site at the time of writing. It's certainly getting its share of fanfare, though, with former Mint owner and current spokesperson Ryan Reynolds appearing in the YouTube video below to spotlight the offer. While the deal is legitimate, there are a few key caveats. It's only for new customers, and it requires your commitment to the Mint Mobile Unlimited plan for 24 months. Not only that, but you'll also need to pay the entire two-year outlay upfront. In other words, the $30 per month figure is more of a marketing simplification than a payment plan, and what the deal actually costs you is an immediate payment of $720. Still, that's less than just buying the Galaxy S25 outright, and you're getting 24 months of unlimited data on top. The deal is in honor of a new milestone for Mint. It now offers full RCS messaging support, meaning modern chat features like typing indicators and high-res media work across all phones on the network. Once the offer is available in a few hours, the button below should take you to it. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Is First Trust Cloud Computing ETF (SKYY) a Strong ETF Right Now?
Launched on 05/27/2011, the First Trust Cloud Computing ETF (SKYY) is a smart beta exchange traded fund offering broad exposure to the Technology ETFs category of the market. Market cap weighted indexes were created to reflect the market, or a specific segment of the market, and the ETF industry has traditionally been dominated by products based on this strategy. Market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns, and are a good option for investors who believe in market efficiency. On the other hand, some investors who believe that it is possible to beat the market by superior stock selection opt to invest in another class of funds that track non-cap weighted strategies--popularly known as smart beta. Non-cap weighted indexes try to choose stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance, which is based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a mix of other such characteristics. The smart beta space gives investors many different choices, from equal-weighting, one of the simplest strategies, to more complicated ones like fundamental and volatility/momentum based weighting. However, not all of these methodologies have been able to deliver remarkable returns. The fund is managed by First Trust Advisors, and has been able to amass over $3.45 billion, which makes it one of the largest ETFs in the Technology ETFs. SKYY seeks to match the performance of the ISE Cloud Computing Index before fees and expenses. The ISE Cloud Computing Index is a modified market capitalization weighted index designed to track the performance of companies actively involved in the cloud computing industry. Investors should also pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio. Lower cost products will produce better results than those with a higher cost, assuming all other metrics remain the same. Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.60%, making it on par with most peer products in the space. It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 0%. It is important to delve into an ETF's holdings before investing despite the many upsides to these kinds of funds like diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis. Representing 84.70% of the portfolio, the fund has heaviest allocation to the Information Technology sector; Telecom and Consumer Discretionary round out the top three. Taking into account individual holdings, Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) accounts for about 4.79% of the fund's total assets, followed by Arista Networks, Inc. (ANET) and International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). SKYY's top 10 holdings account for about 39.18% of its total assets under management. So far this year, SKYY has lost about -1.65%, and it's up approximately 30.91% in the last one year (as of 06/05/2025). During this past 52-week period, the fund has traded between $86.45 and $131.18. SKYY has a beta of 1.22 and standard deviation of 30.08% for the trailing three-year period, which makes the fund a medium risk choice in the space. With about 62 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk. First Trust Cloud Computing ETF is an excellent option for investors seeking to outperform the Technology ETFs segment of the market. There are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider as well. Global X Cloud Computing ETF (CLOU) tracks INDXX GLOBAL CLOUD COMPUTING INDEX and the WisdomTree Cloud Computing ETF (WCLD) tracks BVP NASDAQ EMERGING CLOUD INDEX. Global X Cloud Computing ETF has $343.69 million in assets, WisdomTree Cloud Computing ETF has $402.23 million. CLOU has an expense ratio of 0.68% and WCLD charges 0.45%. Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Technology ETFs.
