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.

Sea Limited Stock Popped 20% After Earnings. Is It Too Late to Buy?
Key Points Sea Limited has gone from a money-losing company to a highly profitable business in just a couple of years. Its recent earnings show continued progress, and patient investors have been handsomely rewarded. With the stock at a multiyear high, Sea Limited could still be an attractive investment. 10 stocks we like better than Sea Limited › It wasn't too long ago that Southeast Asia-based Sea Limited (NYSE: SE) was essentially left for dead by investors. For example, at the end of 2022, overall revenue growth was just 7%, and the business had burned through billions of dollars in cash in the prior 12-month period. Although the company's e-commerce business was doing quite well, the long-established digital entertainment business was hemorrhaging active users and saw bookings plunge by 18%. For the full year of 2022, the company posted a net loss of $1.7 billion. However, the company did a phenomenal job of turning things around. In 2024, all three business segments grew, and overall revenue increased by 28%. Sea posted a $448 million profit for the full year, and the business was firing on all cylinders. Investors were handsomely rewarded, and the stock gained 162% last year. Sea just reported its second-quarter earnings, and the results sent Sea spiking even higher. With shares already up another 65% in 2025, is it too late to add shares of this excellent business to your portfolio? Sea's second quarter was a strong one Sea's Q2 results were much better than expected, and a quick rundown of the key numbers shows just how well this business is doing. First, all three main business segments did well: The Shopee e-commerce business produced 34% year-over-year revenue growth. The Monee financial service business saw loan principal balances rise by 94% compared with a year ago. Not only that, but the non-performing loan ratio of just 1% is remarkably low and has improved in recent quarters. The Garena digital entertainment (gaming) platform grew bookings by 23% year over year, and management is guiding for 30% full-year growth in bookings. Overall, Sea's revenue increased by 38% compared with last year's Q2. Not only did all three businesses grow, but profitability is leaps and bounds ahead of where it was a year ago. Gross profit increased by 50% year over year, and net income surged from $79.9 million a year ago to $414.2 million. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) grew by 85%, including rapid growth from all three segments, and Sea now has $10.6 billion in cash on its balance sheet. Is Sea's stock too expensive? To be sure, Sea Limited is not a cheap stock. At the current share price, it trades for about 45 times forward earnings expectations. However, with revenue growth of nearly 40% and rapidly expanding margins, there's a solid case to be made that the valuation is completely justified. On the e-commerce side, as the dominant platform in Southeast Asia, Shopee has a ton of potential to deepen relationships with customers (think about how your relationship with Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has evolved over the past 15 years). Plus, the Monee fintech platform is expanding into several different verticals, such as buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) lending, and its ecosystem could be in the very early stages of growth. Sea is a far more efficient company than it was a few years ago and has done a great job of growing at a rapid pace without burning through capital. If the company can continue to keep its momentum going, there could still be plenty of upside potential in the years to come. Should you buy stock in Sea Limited right now?

Grab Partners With WeRide To Rollout Robotaxis Across Southeast Asia
Ride-hailing and delivery giant Grab Holdings is teaming up with WeRide to accelerate the deployment and commercialization of autonomous vehicles across Southeast Asia. Under the deal, Singapore-based Grab said it will make a strategic investment to support WeRide's commercial autonomous vehicle fleet in Southeast Asia and push AI-driven mobility. The transaction is set to be completed in the first half of 2026, it added, without disclosing financial details. 'We want everyone in Southeast Asia to have access to reliable transportation whenever they need it,' Grab Group CEO and co-founder Anthony Tan said in a joint statement on Friday. 'However, manpower constraints remain a challenge. We believe autonomous vehicles can complement our driver network and be deployed in cities with significant driver shortages.' The expanded partnership follows a preliminary agreement signed by both Nasdaq-listed companies in March this year to explore the technical feasibility and commercial viability of autonomous vehicles in Southeast Asia. Grab's investment will accelerate the deployment and commercialization of WeRide's level 4 autonomous vehicles (which are designed to operate in specific geographies and weather conditions without human intervention) in Southeast Asia, Guangzhou, China-based WeRide said in the statement. 'WeRide's vision for Southeast Asia is to deploy thousands of Robotaxis across the region,' Tony Han, founder and CEO of WeRide, said. 'Grab, our newest partner and investor, is a household name in Southeast Asia with unmatched regional expertise and scale in ride-hailing and digital services.' WeRide has permits to operate autonomous vehicles across China, France, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and the U.S. It posted a net loss of 406.4 million yuan ($57 million) in the second quarter, slightly narrower than a year ago, as revenue jumped 61% to 127.2 million yuan. Grab swung to a $35-million net profit in the second quarter, compared with a $53 million net loss a year ago as sales climbed 23% to $819 million on the back of sustained demand for ride-hailing and delivery services in Southeast Asia. It added about two million monthly active users during the quarter, bringing its total to 46 million.
