Through this partnership, Pulsar will use Rivada’s Outernet to enhance its land mobile and maritime solutions.
Rivada Space Networks has announced a strategic partnership with Pulsar International to deliver advanced secure connectivity solutions for maritime, agri-tech, enterprise and government clients. This collaboration supports Rivada’s Outernet, a next-generation low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network, and brings Rivada’s global business commitments to over $16bn.
Pulsar’s land mobile and maritime solutions will leverage Rivada’s Outernet to provide resiliency for a range of data connectivity solutions and a new level of cybersecurity for customers that require secure infrastructure in places with limited or no connectivity. The Outernet’s fast, seamless and secure connectivity will ramp up network performance and enable true digital transformation and new business opportunities through multi-gigabit bi-directional performance, combined with worldwide reach.
As the first unified global communications network, the Rivada Outernet is transformative. A next-generation low-Earth orbit satellite constellation designed to provide gigabit-speed connectivity to any point on the globe, without needing to touch the public internet or any third-party infrastructure. Combining inter-satellite laser links with advanced onboard processing and unique routing and switching capabilities, this optical mesh network, in which data stays in space from origin to destination, creates an ultra-secure network with pole-to-pole coverage, offering end-to-end latencies much lower than terrestrial fiber over similar long distances.
For Enterprise and Government customers, the key attributes of the Outernet are suitable 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. And with the continued expansion of the data-centre market to be AI-ready, data resiliency and security are paramount for future-ready infrastructure and integrated systems that adhere to the highest standards of safety and privacy.
Commenting on the deal, Robert Sakker, President and CEO of Pulsar, said: 'By bringing Rivada's innovative satellite internet capabilities to the Pulsar Network, we're empowering businesses, agencies, and organisations with unprecedented connectivity options regardless of their location. This integration represents our commitment to delivering cutting-edge communication solutions that enable our partners to reach previously underserved markets with reliable, high-speed internet service.'
Declan Ganley, CEO of Rivada Space Networks, added: “We are delighted to be partnering with Pulsar to provide a secure backbone to develop communications infrastructure in remote locations. Rivada’s Outernet is what data communications has been waiting for – a game-changing constellation which redefines connectivity in terms of security, latency, capacity, efficiency, and coverage. As a completely new type of LEO constellation, the Outernet can provide any region in the world with a next-generation digital infrastructure for secure, resilient communications and network expansion.'
Rivada will be at the International Telecommunications Week (ITW) in Washington DC from 5-7 May 2025.

Palo Alto Networks reports nearly 900% surge in generative AI usage

This report dives into the world of AI adoption to explore its benefits, challenges, and how to balance AI innovation with security to safely transform how businesses operate for years to come. In a new 'State of Generative AI' report, Palo Alto Networks has revealed a dramatic rise in the adoption and use of generative AI (GenAI) technologies across its customer base, signaling a pivotal shift in how businesses are integrating AI into their operations. Based on analysis of tens of thousands of global tenants, the company identified critical trends shaping the current AI landscape—ranging from massive usage growth to escalating security concerns. According to the report, GenAI traffic surged by over 890% throughout 2024. This extraordinary spike reflects the rapid maturation of AI models and their growing value in enterprise automation and productivity. What was once considered an experimental tool is now becoming a fundamental utility across industries. However, this widespread adoption has brought with it significant cybersecurity challenges. The average number of GenAI-related data loss prevention (DLP) incidents more than doubled, increasing by 2.5 times in early 2025. These incidents now account for 14% of all data security breaches. The report warns that careless or unauthorized use of GenAI applications can lead to leaks of intellectual property, regulatory violations, and exposure of sensitive data. The findings also reveal that organisations are using an average of 66 GenAI applications, with around 10% of those categorized as high risk. This proliferation is largely driven by a lack of well-defined AI usage policies, an urgency to adopt AI for competitive advantage, and insufficient security protocols in place—factors that leave companies vulnerable to exploitation. Palo Alto Networks' report emphasizes the need to balance innovation with strong security frameworks as GenAI continues to reshape business operations. The company advocates for a careful approach to integrating GenAI, one that allows businesses to embrace its transformative potential while mitigating associated risks. To ensure accuracy, the research analyzed GenAI traffic logs from 7,051 customers worldwide over the course of 2024. Additionally, anonymized DLP data from January to March 2025 was included. All data was collected and reviewed in compliance with stringent privacy and security standards to maintain customer confidentiality. The report's insights were derived from GenAI usage across Prisma Access and Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) environments, focusing on third-party GenAI apps accessed within these systems. Ultimately, Palo Alto Networks aims to equip businesses with the knowledge to safely navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape and capitalize on its benefits without compromising data security.
