ZHARYQ Kazakhstan, a telecom operator and communications systems integrator, is partnering with Rivada Space Networks to provide a LEO-based connectivity network with the necessary security and performance to drive digital operations. Rivada has now lined up over $ US20 billion in business globally for its LEO network.
ZHARYQ has over 35 years of experience in telecommunications and systems integration, providing professional services to government agencies, businesses, and network operators. With the increasing demand to move large quantities of data securely and quickly around the world, placing existing digital infrastructure under greater pressure than ever, organisations in banking, security, defense and telecommunications are looking for new networking technologies that are secure, fast and reliable.
As a global communications network, Rivada’s Outernet is described as a LEO communications network. A global low-latency point-to-point network of 600 low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, it is a LEO constellation combining inter-satellite laser links with advanced onboard processing and routing to create a space-based optical mesh network in space. This “orbital network,” in which data stays in space from origin to destination, creates a satellite network with pole-to-pole coverage, offering end-to-end latencies reported to be lower than terrestrial fiber over long distances. Routing traffic on a physically separate network in space provides a layer of defense for any organization that needs to share data securely across widely distributed sites.
ZHARYQ will harness Rivada’s Outernet to provide resiliency and long-term satellite connectivity for voice, video and data solutions to land-based, fixed, and maritime verticals, governmental and commercial customers, across the territories of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan. The Outernet’s satellite connectivity will support network operations and enable digital services through multi-gigabit bi-directional performance, combined with worldwide reach.
