Telespazio Brasil partners with Rivada Space Networks to leverage the 600-satellite Outernet constellation for secure, gateway-free orbital communications across Latin America.
Leonardo owns 67% of Telespazio, whose Brazilian subsidiary is partnering with Rivada's 600-satellite Outernet. The announcement contains no contract value for Telespazio, only an advisory-board role and workshops, so the near-term earnings effect on Leonardo is negligible. Rivada's $20 billion pipeline is its own global total, not an awarded contract.
Thales holds 33% of Telespazio, which is joining Rivada's Customer Advisory Board for the Outernet constellation. This is a partnership without stated value or revenue figures for Telespazio, which generated €850 million in 2025 sales, so no material price impact on Thales is expected.
Telespazio Brasil, a joint venture between Leonardo and Thales, has partnered with Rivada Space Networks to integrate its 600-satellite Outernet constellation into its service offerings. The collaboration focuses on enhancing secure, low-latency communications for government and enterprise clients across Latin America through technical workshops and advisory board participation.
