Rivada Networks is a leading designer, integrator and operator of public safety communications and information technology networks for homeland security forces and first responders. Recognizing the increased threats from natural and man-made disasters, Rivada Networks is working with governments in the United States and Europe to improve their communications and information technology infrastructure. Rivada Networks’ communications and information technology solutions enable governments and their first responders to rapidly, efficiently and effectively execute homeland security and defense missions. Rivada Networks’ innovative public safety communications solutions offer a reliable, fully interoperable and cost-effective alternative to building expensive dedicated infrastructure to address the limitations of existing public safety networks through the use of cellular networks and commercial off-the-shelf technology.

Rivada Networks works with public safety and defense agencies to address deficiencies in their public safety communication networks. These deficiencies include the inability of government agencies, military forces and first responders to exchange information across functional, service and geographic boundaries due to noninteroperability; and an inability to utilize new technologies such as still image capture, video, position location and IP push-to-talk due to outdated networks and equipment.

Interoperability for public safety communications can be achieved using commercial wireless services in combination with a variety of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) equipment. This can enable collaboration and information sharing and can also provide advanced capabilities to all users with enhanced reliability and multiple layers of redundancy, all at a cost effective price.

Providing public safety and defense agencies with a broadband interoperable network allows them to avail of advanced capabilities and applications over a variety of user devices.

Rivada Networks is led by a world class management team, and provides communications solutions to a diverse range of federal, state, and local agencies. Selected clients include USNORTHCOM, the National Guard Bureau, DHS, FEMA, multiple states, and various state and local agencies.
