Key facts
- The solution provides ruggedized, modular, transportable infrastructure combined with global Multi‑LEO, 5G/LTE and HTS connectivity for remote field conditions.
- Orbius’s Private Network Interconnect (PNI) routes traffic over private Layer 2 paths that terminate at regional data centers instead of the public internet.
- Halldor Sigurdsson, Chief Executive Officer of Orbius, said, "By pairing our StarEDGE Multi-LEO platform with Armada's solutions, remote is no longer a limitation.".
Orbius Communications unveiled on October 13, 2026, an integrated edge‑cloud solution that links its StarEDGE Multi-LEO platform with Armada’s modular data‑center infrastructure, announcing the launch from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Enterprise and government operators can use the solution to run artificial intelligence and edge‑computing workloads in real time across remote terrestrial and maritime sites. The transport layer relies on Multi‑LEO (multi‑low‑Earth‑orbit), 5G/LTE and high‑throughput satellite (HTS) links built for high‑availability field operations. Customers can install Armada’s modular edge enclosures in weeks, avoiding the multi‑year build times of conventional facilities.
Orbius’s Private Network Interconnect (PNI) routes traffic over private Layer 2 (data link layer) paths that end at regional data centers instead of the public internet. Running AI inference and data processing on local hardware nodes cuts the latency caused by sending large volumes of sensor telemetry to central cloud servers. Orbius’s StarEDGE connectivity portfolio grows through this rollout, which builds on the earlier StarEdge Horizon satellite service on AWS Marketplace that provided private Layer 2 cloud interconnects via low Earth orbit networks.
AI‑ready workloads can be launched in weeks instead of the years needed for traditional data centers, enabling immediate value. The solution provides ruggedized, modular, transportable infrastructure combined with global Multi‑LEO, 5G/LTE and HTS connectivity for remote field conditions. Data and decision‑making stay on‑site or inside national borders, satisfying compliance and control rules for regulated industries.
Enterprises may begin at a single site and grow to a worldwide fleet without needing to redesign connectivity or compute. Orbius delivers a single relationship spanning network and compute via standardized integrations, secure APIs, proactive NOC monitoring and contractual SLAs, removing integration risk and vendor coordination complexities.
Dan Wright, co‑founder and CEO of Armada, said the partnership lets Armada overcome the long‑standing split between satellite and compute providers, giving customers a single point of contact from signal to decision.
The partnership meets rising demand for distributed processing, as analysts expect worldwide edge‑computing spending to top $317 billion by 2031. Edge computing ranks among the fastest‑growing enterprise sectors, with worldwide spending forecast to almost triple by 2031, exceeding USD 317 billion in early studies. The solution is also available to customers in maritime, energy, government, telecommunications and enterprise markets, backed by Orbius offices in the United States, Iceland, Brazil, Ireland, France, Spain, Norway and the UAE, among others.
The integrated platform is available immediately for deployment in maritime shipping, offshore energy, defense, telecommunications, and extractive industries, supported by Orbius operations across North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Orbius had earlier launched the StarEdge Horizon satellite service on AWS Marketplace to provide private Layer 2 cloud interconnects over low Earth orbit networks.
