Designing Yemen’s Future Connectivity Architecture: Fibre, Mobile, Satellite and Subsea
Yemen cannot simply rebuild the telecommunications network it had before the conflict. It needs a layered architecture combining resilient submarine connectivity, shared national fibre, reliable 4G, microwave, fixed wireless and satellite—designed around affordability, geographic diversity and the ability to withstand disruption.

Rebuilding Connectivity After Conflict: The Strategic Role of NTN and the Unique Advantage of IMT-Compliant HAPS
Post-conflict telecom reconstruction is no longer limited to rebuilding towers and fibre. This analysis explores how Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)—and specifically IMT-compliant HAPS—can deliver rapid, resilient, and operator-integrated connectivity in fragile states such as Yemen, Syria, and Iran.

How High-Altitude Platforms (HAPS) Can Accelerate Post-Conflict Telecommunications Recovery: The Case of Yemen
In post-conflict environments, rebuilding telecommunications infrastructure is both urgent and complex. Yemen provides a compelling case study of how High-Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) can bypass damaged terrestrial networks, rapidly restore connectivity, and create a scalable pathway toward long-term digital resilience. This article explores the strategic, technical, and investment implications of HAPS deployment in fragile states.

Yemen Telecom Operators: A History and Current Landscape Briefing for Executive Leaders
Yemen’s telecom market cannot be understood by mobile brands alone. This executive briefing explains how Yemen’s operator landscape formed—from TeleYemen’s international gateway role and YemenNet’s ISP dominance to the rise of Sabafon, Yemen Mobile, YOU (formerly MTN Yemen), and Y‑Telecom—then maps today’s fragmented, resilience-constrained environment and what it implies for post‑peace telecom recovery.
