By 2030, telecom towers will be more than passive masts — they’ll be intelligent bastions of national security. Discover how AI, SDRs, and 6G sensing will transform tower networks into the backbone of future defence and resilience strategies.

Before towers can host military sensors, boards must address governance. Who owns the threat data, who carries liability, and how will neutrality be preserved? This blog outlines the key questions TowerCo boards must answer before going dual-use.

TowerCos have a chance to become national security partners — and get paid for it. Explore how Defence-as-a-Service (DaaS) could create predictable, government-backed revenues by using towers as spectrum monitors, drone detectors, and resilience hubs.

Software-defined radios and edge AI can turn telecom towers from passive assets into active digital sentries. Learn how SDRs can scan for rogue signals, detect jamming in real time, and help networks stay online during hybrid warfare events.

Telecom towers are the most widespread infrastructure in any nation — and they could become its first line of defence. Discover how turning 18,000 cell sites into a distributed “digital wall” could protect against jamming, cyber-attacks, and drone incursions.

In recent years, the Middle East has become a notable player in the tech investment scene, with a keen interest in dual-purpose technologies. These innovations, which serve both civilian and military applications, have caught the eye of sovereign wealth funds and family offices across the Gulf region

Introduction: From Utility to Critical Asset For years, data centres were discussed in terms of real estate, energy efficiency, or cloud competition. That framing is now obsolete. In Q4 2025, governments are treating data centres as strategic infrastructure , akin to oil fields or power grids. 1. OpenAI’s Provocative Comparison OpenAI’s recent warning—that data centres must be guarded like oil rigs —has been echoed by policymakers. Why? Compute is the fuel for AI arms races.

Semiconductors are the new oil—the critical asset where supply chain weakness translates into national vulnerability.

The tariff war is not only reshaping trade - it’s redefining where digital transformation capital is deployed.

Europe’s connectivity hinges on a dense mesh of short Baltic/North Sea cables and a handful of deep-water trunks. Coordinated, deniable cuts at 3–6 points would spike latency into Frankfurt/London, push Nordic traffic onto narrower southern routes, and brown-out offshore and island backhaul. Layer concurrent GNSS jamming and satcom ground-segment attacks, and you have a classic hybrid play. This briefing translates that risk into clear operator actions you can take now.

From surveillance to secure communications, space is now a battlefield without borders. Telecom operators increasingly find themselves supplying critical infrastructure for military missions—often without knowing it. This blog explores the defence implications of commercial space, and the strategic risks and opportunities for boards and governments.

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) power aviation, shipping, telecoms, and finance. But jamming, spoofing, and geopolitical conflict expose dangerous vulnerabilities. This blog explores how the US, Europe, and the Middle East are rethinking resilience through terrestrial backups like eLORAN and advanced timing systems.

In today's digital age, open telecom networks like Open RAN and 5G are revolutionising the telecommunications industry, offering...

Now, European governments are recognising a sobering truth: GNSS denial is not just a wartime contingency—it’s a peacetime probability. Jamming and spoofing by Russia, primarily from Kaliningrad, Crimea, and Belarus, are now routine across civil airspace and digital infrastructure zones.

“Disabling your infrastructure without firing a shot—that’s the essence of the new battlefield,”— NATO Electronic Warfare Centre (2025)

As GNSS jamming escalates across Northern Europe, countries like Finland, Estonia, Sweden, and Lithuania are investing in resilience. This in-depth blog examines how the Baltic and Nordic region is responding to the threat, from military fallback tactics to emerging terrestrial alternatives.
