Recent cyber incidents targeting critical infrastructure have exposed gaps few expected to see so clearly. Your organisation’s cyber-physical systems face risks that go beyond traditional IT threats, with potential to disrupt essential services and national security. As telecoms and infrastructure advisors, Bridge Connect examines why understanding these vulnerabilities is crucial for boards now, where oversight and strategic action can prevent costly consequences. The Nature

National defence faces a critical crossroads: relying heavily on global technology can expose vulnerabilities, while pursuing full strategic autonomy risks isolation and inefficiency. You need to understand how to balance these competing pressures in defence ecosystems shaped by shifting geopolitics and rapid tech evolution. As telecoms and infrastructure advisors, Bridge Connect examines the strategic choices that shape your ability to protect national interests without surr

Traditional perimeter defences no longer hold firm against today’s cyber threats targeting defence cloud systems. Your organisation’s sensitive data faces relentless pressure from increasingly sophisticated attacks that bypass once-reliable safeguards. As telecoms and infrastructure advisors, Bridge Connect examines how Zero Trust Architecture and sovereign cloud initiatives are reshaping defence security strategies worldwide. This analysis highlights why adopting these appro

Centralised data lakes have long promised streamlined compliance and agility, yet they often fall short under growing regulatory pressure and complex operational demands. Many organisations find themselves wrestling with bottlenecks and rigid controls that slow decision-making and risk management. As telecoms and infrastructure advisors, Bridge Connect examines how federated data governance offers a fresh approach, distributing control to meet compliance while preserving the

Quantum computers will break today’s encryption. Boards that wait to act will pay twice — in breach costs and in panic migration spending.

The hype around VR and the metaverse masked a deeper revolution: spatial computing. Boards must now prepare for its integration into digital twins, industrial design, and enterprise collaboration — reshaping how organisations work.

Quantum computing could render today’s digital security obsolete. Boards and executives must act now to prepare networks with quantum-safe encryption, ensuring resilience before the threat becomes unmanageable.

Terrestrial timing is the new critical infrastructure frontier. Bridge Connect shows how zero-trust and cyber-resilience can secure the systems replacing GNSS dependence.

AI is giving Gulf nations eyes on invisible GNSS interference. Bridge Connect shows how data fusion and machine learning can predict outages before they happen.

Quantum computing is about to shatter classical encryption. Bridge Connect shows boards how to secure telecom networks with PQC and QKD — and why 2025 is the moment to act.

GNSS dependence is a single-point failure for the Gulf. Bridge Connect’s roadmap shows how terrestrial timing and eLORAN can build national and regional resilience within three years.

NSS interference isn’t just a navigation problem; it’s a timing problem that can quietly destabilise ports, aviation, telecoms and the grid. Bridge Connect explains how and what to do next.

Rather than a “winner takes all” fight between LEO and GEO, the future of resilient connectivity will look like a sky stack — HAPS for rapid deployment, VLEO for latency-sensitive services, MEO for trunking, and GEO for broadcast. This blog lays out the comparative metrics and the boardroom decisions you should be making now.

In September 2025, SpaceX sought FCC approval for 15,000 VLEO satellites, leveraging its recently acquired EchoStar MSS/AWS-4 & H-block spectrum. This blog traces the deal details, the regulatory filing and timelines, and what MNOs must consider on roaming, device band support, and spectrum sharing.

Using the Friis/FSPL framework, we compare GEO, LEO and VLEO to show why very-low altitudes unlock satellite-to-phone and efficient backhaul. We walk through dB-level examples, highlight real-world losses, and map the board-level trade-offs in power, antennas and spectrum.

VLEO satellites sit closer to users than classic LEO, delivering better link budgets and lower latency — perfect for direct-to-device and resilient backhaul. But atmospheric drag, atomic oxygen, and duty-cycle propulsion make VLEO a different business. This brief explains the tech, risks, economics, and the 2025 regulatory context.

Quantum satellites will decide who controls tomorrow’s secure communications. Boards need to factor space sovereignty into risk planning.

Introduction: The Invisible Threat We Can’t Afford to Ignore In the early hours of a routine day in 2024, aircraft over the Baltic Sea...

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.
