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.

Infrastructure is no longer a cost centre — it is the backbone of sovereignty, resilience, and future competitiveness.

The “last miles” are expensive: scattered populations, hard access, fragile backhaul, and slow permitting. A stratospheric cell site changes the math—one platform can blanket thousands of square kilometres, stand up service fast, and stay online when floods or fires knock out ground sites. Here’s a board-level playbook to expand rural LTE/5G without runaway capex.

NTN is no longer an add-on. To get real value from a stratospheric platform, operators must treat HAPS as a native access layer in the mobile core—steered by policy, secured by design, and orchestrated alongside terrestrial cells and satellites. This post shows how to align HAPS with 5G/6G roadmaps—so coverage, capacity, and continuity are policy decisions, not geography.

When fibre is cut, towers are flooded, or power grids fail, HAPS can still fly. Backed by Saudi investment, Sceye’s stratospheric platforms act as steerable, wide-area cell sites that restore first-responder communications within hours, bridge the “golden 72 hours” of disaster response, and harden national infrastructure. Here’s where HAPS fits—and why it belongs in your resilience plan for KSA.

The Moon is no longer a scientific outpost—it’s becoming a commercial frontier. Lunar mining, habitats, and data relays require telecoms and infrastructure far beyond today’s capabilities. This blog explores the unfolding lunar economy, the enabling technologies, and the strategic role of telecom operators and investors.

Satellites carry military signals, civilian broadband, banking transactions, and weather intelligence. As geopolitical tensions rise, these orbital assets are increasingly under threat. This blog examines how the US, Europe, and the Middle East are working to secure satellite communications as critical infrastructure in an era of digital conflict.

ETSI’s evolving standards are transforming telecom supply chains into secure, future-ready ecosystems. From rigorous conformity assessments to post-quantum cryptography compliance, these benchmarks will determine how vendors like Huawei, Ericsson, and Nokia integrate into trusted networks. This article explores the strategic impact of ETSI on procurement, supplier selection, and vendor collaboration—providing telecom leaders with a blueprint for building resilient, standards-

As quantum threats loom, ETSI’s standards are becoming central to banking security—protecting encrypted transactions, SWIFT traffic, and future CBDCs while ensuring Open Banking compliance under PSD2 and PSD3. This article compares ETSI and NIST frameworks, examines the implications for European banks, and outlines strategies for bridging regulatory frameworks across borders, keeping financial institutions secure and compliant in a post-quantum world.

From energy grids to air traffic control, ETSI standards are becoming a cornerstone of national infrastructure security. This article examines how ETSI addresses vulnerabilities in legacy protocols like GSM-R and SCADA, improves interoperability, and coordinates cross-sector policy. It also highlights how Bridge Connect translates ETSI policy into practical action, ensuring resilient, secure, and future-ready critical systems.

Quantum computing could break today’s mobile network encryption within a decade—leaving critical communications exposed. This article examines the risks, the tight PQC adoption timeline, and the steps operators must take now: assessing vulnerabilities, updating infrastructure, engaging regulators, and investing in R&D. With coordinated action, the industry can secure mobile communications for the quantum era.

Quantum computing could undermine the encryption that keeps wireless communications safe—from base stations to smartphones. This article examines the vulnerabilities in radio access networks, the risks to base stations, and the strategies needed to achieve quantum resilience, including quantum key distribution, post-quantum cryptography, and hybrid approaches that combine classical and quantum security.

Quantum computing could render current SIM card encryption obsolete. This article examines how ETSI, GSMA, and 3GPP are developing post-quantum cryptographic standards to safeguard mobile networks, enhance SIM security, and prepare the telecom industry for a quantum-ready future.
