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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
