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.

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.

The FCC’s August 2025 submarine cable reforms fast-track trusted projects, bar high-risk foreign entities, and align with parallel EU and ITU initiatives. Together, these moves mark a decisive shift toward treating undersea fibre as a strategic, defended asset in global tech competition.
