Satellite broadband is no longer science fiction — it’s a commercial reality reshaping the telecoms industry. With Starlink, OneWeb, and other LEO players racing for global coverage, the stakes for connectivity, sovereignty, and business models are higher than ever. This blog explores the competitive landscape and what it means for telecom operators, governments, and investors.

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.

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.

Telecom networks underpin everything from 5G access to national timing—but many remain vulnerable to quantum-enabled attacks. This article outlines where the risks lie, what regulators are doing, and how telecom operators can lead the shift to quantum-secure infrastructure.
