Global Conflicts and the Role of Telcos in Defence
As battlefields become increasingly digital, telcos and commercial satellite players are entering the defence arena. Militaries and governments are rethinking the role of connectivity in conflict, driven by the need for faster, more secure, and advanced communications networks.
A report by SkyQuest forecasts that the 5G defence market will reach $4.2 billion by 2032, driven by demand for AI-driven communications networks supporting unmanned systems, real-time intelligence, and joint operations.
“Today, conflicts are not defined solely by traditional firepower but by the ability to integrate drones, distributed assets, and network-centric operations across land, sea, air, space, and cyber domains,”
said Aarthi Kannadoss, associate at Frost & Sullivan. Rising geopolitical tensions are fuelling investment in this area.
