Communications
Communications (CM07)
Communications connects people, machines, and data networks worldwide, ensuring high-speed, reliable information exchange. From satellite constellations and 5G land networks to encrypted protocols and maritime mesh systems, this sector underpins commerce, governance, and security. Commercial entities rely on broadband, cloud computing, and real-time data streams to manage operations and enhance services, while defense forces require resilient, secure links for intelligence, command, and strategic coordination. As digital ecosystems expand, robust communications technology remains fundamental to societal progress and operational effectiveness.
Network Collaborations (NC17)
Network Collaborations (NC17) unify disparate data streams and workflows, enabling shared dashboards, live alerts, and resource coordination. By melding advanced collaboration tools and real-time integration, commercial teams eliminate silos and accelerate decision-making, while defense forces synchronize multi-agency or allied operations for cohesive mission success.
Information & Analytics
Encrypted Protocols (EN27)
Encrypted Protocols (EN27) center on safeguarding data across networks and storage using robust cryptographic methods. By adopting zero-trust gateways, advanced key management, and adaptive encryption, commercial entities protect intellectual property and comply with regulations, while defense organizations secure mission-critical systems under severe threat conditions.
Data & Analytics
Satellite Communication (ST37)
Satellite Communication (ST37) leverages orbital constellations and advanced link protocols to deliver global data coverage, high-speed downlinks, and resilient uplinks. By dynamically allocating spectrum and employing secure mesh architectures, commercial providers serve broadband and imaging markets, while defense missions maintain dependable, encrypted comms for multi-theater coordination.
Space
Aerial Data Links (LD47)
Aerial Data Links (LD47) connect aircraft (manned or unmanned) to ground stations and each other, supporting rapid telemetry, high-speed file transfers, and secure comms. By employing relay nodes, mesh systems, and edge storage, commercial aviation benefits from real-time situational awareness, while defense forces maintain robust, adaptable links under contested or wide-ranging flight conditions.
Air
Ground Communications Networks (GC57)
Ground Communications Networks (GC57) deliver robust, wide-area coverage and instant connectivity on land—whether in urban, rural, or remote terrains. By leveraging portable link kits, adaptive mesh nodes, and private 5G enclaves, commercial operators expand coverage for logistics or emergency services, while defense units maintain command continuity under severe or unpredictable conditions.
Land
Marine Communication Networks (MN67)
Marine Communication Networks (MN67) provide secure, resilient data links among ships, coastal stations, and undersea cables. By deploying mesh buoys, specialized marine broadband, and tamper-detection systems, commercial shipping and offshore industries maintain reliable connectivity, while defense navies coordinate fleets, secure port operations, and safeguard undersea infrastructure.
