Global Conflicts and Telcos' Role 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 AI-driven communications networks.
- The 5G defence market is expected to reach $4.2 billion by 2032, according to a 2025 report by SkyQuest.
- This growth is fueled by the demand for networks that can support 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, highlighting the importance of digital connectivity in modern conflicts.
Rising geopolitical tensions are driving investment in this area, with telcos playing a crucial role in supporting military operations.
