D2C pLEO: Reshaping Military SATCOMProvided By: Fuse Integration
Mar 2026Proliferated low Earth orbit (pLEO) is already reshaping military SATCOM - mostly through broadband user terminals that look a lot like the consumer internet, just in a harder place. The next shift is 4G/5G Direct-to-Cell (D2C), where satellites behave like cell towers and standard cellular waveforms reach handhelds and embedded modems without a dish. That matters because modern operations are increasingly mobile and mobility breaks comms first. A D2C layer provides persistent, low-rate connectivity that keeps communications flowing when everything else degrades.
AI At The Edge: Making Mission-Critical Intelligence Practical Provided By: Crystal Group
Feb 2026Artificial intelligence is increasingly being deployed across complex, distributed systems where data must be processed in real time. While centralized cloud infrastructure remains essential, many operational environments require AI-capable compute at the edge to reduce latency and limit dependence on continuous connectivity. Deploying AI outside controlled facilities introduces challenges related to environmental extremes, size, weight, and power constraints, and long-term reliability. Rugged edge computing platforms are designed to address these challenges, enabling c ...

Why File Trust Fails at The Tactical Edge and How Zero Trust Solves ItProvided By: Glasswall
Feb 2026In tactical and forward-deployed environments operating under DDIL (Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent, Limited bandwidth) conditions, files must be handled safely regardless of connectivity status. For security leaders, the challenge is not simply enforcing separation between domains; it's ensuring that every file entering or leaving a system can be trusted, regardless of its source, format, or delivery mechanism.
Fortifying the Tactical EdgeProvided By: Glasswall
