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.
