Definition

Wireless and broadband connectivity solutions and infrastructure

Technologies

Private 5G networks provide dedicated wireless coverage for industrial and campus environments. LEO satellite constellations deliver broadband from low Earth orbit. LPWAN (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT) provides low-power, long-range IoT connectivity. Mesh networking extends coverage through device-to-device relay. Software-defined networking enables dynamic network configuration.

Applications

Private 5G networks connect factory robots and sensors reliably. Satellite broadband provides internet to remote communities, maritime vessels, and aircraft. LPWAN connects agricultural sensors across thousands of acres. Fixed wireless access delivers broadband to rural areas without fiber.

Market and funding

Connectivity technology enables network infrastructure across wireless, satellite, and fixed-line systems. With 6 funders. The sector serves growing demand for ubiquitous, reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity driven by IoT, remote work, and AI workload distribution.
