Real-Time Tactical Data Link for Forward Deployed Military Unit

How our blended network technology supported encrypted ISR data sharing across tactical teams, command HQ, and coalition forces in the field.

Analysing data

Client Overview

A NATO-aligned rapid reaction unit required reliable, low-latency data transfer between forward teams, drones, and command elements during a joint training exercise simulating urban and rural engagement scenarios. Communications needed to be secure, mobile, and interoperable across coalition assets.

The Challenge

  • No fixed infrastructure and minimal cellular coverage

  • Need to transmit encrypted UAV ISR footage to command in real time

  • Required coordination across vehicles, drones, and HQ simultaneously

  •  High RF congestion and attempted jamming simulations

  • Multiple encryption zones and coalition access requirements

The Solution

  • Portable Dejero GateWay units deployed in field vehicles

  • Smart Blending Technology™ bonded 3x LTE modems with Starlink

  • Real-time ISR streaming from UAV through tactical video encoder

  • Encrypted VPN tunnels to HQ and coalition data gateway

  • Multi-agency coordination via shared tactical cloud interface

The Outcome

  • Maintained real-time ISR feed from UAVs to HQ with <1.8s latency

  • Seamless failover to satellite during LTE dropouts

  • Joint ops coordination between three forces using shared live feeds

  • Data link operated continuously for 48+ hours across movement

  • Demonstrated interoperability with NATO and MoD systems

Why It Matters for Tactical Teams?

This mission showed that tactical data links don’t require legacy hardware or fixed SATCOM. With hybrid bonding and encryption-first design, forward units maintained high-speed ISR delivery in real time — supporting faster decision-making, battlefield awareness, and secure coordination.
