Resilient edge communications for defense and field operations — satellite and mesh connectivity that works when infrastructure doesn't.

Command, control, and communications in contested or degraded environments is the binding constraint on military effectiveness beyond the forward operating base. When cellular and radio infrastructure is unavailable or compromised, field teams lose situational awareness, coordination, and the ability to direct unmanned systems. Somewear builds the hardware layer — from thumb-sized satellite hotspots to multi-network radios for autonomous platforms — that keeps teams connected and in command when infrastructure fails.

The proliferation of autonomous systems and unmanned platforms in defense operations has created urgent demand for resilient beyond-line-of-sight command and control. Component miniaturization and the Iridium NEXT constellation have made satellite-capable hardware small and affordable enough to deploy at the individual operator level — not just at the platform level.
