CENTUM has integrated 5G Standalone (SA) support into its airborne cellular systems to maintain compatibility with the global transition toward modern network architectures.
The emergency, security, and defence sectors increasingly rely on cellular capabilities as a complementary tool for detection, location, and communications during operations. These capabilities support missions including Search and Rescue (SAR), Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), and tactical communications missions. As cellular networks transition toward 5G SA architectures, ensuring alignment with evolving standards is important for sustained operational capability.
This development follows a roadmap-driven strategy focused on reliability and long-term operational continuity. Current commercial off-the-shelf systems, as well as selected legacy hardware, will progressively incorporate 5G SA capability. All new systems produced by the company will include native support for the standard.
Designed for versatile deployment, the airborne systems are engineered for integration across helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, and unmanned platforms. CENTUM works alongside Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and integrators to support linefit approaches. The product lineup, which includes Lifeseeker, easyCATCHER, and Cellair, emphasizes optimized size, weight, and power (SWaP) to enable flexible deployment across urban, rural, maritime, and remote operational environments.
