A new pocket-sized Starlink alternative promises secure military communications — safe from interference by billionaire CEOs.

The system, named the RU1, was unveiled today by Swedish startup TERASi. It's billed as the world's smallest and lightest mm-Wave radio, a form of communications that offers blazing-fast speeds and huge bandwidth.

James Campion, the CEO and co-founder of TERASi, describes the portable device as "the GoPro of backhaul radios."

"RU1 can be deployed in minutes to keep units connected in fast-changing environments," Campion told TNW. The devices, he continued, can be installed on tripods or drones. Multiple RU1s can then link into a resilient mesh, providing bandwidth for mission-critical applications such as live drone video, autonomous fleet control, and sensor data fusion.
