From operational requirement to deployable capability.
British-developed technology.
Resilient connectivity.
Rapid capability integration.
UK Connect Defence works with operational users and capability teams to solve real defence requirements. We combine our own technology, proven commercial systems, specialist engineering and managed services to create practical, deployable capability.
Capability built around the requirement
Defence does not always need another piece of technology. It needs the right technology, integrated around the user and the operational outcome. Where the right solution does not exist, we develop it.
Rapid capability integration
From requirements gathering and solution design through integration, trials and deployment.
Deployable connectivity
Managed 4G, 5G, LEO satellite, Wi-Fi and multi-bearer networks for remote, temporary and operational environments.
Sensing and force protection
Connecting unattended sensing, deployable networks and operational systems to move information from detection at the edge to the user.
British-developed products
Owned technology developed through Praxym, the product-development and manufacturing arm of UK Connect Defence.
Rapid Broadband Kit
Broadband where the infrastructure ends.
The Rapid Broadband Kit (RBK) is a British-developed, self-contained connectivity platform designed for environments where conventional infrastructure is unavailable, unreliable or too slow to deploy.
Developed through Praxym, the RBK brings cellular, LEO satellite, local networking and independent power together in a rapidly deployable platform.
Connectivity without the infrastructure
From an individual team or a remote site, to a complete operational location, UK Connect Defence can design, deploy and manage the connectivity required.
We work across:
From requirement to repeatable capability
Discover
Understand the user, environment, constraints and required operational outcome.
Integrate
Select and combine the appropriate products, technologies and specialist engineering.
Prove
Build, evaluate and improve the capability with users.
Scale
Create a repeatable, supportable route to wider deployment.
Proven defence delivery
Operation INTERFLEX
UK Connect supported Operation INTERFLEX with rapidly deployable connectivity across remote training locations, delivering communications capability at pace where existing infrastructure was limited.
Why UK Connect Defence?
Operationally led
We start with the requirement, not the product.
Technology agnostic
We select the right technology for the outcome rather than forcing the requirement into one vendor ecosystem.
We build solutions
Praxym gives us a route from requirement to British-developed product. We build what doesn't yet exist.
Just one partner
Integration, connectivity, engineering, deployment, accountability and support brought together under one team.
Backed by UK Connect
Established engineering, managed services and a UK Network Operations Centre.
Bring us the operational problem
Tell us the outcome you need, the environment in which the capability has to work and what is stopping you achieving it today.
We'll help determine what already exists, what needs to be integrated and – where necessary – what needs to be built.
FAQs
What does UK Connect Defence do?
UK Connect Defence helps defence turn operational requirements into deployable capability through systems integration, British-developed products, connectivity, sensing, trials and managed support.
Is UK Connect Defence just a connectivity provider?
No. Connectivity remains an important part of our heritage, but UK Connect Defence also delivers rapid capability integration, product development, sensing and systems integration.
What is the Rapid Broadband Kit?
RBK is a British-developed deployable connectivity platform bringing multiple connectivity options, local networking and independent power together within one integrated system.
Can you integrate technology we already use?
Yes. We can work with existing customer systems, commercial technologies and specialist partner products where they are right for the operational requirement.
Can UK Connect Defence support trials?
Yes. Demonstrations and controlled trials allow technology to be evaluated against the real requirement before wider deployment decisions are made.
