US company Lockheed Martin has developed an LTE-over-Satellite system which takes advantage of the proliferation of 4G devices, bringing mobile phone connectivity to disaster areas or remote regions, whether on land or water. The system, called “Project Skyhook,” is a combination of two technologies – LTE and satellite radio technology. Lockheed said the hotspots can be mounted to vehicles or vessels, bringing mobile connectivity without the need for a separate device.

The LTE-over-Satellite system links to a pop-up cellular network of hotspots that have a direct satellite connection. Lockheed said the hotspots can be mounted to vehicles or vessels, bringing mobile connectivity without the need for a separate device.
