Cape CEO John Doyle explains how Cape secures cellular service as Navy CTO Justin Fanelli speeds pilots from 18 months to 3 months.
Navy CTO Justin Fanelli and Cape CEO John Doyle discuss how the Navy is changing technology acquisition and why secure communications matter. Cape runs a commercial cellular network in 190 countries, rotating phone identifiers and linking multiple carriers so users can fail over during outages. Fanelli says Navy boot camps are teaching program managers and contracting officers to adopt commercial software in 3 months instead of 18; the Navy also aims to expand from 2 pilots to 25. On Guam, Cape tested its network over infrastructure considered compromised, using agreed success metrics to complete a pilot ahead of schedule and under budget. The conversation details Salt Typhoon, a Chinese hacking group’s infiltration of major telecom carriers and access to lawful-intercept systems. Doyle also describes finding a vendor installer with plaintext credentials for all its clients. They discuss scaling validated pilots, replacing outdated software and manufacturing bottlenecks, and urge founders to learn directly from service members’ problems and deliver measurable results.
