Faster Long-Range Data Delivery Where Latency and Reliability Matter
Fourth State Communications enables time-critical and mission-critical data delivery across intercontinental distances by engineering the propagation path itself—
without reliance on fiber or satellites.
Faster packet completion through stabilized propagation and improved decode confidence
Deterministic long-range links independent of orbital and terrestrial infrastructure
Physics-driven performance gains, not protocol or compression tricks
Speed Is Defined by When Data Arrives — Not the Symbol Rate
In long-range systems, latency is dominated by uncertainty in the propagation path.
Traditional approaches compensate for that uncertainty using conservative modulation, buffering, and retransmissions—mechanisms that slow delivery even when nominal bandwidth appears sufficient.
Fourth State Communications addresses the problem at the physics level. By stabilizing propagation conditions, we reduce variability, enable higher usable throughput, and deliver complete data payloads faster and more predictably.
Time-Critical Financial Data
Market data and execution signals are only valuable if they arrive in time to act.
Fourth State Communications enables faster completion of time-sensitive data transfers across long distances by reducing latency variance and retransmission overhead.
Defense & National Security
Defense communications face the same physical constraints as financial networks—distance, noise, and variability—under adversarial conditions.
Fourth State Communications provides resilient beyond-line-of-sight connectivity by controlling the propagation environment rather than reacting to its failures.
Emergency Management & Disaster Response
When infrastructure fails, communications must still function.
Our systems enable predictable long-range connectivity for coordination and situational awareness when terrestrial and satellite systems are degraded or unavailable.
Engineering the Propagation Path
At the core of Fourth State is the Enhanced Thermo-Scatter System (ETSS), a software-defined atmospheric communications system that stabilizes the first hop of RF propagation.
By increasing usable signal-to-noise ratio and reducing time-varying distortion, ETSS enables faster end-to-end delivery of data payloads across thousands of kilometers.
Fourth State Communications’ technology has been supported and evaluated through multiple competitive government programs focused on resilient communications, atmospheric modeling, and contested-environment operations.
