Driven by great potential and ambitious goals, 5G and the technology behind it have promised improvement in just about every aspect of future-thinking communications. But as this next-gen technology grows, so do the questions around what lies ahead for its deployment, use, and even practicality. In this session, join Nextgov as they meet with leaders in the field to discuss what’s next.

Dr. Sumit Roy gives viewers a closer look at the OUSD Innovate Beyond 5G Initiative.

5G touches almost every aspect of the way we live our lives. It's not just about faster, bigger, or better, it's about utilizing 5G as an enabler to a series of services that we all will consume in every aspect of our lives. Federal agencies will need to decide on a public or private 5G strategy. The time is NOW to consider the security implications and cyber risk profile that come with 5G. During this presentation we will highlight innovative thoughts which enable you to create a zero-trust environment for the successful deployment and consumption of 5G services.

5G promises a new generation of innovation for state and local governments. But taking innovation from a set of ideas to a tangible result requires partnerships between public and private institutions. In this discussion, Route Fifty explores how such partnerships not only move forward 5G innovation, but also allow cities to become smarter.

To capture the promise of 5G, the U.S. military is seeking new ways to harness commercial innovation—including the Navy’s SoCal Tech Bridge, an effort to create thriving military markets for new technology. Join Defense One as we explore this innovative partnership that includes the country’s first 5G-enabled military base.
