Over the last several years, the discussion around 5G
moved from hope and planning to pilots and test beds.
Now agencies and industry are on the cusp of a 5G
reality.
Agencies already are spending billions of dollars on
these 5G tests and now the Federal Communications
Commission and others are providing more money to further roll out 5G
infrastructure.
Taken altogether, 5G is close to that tipping point where a technology
become ubiquitous.
FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenwarcel said the mid-band spectrum is likely
the best method for deploying widespread 5G coverage.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 the sweet spot,鈥 Rosenwarcel said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 how we鈥檙e going to deploy
5G across the country because it has a mix of capacity and propagations.
That is really ideal for this technology.鈥
The FCC has allocated $9 billion to roll out 5G infrastructure across rural
America.
Meanwhile, the Defense Department and the Coast Guard already are seeing
the benefits of 5G to servicemembers.
Lt. Kenneth Miltenberger, branch chief of the Coast Guard鈥檚 cyber blue team,
said implementing 5G would mean faster connectivity for the Coast Guard鈥檚
fleet of cutters, ships and aircraft.
In fact, the Coast Guard submitted this 5G-cutter use case concept to the
Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), and Miltenberger said the Navy
is also working on a similar line of effort.
