Department of Defense (DoD) 5G Strategy
Abstract
Fifth-generation wireless communications technologies (5G) currently in development promise orders of magnitude improvements in multiple areas, including speed, connectivity, and reduced latency. The deployment of 5G capabilities will also be far more disruptive than those of prior generations, with transformative effects that extend beyond telecommunications. 5G networks will enable vastly more smart devices to connect to the internet, thereby accelerating the digital transformation that is already underway in manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and government. Consumer devices from vehicles to medical implants will become more capable via 5G connections to new edge computing and cloud services, algorithms, and applications. In summary, 5G deployment will enable a new generation of the knowledge economy; increasing productivity, growing new businesses, and spurring innovation.
