Ep. 190 The Future of 5G Technology
Wednesday, 5 March, 2025
Despite the official launch of 5G networks in 2018, their full potential for federal applications has yet to be realized. This week on Feds At the Edge, we explore the value of a mature 5G network and the groundbreaking possibilities of its next evolution. Sal D'Itri, Chairman of National Spectrum Consortium, introduces the concept of a “network in a box,” an on-demand, scalable solution that enables rapid adaptation to changing workloads. Steve Vogelsang, CTO Federal at Nokia Federal Solutions, discusses the need for better device ecosystems, the potential for 5G in emergency services, and the importance of interoperability and resilience in large, geographically dispersed networks. One of the most exciting discussions revolves around Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)—a game-changing application that leverages satellite connectivity to provide emergency communications in remote areas. Andy Greig, President, North America for Druid Software, sheds light on why, despite seven years of development, the device ecosystem still struggles to fully capitalize on 5G’s potential. Finally, our panelists offer insights into the future of 6G, the next step in high-speed, flexible communications. Tune in now on your favorite podcasting platform as we uncover the challenges, innovations, and future possibilities of 5G and beyond! of 5G.
