In this episode of the Government Technology Insider podcast, host Matt Langan sat down with Chris Russell, Distinguished Architect at Verizon, and Narendra Tilwani, Sales Development and Customer Solutions at Nokia Federal Solutions, to discuss how private 5G is changing military communications. While debunking common misconceptions about its adoptions, their conversation also highlighted the real-world impact of this developing technology, from replacing aging infrastructure to supporting mission-critical applications like smart warehousing, simulation training, and edge intelligence. As Tilwani pointed out: “one misconception we’ve seen is that deploying 5G is expensive and only meant for large organizations…That’s not true anymore.”
