How 5G is Enabling the Next Revolution in Tactical Edge Communications

The winner in the future tactical battlespace will be those who can first collect and process information that drives rapid, accurate and actionable decision-making. Battlespace intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and Internet of Things (IoT) technology exploding presents both an opportunity to quickly deliver battlespace clarity while challenging the capabilities of existing edge wireless systems and networks. Success requires a solution that can bridge disparate systems and seamlessly move data between the cloud, forward operations, edge platforms, multi-domain sensors and dismounted operators.

The application of 5G technology at the edge enables this critical transition. 5G network technologies, including virtualization and network slicing, empower the ability to rapidly scale and bridge together legacy and modern systems of systems. In addition, 5G wireless brings increased spectrum diversity, advanced beam steering, increased bandwidth, higher density of users and lower latencies to connect together a complex network of systems and sensors.

During this webinar, Viasat will explore how 5G technology drives the next revolution in tactical edge communications.
