Securing Battlespace Connections: 5G Resilient Communications

As adversaries become more sophisticated about intercepting and disrupting mission-critical communications, the DOD has continued to advance the resiliency of their communications. 5G opens the doors to powerful network configuration options that increase the number of communication pathways and accelerate the time to access communications.

In the battlespace, every communication is critical. If one base station or pathway is compromised, operators and warfighters rely on instant access to alternative lines of communication to convey critical information. The advent of 5G wireless technology presents a tremendous opportunity for the U.S. Department of Defense to strengthen resilient communications, with numerous network options and redundant communication paths to route messages quickly and covertly.
