The usefulness of next-generation communications and edge computing lies in how it processes data near the source – the edge of a network – providing faster response times, reduced bandwidth, lower bandwidth use for real-time applications like IoT devices, and immediate analysis and action critical for time-sensitive tasks.

These benefits have real-world implications, helping everyone from first responders and law enforcement to workers deployed to remote locations, to troops at the front line. Ukraine’s pioneering use of advanced drones may be state of the art for secure mobility and tactical operations, demonstrating the value of real-time information and decision-making.

Using 5G technology and advanced AI features provides lower latency, higher speeds, and predictive analytics for quantifiable improvements in performance, whether in peacetime or military conflicts.
