5G and Cloud Can Work Together to Improve Government Operations, Experts Say
Nextgov
Cisco defines 5G as "the next level of connectivity" that will enable "connected experiences from the cloud to clients." 5G technology will allow for faster data sharing across a variety of locations, as well as efficient storage and processing of data. The security component is also important, particularly for commercial-off-the-shelf and open architecture, as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warned about for a decentralized and disaggregated approach. Data sovereignty would also be impacted in such an environment. The "smart" approach for the State Department would be to focus on a defense-in-depth model. This means making sure that data is properly encrypted and routed in a secure manner. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.

Amazon starts selling private 5G, plants flag on pricing
Light Reading
Amazon announced its private wireless 5G service late last year. The service uses 3.5GHz CBRS spectrum, which is unlicensed and free to use. Customers must purchase radios from Amazon, which cost $7,200 each for a 60-day commitment. Data costs are incurred in some situations, depending on the usage scenario. For example, in the university scenario, AWS said each tablet could send and receive 4 MB of Internet traffic every 5 minutes for 10 hours a day, resulting in a data transfer cost of $248.40 per month. Other scenarios may not have data fees associated with them. Overall, the total cost for 60 days of use would be $14,400.52. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.

5g’s promised land finally arrives: 5g standalone networks can transform enterprise connectivity
Deloitte
According to Deloitte's technology, media, and telecom predictions for 2023, standalone 5G technology is expected to make significant strides in the next few years. Standalone 5G refers to a network that is built and operated solely on 5G technology, as opposed to relying on previous generation technology for support. This allows for greater flexibility and capabilities in terms of network deployment and services offered. Deloitte predicts that standalone 5G will begin to see widespread adoption in the next three years, with more than 50% of 5G connections expected to be on standalone networks by 2023. This shift will have significant implications for industries ranging from telecom to healthcare to transportation, as standalone 5G enables the development of new and improved services and applications. Overall, Deloitte's predictions highlight the continued importance and potential of 5G technology in shaping the future of communication and connectivity.
