Why is 5G important to the government?

5G can support a zero-trust security model , which is critical given the enormous number of connected devices. A zero-trust architecture that leverages 5G can prevent lateral data movement within the network by identifying, monitoring, and authenticating all devices, enabling high levels of security.

How will 5G be implemented?

5G will use ‘massive’ MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) antennas that have very large numbers of antenna elements or connections to send and receive more data simultaneously . The benefit to users is that more people can simultaneously connect to the network and maintain high throughput.

Does 5G require line of sight?

Though the high frequencies of 5G require a direct line-of-sight , “fixed wireless” will allow for cellular coverage within buildings and homes, without the use of cables or lines. Fixed wireless antennas are placed on top of homes and buildings to communicate with nearby small cells or macrocell towers.
