Why You Should Attend this Year’s Summit
With 6G and next generation networks on the horizon, promising even greater network progress, market transformation and improved communications capabilities support the United States’ technological power in an age of global competition. The integration of these technologies will also be critical to ensuring the Warfighter can operate effectively in contested environments, where networks are compromised. DoD’s recent designation of future generation wireless as one of their fourteen critical technology areas underscores the need to act quickly in building the ecosystem necessary to rapidly deliver requirements to the Warfighter.
