Technology development has always been important to military mission readiness, whether it’s complex weapons systems or telehealth services. Much of it is dependent on the same seemingly similar technologies important to our individual lives: Wi-Fi and 5G.

In this episode, ADC’s Randy Ford talks with Rebecca Gray, Senior Vice President (Military) at Boingo Wireless. Boingo has published a new e-book called “The Critical Role of 5G and Wi-Fi on U.S. Military Bases.”

It’s available for download at boingo.com/military5G.
