This Veterans Day, we at Ericsson Federal paused to honor and express our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who have served our country. Their unwavering commitment and sacrifice have safeguarded the freedoms that define our nation. As we reflected on their invaluable contributions, we also explored the future of national security through the lens of technological advancement.
To mark the occasion, Ericsson hosted a special fireside chat where innovation met resilience. The discussion brought together a distinguished panel of leaders to share their insights on how advanced technologies like 5G are rapidly shaping America’s security landscape.
Our audience heard from:
- The Honorable Vice Admiral Mike McConnell, USN (Ret.), Chairman of the Board for Ericsson Federal Technologies Group
- Yossi Cohen, Head of Ericsson Americas
- Christopher Ling, CEO of Ericsson Federal Technologies Group
The Strategic Imperative of 5G
The conversation centered on how 5G technology, which serves as the backbone of modern communications, is fundamentally redefining strategic advantage in the defense and government sectors.
The leaders discussed 5G’s capability to empower real-time, high-speed intelligence sharing and enable mission-critical defense operations. This technological foundation is not merely an upgrade; it is a strategic imperative essential for protecting our digital sovereignty and ensuring our national security apparatus remains agile and effective in a complex global environment.
We are proud to stand with our veterans and committed to developing the innovations—from the cutting edge of 5G to other secure network solutions—that uphold the courage and sacrifice of those who serve.
Let us continue to salute our veterans, honor their legacy, and inspire the innovation that keeps our nation secure.
