1. 5G and the Government of the Future
At this year’s CES, one of the big themes is 5G. Our CEO, Hans Vestberg, spoke about it on Tuesday during his keynote address.
Today we’ll talk about 5G and the government of the future.
What will Fifth Generation wireless communications mean for consumer electronics and the whole tech sector? What will it mean for our economy and our world? And what will it mean for government.
For starters, 5G isn’t a technology of the future. It’s a technology of the present.
Solutions are already in development and consumers in four markets are able to take advantage of 5G technology. We are leading the charge to developing life-changing applications using 5G to positively impact not only government, but also education, healthcare, gaming, manufacturing and more.

Evolution of technology 5G Ultra Wideband: The future has begun. Commercial 5G: Home broadband internet in 4 cities 5G Labs How emerging 5G solutions will impact government

3. Evolution of technology
Analog voice
Text messaging
Digital voice for capacity 
Security
Data & applications
High speed data for phones and other mobile devices
Internet of Things (CAT M)
Expanding capabilities
Ultra-low latency
Ultra-reliable transmission
Massive Internet of Things scale
Security by design
High bandwidth (spectrum width of hundreds of MHz)
Let’s start with a little background on the evolution of technology.
The first generation of cellular networks, back in the Seventies and Eighties, was all about analog voice.
The second generation emerged in the Nineties, and that was digital voice, along with data networks that could carry public Internet traffic. But if you think back, it was very slow.
Next we move into the 21st century, where 3G gave us mobile access to the Internet and video calls.
Then with 4G, and especially 4GLTE, you get the capabilities we’ve all grown familiar with, enabled by substantially greater network speeds. 4G generally transmits between 100 megabits per second and a full gigabit.
Now we come to 5G – and throughput of up to ten gigabits per second. But there’s even more to it than that. With 5G, you will also have ten times more battery life, and 1,000 times larger data volumes than anything that has come before.

4. 5G Ultra Wideband: The future has begun.
Delivering extreme mobile broadband for transformational experiences
Providing super-low latency for critical machine communication
Realizing massive communication for millions of people and billions of everything

The future has begun. 5G will change the way we live, work and play.
Extreme mobile broadband for transformational experiences.
Super-low latency for critical machine communication – with a throughput of up to 10 gigabits per second. Imagine near simultaneous transmission of high definition data for our first responders. It can be life-saving.
Massive communication for millions of people and billions of everything
To make 5G happen, you need three things:
millimeter wave spectrum,
end-to-end deep fiber resources, and
the ability to deploy large numbers of small cells.
Verizon is the only company to bring all three assets together to deliver the full potential of 5G.
To be clear, this is a one-in-a lifetime opportunity to redefine how people think about and use technology. So the industry must be clear on what is “5G”, and what it isn’t. 5G is not taking a 4G network and calling it 5G. We believe that 5G requires new device hardware connecting to the network using new radio technology to deliver new capabilities. And that is what we will deliver.

5. Our commercial 5G service provides home broadband internet in 4 cities.
We have launched our 5G residential broadband service in 4 markets - Sacramento, Los Angeles, Houston and Indianapolis.
Why is this important for our Government customers?
This not only demonstrates Verizon’s progress in delivering the promise of 5G, it also has some concrete implications for enterprise and government.
Customers can test applications not previously thought to work on a wireless network or use the network as an incubator for new applications. For those customers not in coverage, we can bring them into one of our labs, which I’ll discuss shortly.

6. Our 5G Labs are where collaboration and innovation happen
Our 5G Labs are where collaboration and innovation happen and solutions begin.
New York, NY | Waltham, MA | Palo Alto, CA |
Washington, DC | Los Angeles, CA
Explore the boundaries of 5G technology
Co-create new use applications and hardware
Work and test with technology partners and startups
Engage with the community through programming designed to encourage local innovators to rethink what’s possible in a 5G world
Focus on public safety solutions at 5G First Responder Lab
5G Labs are where 5G technology will turn into real solutions.
5G Labs will:
Explore the boundaries of 5G technology
Co-create new use applications and hardware
Engage with the community through programming designed to encourage local innovators to rethink what’s possible in a 5G world.
There are 5 labs that each focus on different areas. For example, the 5G lab in Waltham, MA focuses on robotics, health-care and real-time enterprise services. The one in DC focuses on public safety, first responders, cybersecurity, and hospitality tech.
The DC lab also houses the 5G First Responder Lab, a first-of-its-kind innovation incubator that will give startups and other innovators access to 5G technology to develop, test and refine 5G solutions for public safety.
((BACKGROUND ON EACH LAB – not necessarily to discuss during speech))
New York City lab will focus on media and finance tech
Waltham, MA, lab will focus on robotics, healthcare, and real-time enterprise services
Palo Alto lab will look at emerging technologies, education, and big data
Washington DC lab will work on public safety, first responders, cybersecurity, and hospitality tech
Los Angeles lab will work across augmented reality (AR) and holograms

7. Critical machine learning

Critical machine learning
What are some emerging solutions that will impact government?
Critical machine learning - 5G will impact robotics, manufacturing and other machine based applications. Systems will have the ability to communicate seamlessly and when they do, systems can detect quality issues and prevent defects before products reach market, making it safer and more efficient.
Virtual and augmented reality:
VR/AR can be used to simulate training opportunities that will better prepare workers through realistic scenarios.
Intelligent video and Smart communities:
For those of us who live in communities with traffic, pollution, and public-safety problems, our Smart Communities program has already improved the lives of citizens from coast to coast.
Just look at what we’re already doing in the important IOT-related field of telematics – the transmission of information to remote objects such as vehicles and fleets.
This technology will have an enormous impact on the way people relate to transportation – and on the way transportation relates to the world.

8. There are 8 currencies of 5G. And for full 5G you need all eight.
Speed
Throughput
Mobility
Connected Devices
Service Deployment
Energy Efficiency
Latency
Reliability
These are the objectives that 5G will achieve.
Please reiterate that these performance metrics are based on 3GPP industry specifications and represent the potential of the technology.
In short, 5G is transformative. For technology. For industry. And for government.
Looking forward to partnering with you in the future.
