5G, or the fifth-generation of mobile networks, took both public and private sectors by storm when it was deployed globally in 2019. With higher bandwidth, lower latency and faster connection speeds, 5G quickly became the foundation for innovation in areas like Internet of Things, military communications systems and many other network advancements.

Now, high-speed wireless networks are evolving at a rapid pace — the federal government and its industry partners are now looking toward the future as the next generation of communications, or NextG, emerges and transforms the market.

The Potomac Officers Club’s 2022 5G Forum brings together prominent government officials, 5G experts and industry leaders to discuss the challenges, opportunities and priorities surrounding 5G, as well as what’s next for the network as new technologies, developments and capabilities arise.
