How 5G and Wi-Fi Converge in Government Ops

Connectivity is an essential component to everything in our daily lives. 5G and Wi-Fi are key enablers for all missions including data access and sharing, data analytics, communication, file transfer, logistics and more. Both 5G and Wi-Fi have separate applications, but both are necessary to ensure seamless operations. ID Technologies and Dell Technologies are tackling this convergence opportunity in the federal government. Jim Rousseau and Chris โCTโ Thomas join us to break down the differences between the two and what agencies need to know to integrate them both in an enterprise.
This episode is sponsored by ID Technologies and Dell Technologies.
