As a leader in private 5G solutions, Oceus sponsored the Potomac Officers Club’s 10th Annual Defense R&D Summit on January 31, 2024. Kevin Stiles, Oceus CTO, moderated a panel of DOD leaders, including LTC Tim Lawrence, Lt Col Benjamin Pimentel, Juan Ramirez, and Dr. Martin Weiss, who discussed the future of intelligent network operations.

According to the speakers, the digital revolution has made military operations more reliant on networks than ever before, and the Department of Defense is laser-focused on 5G, Future G and new technologies that can maximize the benefits modern networks have to offer.

According to Dr. Martin Weiss, director for Future G applied research and technical lead for resilient and open commercial solutions within the DOD’s Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, optimality is a primary concern for the department in using networks.

This focus stems from the need to ensure that networks can support forces at the tactical edge, or remote environments with limited connectivity, that have different requirements than other organizations using networks.
