5G Adoption: A Complex Journey, Not Just a Destination

Complications for military use of the electromagnetic spectrum will arise as more countries adopt and implement 5G technology. In this article by Dr. Thomas Withington for Jane’s International Defense Review, TCI’s Kevin Davis and Misho Tkalcevic argue that the diversity of frequency allocations will pose a challenge for military planners worldwide. The key with 5G, according to TCI, is to understand who is doing what, when and how, as well as recognizing the potential for mesh networks and other technologies to be part of the solution.

The Market for More Manpack

Manpack signals intelligence systems are gaining in popularity as capability increases are matched by reductions in size, weight and power. In this article by Tom Withington of Armada International, TCI’s Kevin Davis talks about these trends and their operational implications. He notes that greater connectivity of SIGINT in manpack and other form factors has the potential to enhance its role in the electronic warfare kill chain.
