5G technology is about to play a vital role in protecting American homeland and assisting the US Department of Defense

American telco giant AT&T is developing next generation defense systems, powered by 5G technology.

The telco company entered into a collaboration agreement with Northrop Grumman Corporation to research and develop a “digital battle network”

The new technology is set to support the US Department of Defense.

In a statment, AT&T says both companies plan to deliver a cost-effective, scalable, open architecture solution that will “help the DoD connect distributed sensors, shooters and data from all domains, terrains and forces – similar to how smart devices connect and share data in our everyday lives.”

“This digital battle network is expected to bring together the high speeds, low latency and cybersecurity protections of private 5G networks with the flexibility and scalability of AT&T’s commercial 5G capabilities and offer a critical capability to support the DoD’s vision for Joint All Domain Command and Control”

Ben Davies, vice president and general manager, Networked Information Solutions division, Northrop Grumman says that “Our collaboration with AT&T brings together some of the best capabilities in defense and commercial communications to meet the evolving requirements of JADC2,”

The latest developments come as national security threats from countries like China and Russia continue to increase.

As businesses embrace cutting-edge tech, challenges like data sovereignty and AI are taking centre stage.

Over the past six months, the AI industry has seen significant advancements, with competing models such as Meta’s Luma and Google’s Gemini entering the market.

However, these developments come with a reality check. Building large language models (LLMs) requires substantial computing power and time, making immediate returns on investment unlikely.

One promising innovation is agentic AI, a step beyond generative AI, which enables proactive, automated solutions.

For instance, this technology could stabilise IT systems autonomously, diagnosing and resolving issues without human intervention.

Data sovereignty has also emerged as a key focus, with increasing emphasis on keeping data within national borders to comply with local laws. This has driven the adoption of sovereign clouds and private data centres, ensuring secure and localised data processing for AI development.

Deepak Ajmani, Vice President of ANZ & APAC Emerging Markets at Confluent, joins to discuss the evolving business landscape.
