Ep 55 - 5G Use Cases for the DoD – Part 4: AR/VR

Author: Government Technology Insider November 28, 2023 Duration: 19:21

The Department of Defense (DoD) must maintain a high level of training and readiness both in garrison and in the field. One way to help maintain such readiness is by leveraging augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) training technologies.

With the help of 5G, AR and VR technologies could enable wide-ranging use cases that provide a higher level of flexibility and allow the DoD workforce to be better connected for training, maintenance, better retention and more.

These were the key themes in this fourth installment of the 5G Use Cases for the DoD podcast series on Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality Training, where Jad Muntasser, 5G Product Manager for Public Sector with Verizon, and Kelly Malone, Chief Customer Officer with Taqtile, discuss this topic further.
