Ep 93 - Driving Connection in the Era of Remote Work

Author: Government Technology Insider January 5, 2024 Duration: 8:43

Increasing the connectivity federal agencies have at satellite and remote offices has been a priority for many years. However, the last three years have really accentuated the importance of driving a connection between work spaces. One solution that's gaining traction is Fixed Wireless Access (FWA).

Federal agencies, including the FBI, have already set their eyes on FWA and the capabilities it will support. With funds from the Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) program, the FBI allocated more than $400 million to improve network availability through the use of 4G LTE and 5G FWA. As other agencies discover the benefits of FWA, they are following suit.

These were the key themes of the recent Government Technology Insider “Driving Connection in the Era of Remote Work: Fixed Wireless Access Enables Agencies to Link Satellite and Remote Offices” podcast, where Rose Mata, Associate Director, Federal Mobility Solutions at Verizon; and Dave Butta, Managing Partner, Federal Government Sales at Verizon, discuss the benefits of FWA for linking satellite and remote offices.


Ever wonder what really happens when a new software platform gets rolled out across a state agency, or how a city decides which cloud provider to trust with its data? The Government Technology Insider Podcast pulls back the curtain on those exact processes. This isn't about theoretical futures; it's a grounded look at the actual work of modernizing public sector systems. Each conversation goes straight to the source, featuring the people who are navigating procurement, implementing security protocols, and managing the day-to-day realities of tech adoption within government frameworks. You'll hear firsthand accounts about the strategic choices that succeed, the unexpected hurdles that arise, and the practical solutions that make a difference. The discussions are candid and detailed, focusing less on hype and more on the tangible lessons learned from recent projects and initiatives. For anyone curious about the real intersection of civic duty and digital innovation, this podcast provides an essential, on-the-ground perspective. Tune in for a clear-eyed view of how technology is being woven into the fabric of government missions, one challenge and one victory at a time.
