Ep 94 - Network Slicing Enables Agencies to Create Private, Secure, and Customized Networks

Author: Government Technology Insider January 6, 2024 Duration: 16:31

5G network slicing can allow federal agencies to create private, secure, and customized logical networks. Network slicing can enable agencies to tailor the network to meet mission specific needs, helping to guarantee resource availability, and enable quality of service based on the application and use case.

This can be used when one application sends a private file with the ability for other 5G network slices to deliver additional packets simultaneously. It is the idea that a network can have the attributes needed when required, with the ability to simultaneously change and support slices on the same device and same bandwidth.

These were the key themes of our new Government Technology Insider podcast about how 5G network slicing can enable future mission success for agencies. Host Matt Langan talked with Troy Mitchell, National Security Team Account Manager, Verizon, and Stephen Booher, Principal for 5G Solutions at Booz Allen Hamilton, about the 5G network slicing-enabled future. Both executives also discussed particular use cases for agencies, and how each slice is an isolated end-to-end tailorable network.


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.
