Verizon and the U.S. Marine Corps are working together at Marine
Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar to explore ways the military and
other U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) agencies can use Verizon’s
5G Ultra Wideband to transform operations in areas ranging from
communications to base security. MCAS Miramar is the first U.S.
military base with access to Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband service
and will act as a 5G “living lab,” facilitating collaboration
between the Department of Defense and commercial partners.
“We are excited to explore the art of the possible with 5G Ultra
Wideband’s high bandwidth, fast speeds and low latency,” said Lt.
Col. Brandon Newell, Director of Technology and Partnerships for
the Marine Corps Installation Next program. “This is a critical
step to accelerate the nation’s 5G aspirations. At Miramar, we are
focused on collaboratively exploring 5G-enabled technology in the
areas of energy management, connected vehicles, drones, and base
security.”
Newell, who is also the Director of the NavalX SoCal Tech
Bridge, a research and development arm of the Department of the
Navy, added, “This effort is critical to national security. The
establishment of this 5G living lab expedites the nation’s ability
to leverage 5G for national defense.”
MCAS Miramar is home to 15,000 service members as well as the
3rd Marine Air Wing and the 5th Generation F35-C. With live 5G on
the base, the Marine Corps expects to test how 5G can enable future
smart bases that are better protected, more resilient, and
supported by autonomous transport.
“We’re thrilled to partner with MCAS Miramar to create a 5G test
bed where we can work together to develop new uses cases that
improve cybersecurity, enhance the use of unmanned ground systems
and drone delivery, and more,” said Andrés Irlando, senior vice
president and president, Public Sector and Verizon Connect at
Verizon. “Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network is built to support
transformative experiences and we’re proud it will play a critical
role in evolving national defense technologies.”
