Douglas C. Smith, President and CEO, Ericsson Federal Inc. recently shared his thoughts on the military’s increasing need for broadband communication solutions on and off the battlefield.

As conflicts and emergencies continue to emerge around the globe and here at home, Ericsson Federal Inc. is staying on the forefront of cutting edge communication technology. However, as Mr. Smith points out, there is a major discrepancy between the luxuries used in private industry and what is being deployed on the battlefield. Congress has been slow to act, and our service men and women are paying the price.
