The renaissance of America through technology is a welcome

 The renaissance of America through technology is a welcome sign on many levels. Among these is that the United States is more likely to be successful in its technology competition with China if it has the whole country pulling in the same direction.

Arguably, the most important set of capabilities in the years ahead are rooted in communications technologies. The ability to disseminate and apply these tools depends on the quality and robustness of network infrastructure.

At present, the United States is building out its fifth-generation, or 5G, telecommunications infrastructure. The improvement in speed, latency and reliability in moving from 4G to 5G is so immense it can be difficult to comprehend, and technology companies have only just begun figuring out ways to take advantage of this improvement.

JMA Wireless CEO John Mezzalingua recently laid out the high stakes of winning the 5G race. “5G will become the central nervous system that connects and controls all other infrastructure,” he said. “The free world will depend on it — our homes, schools, jobs, water systems, electrical grids, transportation networks, manufacturing, and military. It’s a strategic asset that America must own.”

Banning Huawei in the U.S. Market was a great first step, but we must continue to invest in domestic options and innovate at home. To support the rebuilding of America’s technology base — including its telecommunications equipment sector — robust public policy must link with talent, infrastructure and, of course, entrepreneurship. America’s national and economic security depend on it.
