Tommy Witto, President of Nokia Mobile Networks, and Mike Loomis, Head of Nokia Federal Solutions, discussed with General Lavigne a number of key topics related to the implementation of 5G technology in military use. These included the integration of augmented reality and cyber security.

Nokia representatives highlighted the benefits of 5G in improving soldiers' awareness and increasing the speed and reliability of communication on the battlefield. However, along with new opportunities come new challenges, such as increased vulnerability to cyber attacks.

Nokia, already known for its leadership in the development and deployment of 5G technologies, is actively working with NATO to bring these innovations to life. By visiting the U.S. Navy's 5G lab, the company had a unique opportunity to learn about the latest developments and testing of this technology for military applications.
