Under the National Association of State Chief Information Officers&#8217; 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nascio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/NASCIO_CIOTopTenPriorities.pdf\">top priorities list<\/a>, 5G deployment is included under No. 4, &#8220;Broadband\/Wireless Connectivity.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest challenge for state CIOs to consider around network modernization with technologies like 5G really comes around defining the technology and how it\u2019s going to be used in the public sector, he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an interesting question as to how we define 5G \u2014&nbsp;do you mean 5G mobility? 5G in the sense of a fixed wireless access to connection where you\u2019re replacing WAN? Do you mean 5G in the way of private networking?\u201d Battista says. \u201cOnce you get that definition, then it\u2019s about use cases.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this stage in 5G development, Battista says many public sector agencies are piloting the network\u2019s use in small projects, with a focus on scaling up long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This video is brought to you by Verizon.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Verizon\u2019s Anthony Battista says states need to look at flexibility and agility when considering 5G for network modernization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":49850,"template":"","meta":{"disable_grayscale_images":true,"grayscale_contrast":0,"sponsored_content":false,"display_author_bio":true,"story_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4691,20647],"tags":[83,368,20176,21879,23448],"people":[],"special-report":[],"authors":[12566],"class_list":["post-49849","video","type-video","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-statescoop-tv","category-modernization","tag-modernization","tag-verizon","tag-network-modernization","tag-anthony-battista","tag-nascio-22","author-statescoop-staff"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.5 (Yoast SEO v24.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How 5G fits into state network modernization strategies | StateScoop<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Verizon\u2019s Anthony Battista says states need to look at flexibility and agility when considering 5G for network modernization.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/video\/5g-network-modernization-verizon\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How 5G fits into state network modernization strategies | StateScoop\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Verizon\u2019s Anthony Battista says states need to look at flexibility and agility when considering 5G for network modernization.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/video\/5g-network-modernization-verizon\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"StateScoop\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/StateScoop\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-06-01T06:32:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/anthony-battista-verizon.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@State_Scoop\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/video\/5g-network-modernization-verizon\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/video\/5g-network-modernization-verizon\/\",\"name\":\"How 5G fits into state network modernization strategies | StateScoop\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/video\/5g-network-modernization-verizon\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/video\/5g-network-modernization-verizon\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/anthony-battista-verizon.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-05-24T13:29:06+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-06-01T06:32:52+00:00\",\"description\":\"Verizon\u2019s Anthony Battista says states need to look at flexibility and agility when considering 5G for network modernization.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/video\/5g-network-modernization-verizon\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/video\/5g-network-modernization-verizon\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/video\/5g-network-modernization-verizon\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/anthony-battista-verizon.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/anthony-battista-verizon.jpg\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":1080,\"caption\":\"Verizon's Anthony Battista talks with StateScoop about 5G's role in network modernization and how it will impact state government.
