The next generation of wireless networks, 5G, is being rolled out around the world, including in communities across the United States. As demonstrated by the fierce competition from Huawei—the Chinese telecom equipment giant leading China’s 5G effort and a pernicious security threat—American preeminence in this vital technology is not guaranteed. Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Arthur Herman for a discussion with former National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien on how the U.S. can maintain its economic and technological edge in the new age of 5G.
