John Zangardi, chief information officer at the Department of Homeland Security, said he considers turning DHS’ new headquarters in southeast Washington, D.C., into a 5G facility, FCW reported Tuesday.
“I’ve talked to industry about this, and one of my goals is to take our campus at St. Elizabeth’s and turn it into a 5G campus. That would reduce the number of devices” employees need, Zangardi said Tuesday during a panel discussion at a Northern Virginia Technology Council event.
He said he believes 5G is one of the “coolest†emerging technology platforms that could offer potential benefits to border security, airport and law enforcement missions.
