“The powerful combination of Federated Wireless and Carahsoft is accelerating Government’s access to 5G tools and solutions,” said Paul Battaglia, VP of Public Sector at Federated Wireless. “This partnership means the Public Sector can access and leverage 5G solutions faster. Together, we’ll help agencies experience the benefits of private wireless, enabling efficiencies, competitiveness, security, and innovation.”
