EP 108 — Clear-Com's Jonathan Sorensen On Building Comms That Run On 5G Infrastructure The DoD Is Already Deploying

Jonathan Sorensen went from working live events at Red Rocks and broadcast engineering for the Colorado Avalanche to solving military communication challenges at Clear-Com. As a Solutions Engineer for Military, Aerospace and Government, he brings a signal flow mindset to full duplex, real time comms built for high-stakes operations.

Clear-Com's commercial business drives product development that feeds directly into defense. Their newest FreeSpeak Cell beltpack runs on 5G LTE and private CBRS infrastructure the DoD is already deploying, letting operators connect without standing up a dedicated comm system. Jonathan explains why security across dispersed locations is the next major challenge in military comms.

Topics discussed:

• Full duplex, non-blocking comms versus traditional radio limitations
• Letting commercial product innovation drive military capability
• Designing the FreeSpeak Cell beltpack for 5G LTE and private CBRS
• Progressing from test and evaluation into full military adoption
• Solving corner cases in hazardous operations communication design
• Expanding wireless coverage across flight lines and dispersed locations
• Keeping military product life cycles viable through commercial demand
• Security as the next frontier for geographically dispersed comms
