At the end of October, the "Digital Backbone Experiment" organized by NATO took place at Ādaži and elsewhere in Latvia, during which the main focus was on the use of fifth-generation mobile telecommunications and low-orbit satellites to support the compatibility of technologies of all types in the military tasks of the armed forces on land, sea, air and cyberspace.
