# LA28 Identifies Los Angeles Security Needs

LA28 security planning points to potential demand for interoperable command-and-control systems, counter-drone capabilities, resilient communications, critical-infrastructure cybersecurity, and large-scale personnel screening. T-Mobile is the Games’ official telecommunications services provider, with services described as including 5G Advanced network solutions at competition and non-competition venues, push-to-talk for more than 15,000 staff, and voice-line access for key personnel. The article directs contractors to a DHS-focused industry discussion at the 2026 Homeland Security Summit on November 10, 2026; it identifies no open RFP, solicitation number, or contract value.

- The T-Mobile services arrangement is the concrete procurement signal; the other security capabilities are planning needs, not announced solicitations.
- Security and technology firms can use the capability areas identified—especially command-and-control interoperability, counter-drone systems, resilient communications, cyber protection, and screening—to assess relevant offerings and potential teaming needs.
- Companies attending the DHS-focused summit discussion can use it to engage on the stated security challenges, while distinguishing market intelligence from a formal procurement opportunity.
