The
Joint Interagency Field Exploration field event at the Naval
Postgraduate School in California recently hosted a demonstration of
satellite-powered high-speed wireless 4G/LTE courtesy of Hughes
Network Systems.
Hughes
showed its government and military customers how wireless 4G/LTE
transmissions can enable real-time video on-the-move, push-to-talk
(PTT) communications, and situational awareness through high-speed
satellite connectivity.
JIFX
13-2 investigated new data capabilities that can fulfill the
requirements of combatant commanders and federal agencies. These data
capabilities allow warfighters and emergency responders to complete
their missions. However, they have been hard-pressed to find small,
interoperable devices that can deliver real-time video communications
while on the move.
Government
R&D organizations, academia, and private industries hoped to find
these devices and other crucial technologies at the JIFX event. Such
technologies would boost their military capability, help cut down on
costs, and allow them to team up with partner nations and
organizations.
