Navy prepares wireless LAN for testing at sea
Source: GCN
The Navy this month will begin the final tests of a wireless shipboard network that service brass expect will lead to the use of such LANs across the fleet.
The service outfitted a new destroyer, the USS Howard, with a wireless LAN for this last evaluation leg of its SmartShip program. Forty wireless gateways from 3e Technologies International Inc. of Rockville, Md., extend Ethernet connectivity from the Howard’s asynchronous transfer mode backbone.
