United States : GENERAL DYNAMICS C4 systems demos 4G LTE broadband connectivity with US army networks [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) General Dynamics C4 Systems lately displayed how the firm's fourth-generation (4G) long-term evolution (LTE) wireless broadband network could expand the ability of U.S. Army tactical networks like the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T). Soldiers used the secure 4G LTE network to take pictures and collect information using their smartphones, and then transmitting the information back to their leaders who were also tracking the position and location of team members on vehicle-mounted displays. General Dynamics' broadband network also sent and got intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance information from multiple sensors around the display area to network-equipped vehicles, simulated operations, and command centers. "Among other advantages, the General Dynamics' secure wireless broadband network can give soldiers greater access to mission intelligence using their smartphone or tablet computer, which is a significant capability leap for soldiers," said Chris Marzilli, president of General Dynamics C4 Systems. "Our 4G LTE technology is mature and already used successfully in public safety networks in Colorado and New Mexico and will, if needed, provide the vital connectivity among U.S. Army personnel and public safety professionals responding to a disaster or other event where interoperability among organizations is critical." The demonstration took place in August and was synchronized by the U.S. Army's Communications-electronics Center of the Research, Development and Engineering Command (CERDEC) at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey. General Dynamics' secure 4G LTE broadband network includes the eNodeBlue that executes like an LTE base station and the Evolved Packet Core, which forms the network's architecture and network radio nodes that are placed in vehicles, on structures and any location where the network requires to be, delivering secure, high-speed broadband connectivity.
