National Connectivity Challenges
Are there Practical, Economically Viable Solutions?
• Reach Back to HQ from Diverse Field Locations Difficult • Built-out 2-way Radio Infrastructure Sparse in Operating Areas • No Dedicated Infrastructure Across the Nation • No Interoperable Architecture to Coordinate Interagency
Emergency Support Activities • No Interface to Utilize Radio Assets with Available Backhaul • Process Management for Field Forces Unavailable • Widely Dispersed Assets Don’t Match Fixed Infrastructure
