U.S. Army CERDEC employed a 4G cellular network at its field lab environment to address integration challenges with current network designs.
CERDEC was enabled a mounted/hand-held computing environment
CERDEC was enabled a mounted/hand-held computing environment that allowed for the dissemination of mission command data, imagery, streaming video and voice between dismounted soldiers and fixed command posts.
The 4G activities also supported the soldier domain
The 4G activities also supported the soldier domain initiatives of RDECOM’s Natick Soldier RD&E center, which is developing a user interface to portray information “in the most optimal way for the dismounted soldier.”
Network configuration and performance will determine
Network configuration and performance will determine not only what can be pushed to the soldier, but how the information can be portrayed.
