I think it is just a presentation from the Western DataCom folks to try and cell a product they have developed.
The only part that worries me, is that they seem to have identified a need for the military to be able to use existing data transfer servers like cell
towers and wifi systems to send encrypted military data. That seems to mean that they are experimenting with a product that will in essence "hack"
those systems and use them. I'm pretty sure the FCC already requires all transmitters must "accept" interference from certain sources, so they
probably have authority to use all existing transmitters.
It also worries me that the military thinks there is a need for a mobile communication network to be able to be deployed quickly in a developed area
that would have these existing infrastructures. Are they worried about urban warfare in a Western country? Are they worried about an invasion? Are
they worried about a Domestic battle?
All in all, I thought the presentation was a little cheap and childlike. Surely that is not the final product they are presenting to these military
groups?
