Fulfills two-year Mobile Networking R&D project with the NASA Glenn Research Center
November 8, 2002
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Cisco Systems, Inc., today announced that it has successfully developed and deployed a mobile networking solution for use by military and government agencies as a result of a two-year Mobile Networking research and development project with the NASA Glenn Research Center. Engineers from Cisco Systems, NASA Glenn Research Center, Western DataCom and SRC (Scientific Research Corporation) have adapted the new Cisco 3251 Mobile Access Router, incorporating mobile networking features in the Cisco IOS® software over 802.11(b) and satellite communications, through an encrypted environment designed for optimized security. The new solution offers defense organizations the ability to communicate through an encrypted, mobile network, designed to allow seamless and continuous IP connectivity over multiple wireless data links, such as 802.11, cellular and satellite, transparently to the user applications. This groundbreaking solution was demonstrated yesterday aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Neah Bay, District 9 fleet, on the Great Lakes. The crew of the Neah Bay was able to switch from LAN/WAN to a satellite connection 15 miles off the coast of Cleveland, maintaining Internet communication without having to reconfigure the router.
Jim Massa, vice president of Cisco Systems Global Defense and Space Group, hailed the demonstration as a major advancement in mobile communications technology. "The Neah Bay solution illustrates the next generation of technology advances available to today's defense communities. Cisco is dedicated to working with systems integrators and defense end-customers to develop powerful, customized solutions, designed to fit the needs of an increasingly network-centric world."
