Kongsberg develops innovative WiFi solution for Norwegian future soldier requirement
Article Abstract:
Kongsberg Defence Communications has developed an innovative solution both for the low-level communications requirements for the Norwegian future soldier project (NORMANS) and the movement of high levels of data using Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technology, also known as WiFi or Wireless Fidelity. Initial Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) trials indicated a potential for military use of the WLAN technology as it could provide a point-to-multipoint networking solution for many applications if the range could be increased from 300m and the susceptibility to attenuation decreased.
