Hybrid Wireless Networks for Improved Air Base Flight Line Maintenance and Operations - Dual-Purpose Technologies for immediate needs

USAF does not have the flight line and operational wireless communications infrastructure required for effective future maintenance operations, which is already impacting existing day to day operations at some facilities. Huckworthy will evaluate proven mesh radio technologies to establish suitability to the task of providing connectivity via Wi-Fi, RJ45 ethernet (and 4G/5G cellular in the future) to maintenance crews and operations personnel on the flight lines of the future - both inside and outside of the static airframe. Huckworthy's evaluation will include ability to deliver sufficient data to operators, mobility and reliability, readiness of operations and IA qualifications, ability to interoperate, security and simplicity.
