This initial military hub deployment is a testament to the excellent performance of the networks Advantech Wireless has provided in this region and with other military satellite network operators. Based on the cost performance tradeoff, Advantech Wireless continues to provide an industry-leading solution for both commercial and military organizations worldwide.
