Abstract

As a tactical user of network services, the US Navy is distinguished by its mobility and its use of low-bandwidth wireless links. ATM technology optimizes bandwidth usage and guarantees QoS for high priority applications. However, wireless and low data rate ATM specifications are just beginning to have commercial availability. This paper discusses the status of emerging ATM specifications that will satisfy US Navy tactical communications requirements
