RIPRNet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RIPRNet (Radio over Internet Protocol Routed Network) is a United States military network that allows users to exchange radio voice data over an IP routed network. In 2007, RIPRNet is still being installed in Iraq for use by US and Coalition forces.
It is a Tactical System, used by trucks or mobile forces. Part of the network is routed over Strategic systems to increase connectivity.
As of July 2007, 14 core sites and 37 ground station consoles were operational, costing "less than $10 million (US dollars) to implement, and is expected to cost 300,000 a year to maintain." [1]
