NORFOLK – The Navy teamed up with industry partners to create a Wireless Connectivity Bridge that allows for 20 times faster connectivity speeds. Wasp’s Information Systems Technician 3rd Class Jamira Jenkins joined Rear Adm. Brendan McLane, Commander, Naval Surface Force Atlantic, to celebrate the successful launch for this first-of-its-kind capability. Historically, Internet Protocol (IP) services for ships in a shipyard availability were at half a megabit per second, which meant browsers were likely to time out before connection to many Navy websites. McLane stated he was excited about this technology solution and was incredibly proud of the hard work Sailors, contractors, and the SURFLANT team put forth in this effort. The first ship to benefit from this technology, Wasp is currently in a dry-dock selected restricted availability at BAE Shipyards and welcomes the upgrade.
