"Our experience in supporting the transport of voice, video and data applications in numerous military field deployments and our understanding of the user's need for a cost effective and easily integrated solution to improve the transfer speed of critical information from the field, made the decision to develop the MiniACCELERATOR an easy one." noted Leo Leo, in astronomy Leo [Lat.,=the lion], northern constellation lying S of Ursa Major and on the ecliptic (apparent path of the sun through the heavens) between Cancer and Virgo; it is one of the constellations of the zodiac. Miller, President of LTI. "We were pleased to work on this project with Expand and believe we have now given our government customers a strategic alternative to expensive leased circuit tariffs and upgrades." "Real-time collaboration and planning during conflicts between civil and military command is essential as it provides a common operational picture of the battlefield. Life and death decisions are based on the information derived from this cooperation", said Mike Meyers former military WAN communications craftsman and now Manager of LTI's Technical Services Team. "The MiniACCELERATOR is compact, portable and most importantly Adv. 1. most importantly - above and beyond all other consideration; "above all, you must be independent" above all, most especially enables seamless communication for rapid and decisive operations," noted Matt Miller, Lead Project Engineer for the Mini. ACCELERATOR products are also an integral part of the US Joint Forces Command's Millennium 02 program (MC02) - the nation's ground breaking experiment which includes testing of a portable command and control system that enables Rapid Decisive Operations (RDO (Remote Data Objects) A programming interface for data access from Microsoft. It is used in Visual Basic to access remote ODBC databases. See DAO, ADO, OLE DB and ODBC. ) in a simulated war environment. One of the experimental concepts tested during this program is the Joint En-route Mission Planning and Rehearsal System - Near Term (JEMPRS-NT JEMPRS-NT Joint Enroute Mission Planning & Rehearsal System-Near Term ). Part of the experiment focused on the joint task force commander's ability to maintain seamless command and control as he moved his command center from land to air and to sea using a specialized system of laptops and ACCELERATORS that essentially streamlines and compresses bandwidth-heavy information used by ground-based communication systems.
