if you look at the wireless signaling transport used for nuclear weapons you see what is required for highly available wireless in a combat environment. minuscule bandwidth, excessive high power (tens of thousands of watts), and antennas literally dropped from the bottom of a plane and circled above the recipient. availability for RF transmission is a game of brute force and efficiency. if you can brute it hard enough, and tolerate bandwidth small enough, it will always be available... _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
