Abstract: Learn how Cisco Systems
collaborated with the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) to invent the Cisco 3200 Mobile
Access Router, a miniaturized router suitable for use
in mobile deployments, particularly for military, Homeland
Security, law enforcement, and emergency response agencies.
The router works in rugged environments, and interoperates
with adjunct technologies such as network encryptors
and wireless transmitters. NASA and Cisco field-tested
the technology aboard the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Neah
Bay in November 2002, simulating conditions that would
occur in space flight.

building a foundation for the seamless and secure exchange
of information. IP-based networks empower agencies
by providing them with the tools to establish inter-
and intra-agency collaboration, build community partnerships,
improve emergency response and protect first-responders,
and better leverage their resources.
