For any one of you, who already owns a submarine - good news -- a Maritime Telecommunications Network (MTN) of Miramar, Florida, has equipped the USS Oklahoma City with cellular phones installed below deck. The ship will also be outfitted with a CDMA PICO Cell and cellular telephones provided by Wi
reless Maritime Services, a joint venture between MTN and Cingular Wireless.
In addition to the cellular services that are provided aboard the submarine, the USS Oklahoma City was part of a live, real-time broadcast this morning when American Broadcasting Company’s (ABC) Good Morning America broadcast from the emerged submarine. This was the first broadcast of its kind.
To make the broadcast possible, the submarine and its support vessel, the US Navy USNS Dolores Chouset, were equipped with 1900 MHz high-gain CDMA antennas and microwave communications equipment. The submarine transmitted the live video broadcast to the Chouset using bi-directional microwave radios. The cellular technology was then used to support the two-way communications between the New York studio and the USS Oklahoma while below the surface. |
