Open packet radio protocols for highly survivable LAN to LAN interconnectivity

Both media diversity and open packet radio protocols has been the focus of the STC activities in the area of highly survivable communications (HSC) since the early eighties. Recently a suite of packet radio protocols providing standard OSI data link layer services has been completed and tested on both on-the-air and under laboratory conditions. The STC suite of packet radio protocols provide connectivity over high frequency (HF) sky-wave, meteor burst (MB) and mixed/media (MM) HF-MB radio media. They utilize standard military or commercial hardware equipment and are interoperable with the OSI connectionless network layer protocol (CLNP)
