Cormorant Network
The Cormorant Communications Network is a military wide area communications network implemented by the British Army sometime around 2000.[1] It has also been adopted by certain Royal Air Force units in limited deployments.
Role
[edit]The network provides end-to-end wide area communications using the same Asynchronous Transfer Mode protocol that underpins many late-20th Century civilian telecommunications networks. It supports voice traffic routed over IP (although this is distinct from Internet VoIP) and can also support IPv4 and IPv6 BTDS traffic.
Criticisms
[edit]On 10 September 2009 the MoD announced[2] that the system was to be withdrawn from service in Afghanistan and replaced with a system from Israel called Radwin .
