The system uses a secure link, which is protected through encryption for joint and coalition operations, and can accommodate more simultaneous users than regular mobile phone systems.

Lockheed Martin Information Systems and Global Solutions – Defence director of strategic development Sam Guthrie said commanders could stay connected at any time and anywhere on base with full voice, text, e-mail, imagery and applications with MONAX.

“We demonstrated that MONAX extends existing communications systems and allows all these features with just one device on a secure private network,” he added.
