Raytheon to build wireless network for U.S. military

Raytheon Co. has been chosen to build a wireless network to integrate communications between military and civilian radio systems under a contract that could be worth as much as $155 million.

The contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency provides Raytheon $24.4 million for one year. Options would extend the deal for the mobile network to 2012 and raise the potential value to $155 million.

The system will integrate more than 30 different military, civil or coalition radios into an affordable single network to facilitate communications.

Raytheon says the unique architecture of the system overcomes the limits of most networking systems in use today.  The company also says the system allows for many more users to join the network at the same time.
